FIL2012 Scenes: Bombino





Bombino, led by a Taureg guitarist, playing desert rock with protest themes against the governments of Mali and Niger were in town last night as well. Taureg rebels just recently declared independence from Mali on April 6th, forming the state of Azawad...and that region is potentially facing a major humanitarian disaster and unrest. Made me wish I could understand the lyrics to their songs last night.  Read more about Azawad here.

FIL2012 Scenes: Beats Antique

Modern technology meets world music, tribal themes and on stage performance with Beats Antique. Not a bad way to start off FIL2012 last night.

Balboa Jozy Reunion


 It's been a while since Jozy got to enjoy Lake Balboa out in Hot Springs Village. Here are a couple photos taken from a brief trip to the beach today. She was one happy dog.
