By the way, if you haven’t heard about this yet, you should definitely check out 651 Arts upcoming festival The Mississippi Delta Heritage Project which has tons of great events and performances going on in BKLYN from May 28 to June 7. (They actually had an event in early May, but I spaced. Sorry!) Personally I’m very excited about the Ping Chong/Talvin Wilks project (which I hear is already sold out) and the blues series at Frank’s Cocktail Lounge. That is going to be amazing!

Claudia La Rocco did a nice piece in the Times about Olu Dara and Dianne McIntyre who are also featured in 651’s Festival.

So if you’re looking for something different to do in the arts and culture world, here’s a great chance!
