BAM’s got Paul Simon for the month of April and it should be a very exciting month at BAM. Tickets are going to go fast so you better get moving on that. It’s a very interesting survey of Simon’s post Art Garfunkel career. Here’s the blurb and info from the BAM website.
Latin beats and 50s doo-wop fill New York City’s nights with Songs from The Capeman. In Under African Skies, Simon rekindles a love affair with the sounds of South Africa and Brazil which began with his masterpieces Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints. Finally, Simon revisits the quiet railway stations, urban rhythms, and immigrant dreams of his greatest American Tunes.
