SUMMARY:Portland Swing Project feat. Hadacol Bouncers
DESCRIPTION:Join Portland Swing Project for live music and swing dancing in the Square! This month\, Hadacol Bouncers will perform. \nPortland Swing Project spreads the appreciation of swing music and dance through weekly classes and events for all levels of experience. We teach\, dance\, perform and provide live and DJ’d music to venues throughout Maine. Absolute beginners welcome\, no partner needed. \n“The Hadacol Bouncers formed in the summer of 2013 for a Portland\, Maine Swing Dance festival and have never looked back.  A Chicago and New Orleans-syle dance band\, they have continued their close association with the dance crowd and are always looking to play for dancers. The group is a joint effort by co-band leaders Tom Whitehead (piano) and Peter Dunphy (banjo). Tom has a multi-style background in blues\, New Orleans R&B and bebop piano. Peter has been playing New Orleans and Chicago-style jazz since he was fourteen. For the Hadacol Bouncers\, Tom and Peter handpicked some of their favorite musicians from the Portland and Portsmouth jazz scene. Like any band of this size\, there are several players who rotate in and out\, but the following are the established core.”

SUMMARY:Sabouyouma
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free concert and dance party with Sabouyouma! \nSabouyouma is a high energy 7-piece polyrhythmic groove machine that formed through ongoing musical relationships in Burlington\, Vermont’s vibrant West-African dance and drumming scene. Sabouyouma is led by Guinean-born Ousmane Camara: the band’s front man\, composer\, and master Balafonist (the Balafon is a West-African marimba). \nIn 2017 Sabouyouma opened for nationally touring acts like Xenia Rubinos (Brooklyn)\, Polyrhythmics (Seattle)\, Ikebe Shakedown (Brooklyn)\, and Jonathan Scales Fourchestra (Asheville\, North Carolina)\, and has performed at music festivals that have become staples of the Vermont music scene: Burlington Discover Jazz Fest\, Waking Windows\, and The Manifestivus. \nOusmane Camara is a 6th generation Griot: Historically\, in West Africa\, Griots passed messages from the king throughout the kingdom before pen and paper. Griots continue to play an important role in Africa today as poets\, musicians\, singers\, and historians\, preserving their ancient traditions through song. At the age of seven\, Ousmane left his family’s home to go live with his teacher\, Djeli Sana Camara. He would study and play balafon with his teacher for the next fifteen years. Ousmane continued to play throughout Guinea and traveled through nine other African countries. He has subsequently taught students from around the world.

The ensemble also features Michael Arciero on guitar\, Kris Day on upright bass and Don Whitney on drums\, with special guest Ellen Carlson on violin. The sound evokes the smooth\, acoustic feeling of Django Reinhardt’s gypsy jazz style\, but with a distinctly American flavor of vocal standards from the 20’s\, 30’s and 40’s.  \nWhitehead sings in a very mature\, improvisatory style that is greatly complimented by Arciero’s dynamic and virtuosic lead guitar playing. Day and Whitney provide a seamless and effortless rhythmic foundation that swings hard\, but is never overbearing. Carlson’s fiddle playing evokes the sophisticated swing of the great Stephan Grappelli along with the earthy grittiness of Vassar Clemens and Johnny Gimble. This group sails along like a Clipper Ship of a bygone era – smooth\, elegant\, powerful and a real joy to listen and dance to.“ \n  \nPortland Swing Project hosts swing dances in Congress Square Park every third Friday from May through August. \n  \n \n  \nSaveSave
