Only a handful of guitarists in the instrument's history have come to be regarded with the awe and respect given to McLaughlin. His career highlights include a series of high-profile projects, including work with Miles Davis, the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra and Shakti. They've established him as one of the most incandescent players anywhere, capable of producing brilliance in any setting. "... given the intensity of his inspiration, the technical capacity of McLaughlin is truly phenomenal. His speed, stamina, profound lyricism and his very presence in sound - all of this is wrought through his sublime mastery of the guitar." -Down Beat Reserve Seats Now! $45, $35, $30, $25; GW Students: limited $15 tickets available at the Lisner Box Office Lisner Box Office, TicketMaster Outlets, PhoneCharge (301) 808-6900

Soft Power, Global Cool Wed., May 9, 6:30 p.m. Japan is one of the most influential of the world’s soft powers. With the spread of goods and images Japan has a new international face - the “king of cool” - and is finding a new place in the world with the world’s obsession with Japan’s pop culture. Dr. Christine Yano of the Department of Anthropology of Hawaii, brings us closer to understanding Japan’s newfound “cool.” Hello Kitty, anime, video games and music line the shelves of stores around the world having a far reaching impact and huge political potential. Through lecture and visual examples, Yano expands on the idea of pink globalization and the power Japan has through a global consumer culture.
