...robes that emphasised his spur-of-the-moment dancing, he is also entirely deserving of his place in the pantheon of African music. Playing to a highly appreciative audience in the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square, Maal performed selections from his latest, acoustically-flavored disc, Missing You…Mi Yeewnii. Rumor has it that the disc was recorded outside in a small village in Senegal after the sun had gone down, and the slow-burning grooves evoke such an atmosphere...
...quarter of the payments made to existing member states. Entrants would have to wait up to a decade to receive similar amounts. But the proposals, yet to be debated, provide for $35 billion in direct aid, rather than production subsidies. CHECHNYA Choppers Down Russian forces in Chechnya lost two Mi-8 helicopters within two days. The first exploded and crashed, killing 14, including General Mikhail Rudchenko, Deputy Interior Minister in charge of the North Caucasus, General Nikolai Garidov, commander of the interior troops in Chechnya, and three colonels. Conflicting versions emerged about the cause of the crash, including a missile...

Frankie always seemed more at home on his own compositions, extracting more...
...gave it an abbreviated dirty funk treatment. Eguie Castrillo occupied a middle space on the congas, sometimes meshing with the rest of the rhythm section’s ideals, but at other times, seeming almost at odds with drummer Nomar Negron, who played drum set. On “Mi Amiga Mi Amore”, the two traded combative fours (four-bar solo segments); instead of amicably pushing each other to greater creative heights, the same goal was accomplished antagonistically, as if they were attempting to show up one another (for the curious, Castrillo won). The spectacle...
