Tambours et tintins

Je vous accorderai du crédit supplémentaire si vous allez à ce spectacle et nous en faites une revue. C'est un autre média pour faire passer des connaissances (je me rappelle la parole de Mallarmé quand il a entendu L'après midi d'un faune de Débussy: Ah, c'est ça que je voulais dire!)

Dear Friends of La Maison Française,

I have the pleasure to inform you that Manuel Wandji, one of the most talented musicians from Cameroon, will be performing in Washington, DC on Friday, March 9 at 7:30 at the National Museum of Natural History (Baird Auditorium). This will be the launching concert of "the Month of the Francophonie" 2007!

Those who were here a few months ago to hear Gino Sitson at La Maison Française might remember this exceptional percussionist, drummer, singer and dancer. Come discover Manuel Wandji's newest album, « Planet Groove », rich, colorful and highly recommended for those who have the blues! On stage, his musicians and dancers transcend his music into a powerful show.

Only one performance in DC, don’t miss it!
When: Friday, March 9, 7:30pm
Where: The Baird Auditorium at the National Museum of Natural History, 10th Street and Constitution Avenue NW
