Blending Malian, American, and "dirty south" influences into a sound all its own, Toubab Krewe "has set a new standard for fusions of rock 'n' roll and West African music," says Banning Eyre of Afropop Worldwide. Members of the group developed their unique sound over the course of numerous trips to West Africa, where they immersed themselves in the local culture and studied and performed with musicians such as Lamine Soumano, Vieux Kante, Madou Dembele, and Koungbanan Conde. The band captivated crowds and created a following everywhere from Bonnaroo and High Sierra music festivals to Blue Note and the JFK Center for Performing Arts. This is a late night, All Ages show.

The Donald & Paula Smith Family Foundation Presents a Discussion Civil Rights & Urban Education: What is necessary to overcome educational Inequality? Featuring Harold Ford, Jr. Former Congressman Chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council Professor of Public Policy, Vanderbilt University and Clint Bolick President and General Counsel, Alliance for School Choice Co-Founder, Institute for Justice Author: Voucher Wars Moderator Philip Hamburger Professor, Columbia Law Co-Sponsor: Columiba Law Federalist Society Today, more than fifty years since Brown v. Board of Education and twenty years since the landmark report A Nation at Risk, the public education problems they identified still exist. No Child Left Behind nationally along with state-based litigation to increase educational spending are the latest attempts to address these problems. However, improved student outcomes remain illusive. Most acknowledge the biggest problems are in our urban schools. Is there any hope to close the learning gap? Can we expect our existing system to succeed after so many disappointments? Is New York City�s recent experiment with stronger leadership and centralization working? Alternatively, is more decentralization, parental choice and school based competition the answer? Tuesday, April 17th, 2007 6:30 P.M. Prompt (Free and open to the public - Reception to follow) Tuesday April 17th 6:30 PM @ Columbia Law School Jerome Greene Hall @ 116th and Amsterdam (Enter on 116th, Room 104) Subway: 1/9 train to 116th Street station
