Bay Area dance kings Sila and the Afrofunk Experience combine an international vision with dazzling musicianship. Frontman Victor Sila rivets audiences with a combination of James Brown's punchy grooves and Fela Kuti's relentless West African swing. Sila sings of the African experience: the problems he and many others face every day, in a language understood throughout the world. James Brown would be proud. Will the world embrace it? We hope so. If Sila and the Afrofunk Experience doesn't get you up and dancing, you've probably lost it.

INFORUM and The Commonwealth Club present Wednesday, July 18 JIMBO WALES Founder, Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation and Wikia When you need information fast, about anything or anyone, where do you turn? It seems flipping through the pages of an Encyclopedia is a thing of the past, as the quirky but clearly computer savvy Jimbo Wales has opened the doors to boundless and up to date encyclopedic information on the Web. Wales is best known for his major role in the founding of the new go-to informational resource, Wikipedia and has recently caught our attention in his headlong battle against Google to promise more transparency and less spam. While these resources allow access to a tremendous amount of information, we must ask ourselves, “How accurate are these posts, how much can we rely on them?” Jimmy Wales will explain his thoughts on the accuracy of Wiki posts, the politics of the Internet, as well as what’s next on his agenda. 6:00 p.m., Check-in | 6:30 p.m., Program | 7:30 p.m., Wine and Hors d'oeuvres Reception | Club office, 595 Market St., 2nd Floor, San Francisco | $12 for Members, $20 for Non-Members, $7 for Students (with valid ID; to reserve student tickets call 415-597-6705) Commonwealth Club Office, 595 Market Street (at Second), 2nd floor, San Francisco Directly outside of the Montgomery Bart Station Subscribe to our weekly email newsletter to hear about upcoming events at www.commonwealthclub.org/inforum INFORUM is a division of The Commonwealth Club by and for people in their 20s and 30s, with a mission to inspire debate around civic issues.

Injecting a wider range of emotions into their music than most of their guitar-based peers in England, Elbow referred to themselves as "prog without the solos" without winking. Based in Manchester, the band went through a couple of developmental stages before settling on its sound, playing locally and attracting record label interest. Elbow's first EPs 'Newborn' and 'Any Day Now' were released by Manchester indie Uglyman. V2 eventually caught notice and signed them, releasing 'Asleep in the Back.' The record was short-listed as a nominee for 2001's Mercury Prize, arriving in the U.S. in early 2002. Their most recent effort is 'The Seldom Seen Kid.'
