Friday, September 30, 7pm – Little Haiti Cultural Center, 212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami

The Rhythm Foundation kicks off the season with a truly memorable concert and membership event. One of world music’s most entrancing projects this year is Chamber Music, a collaboration between Malian kora player Ballake Sissoko and French trip-hop cellist Vincent Segal. The harp-like kora of West Africa meets the classic depth of the cello in a match that mirrors the friendship between the musicians. The music is elegant, beautiful and truly cross-cultural. The evening begins at 7 p.m. with the concert, followed by a cocktail reception at 8 and the party at 9 with Champion Sound DJs, drinks, snacks and a silent auction. The $100 admission includes Rhythm Foundation membership for one year.
