One word for this evening … la pasion !”
Join us at Ginkgo on Thursday 4th June from 9:30pm for live music from from guitarist Amine Kouider who is Beijing for a few weeks. Born in Algiers, Algeria and currently living in the US, Amine has been singing for as long as he could speak. At the age of 4 he was nicknamed “cassette tape” because of his non-stop singing!
His music blends graceful Algerian Rai music with Reggae beats, French Lullabies with Spanish Rumbas. Amine sings in English, French, Arabic, Berber and Spanish. His acoustic performance will include original songs and covers from Manu Chao, Khaled, Bob Marley, George Moustaki and others. Don’t miss him before he leaves town!
UPDATE – Amine will be joined by the Australian percussionist, Zac Courtney, on Djembe.
