FRIDAY AUGUST 13th
At Grand Performances
Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba and Dengue Fever Host KPFK's DJ Nnamdi!
Friday, August 13 2010, 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Mali’s Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba have deep roots in the griot tradition. The ngoni – considered to be the banjo’s ancestor – is at the center of the band’s energetic live performances. When paired with the bass ngoni, callebasse, percussion and vocalist Amy Sacko’s transcendent voice, the group’s pulsing, hypnotic sound compels audiences to dance. 60’s-era Cambodian pop meets psychedelic rock when Dengue Fever takes the stage. Sung in English and Cambodian, the band’s music has found homes in film and television shows such as Must Love Dogs and Weeds.

“ACCIDENTAL ICON: THE REAL GIDGET STORY” A Documentary
Oscar-winning actress Sally Field admits that Gidget was “my beginning and I loved her!” Former Motion Picture Academy President Frank Pierson calls Gidget as “a proto-feminist figure.” And says former U.S. Surf Champion Jericho Poppler Bartlow, “I remember thinking, `Gidget could do it…I know I can.’”
“ACCIDENTAL ICON: THE REAL GIDGET STORY,” a new one-hour documentary narrated by Jorja Fox (“CSI”) and produced by Brian L. Gillogly and Robert Masters, explores the largely untold story of the real “Gidget,” Kathy Kohner Zuckerman, and how her account of surfing Malibu in the mid-50’s became the basis for a best-selling novel by her father Frederick Kohner. A half century later, “Gidget” is celebrated as an enduring Hollywood movie/TV franchise and a slice of Americana, with considerable impact on popular culture and the sport of surfing.
