Gig Alerts | May 17, 2018

Gig Alert: Bokanté at Brooklyn Bowl (partial refund available)
Banda Magda with members of Snarky Puppy are performing instead.
Tickets: $12. Show at 8PM.

Sounds from around the world come together in the band Bokanté. Vocalist Malika Tirolien sings in Creole and French, and behind her is a group led by guitarist and bassist Michael League, of the Grammy-winning jam band Snarky Puppy, and sporting no fewer than three percussionists. They describe Bokante as being rich in the sounds of the delta and the desert, and they’ve recently released an album called Strange Circles.

Bokanté will no longer be performing on this date due to unforseen circumstances. Partial refunds applicable to ticket holders or full refunds are available if you will no longer be attending the show. Banda Magda has stepped in to headline.
