On Thursday, March 5, 2009, Boubacar Diabate and his band, SambaLolo
(meaning Peace Star), will be headlining an evening of music at Johnny D's
in Davis Square, Somerville.  Through the age-old West African tradition of
Griot storytelling, Diabate combines traditional rhythms with modern
influences to create his own infectious style of music with trips to Jazz,
Blues and Reggae.  Singing in Mandeng, Bamanan and English, Diabate tells
stories of common shared human experiences such as of love, life and
humanity.  From the first note, Diabate and SambaLolo deliver a mesmerizing
and memorable performance.   Diabate hails from Bamako in Mali, West Africa and
is now a resident of Somerville.

Opening for Diabate and SambaLolo will be the six-piece reggae band, The
Equalites from Northampton, MA.  Fronted by the strong, soulful vocals of
lead guitarist David Boatwright, The Equalites deliver a performance like no
other anywhere within the reggae genre.  With a truly original sound, The
Equalites have taken reggae music into exciting new territory, reminiscent
of the classic Studio One recordings that also pushed the boundaries into
advanced dub, afro beat, one drop, rockers, and bluebeat.  The Equalites
deliver a great evening of conscious original and classic dance boogie skank
that moves people to move, sweat, and sing along.
