World. African
Common Ground Coffeehouse
25 Old Jackson Avenue
Hastings-on-Hudson, NY   See Map
If you step into The First Unitarian Society of Westchester on 4/28 when the Mandingo Ambassadors are playing, and close your eyes, you'll go back in time, and across the Atlantic to Guinea, West Africa, in the 1960s. Although the Mandingo Ambassadors consist of four Guineans and four Americans (most of whom have studied music in Guinea), the sound is, as founder and lead guitarist Mamady Kouyaté proudly proclaims, “100-percent Manding” with mellifluous, Latin-tinged rhythms and vocal melodies, and fleet, stinging electric guitar lines drawn from Guinea’s centuries-old traditions of Manding music.

Blues, Americana
Brian's Backyard BBQ
1665 RTE 211 EAST
Middletown, NY   See Map
Felix and the Havana's 1989 disc NEXT, followed by '97's Cu-bops, Cu-blues with Jimmy Vivino and the Black Italians, and 2001's Pressure Cooker. Cabrera's latest release, For Green (2004, Si records), is a fresh blast of original blues rock with a slight latin tinge.

Tracks like "Josephine" and the Leiber/Stoller-penned "I Keep Forgettin'" offer chugging, roadhouse blues, while slow-burners lie "Cold, Cold" and "For Green" showcase Cabrera's reflective lyrics. Best of all, though are "Self Argument in D-minor," with its swinging Cuban melody line and the fiddle-and ?conga driven "Animalism" which recalls the swinging Latin psychedelic experimentalism of early 70's Ray Barretto or the Larry Harlow Orchestra.

As for Cabrera, he takes the philosphical approach of the journeyman. "There's really nothing else for me to do," he says with a laugh. "Playing the blues is all I ever wanted to do." NO COVER CHARGE!!!!!! (845)692-3227

It's that time of the month again, for the ever so popular Open Mic Night at Aroma Thyme Bistro. All are welcome to Open Mic nights.

And there's always a new act of some sort to welcome each month.
