PLG Arts Jazz at the Ink Well Cafe presents Dr. Mambo and his Explosion Experience Thursday, March 10, from 8-10:30. The Experience Ensemble covers the bases from Caribbean sounds, reggae, salsa, Latin Jazz to Soukous and High Life as the rhythmic engines that drives the Experience Jazz extravaganza. They are firm believers in a Ghanaian proverb “SANKOFA, wonkyir” which, when translated, means “There’s nothing wrong with going back to your roots.”
You can hear a preview of this great sound at Dr. Mambo’s website. Then come hear it in person—and try some of the great soul food while you’re at it.
PLG Arts Jazz at the Ink Well presents great music the second Thursday of every month. Starting in the warmer weather, you can hear more great music on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month through July. Upcoming shows: April 14—Jeff King. April 28—David Aaron and Short Memory. Aren’t we lucky to have this so close by?
Note: This event has been cancelled due to a scheduling problem and is being rescheduled.
Have you ever wondered who these officers are that patrol our streets? Have you ever wanted to ask them questions about our neighborhood and their job? Is there something on your mind that you’d like to address with them? This is your opportunity. These officers will also benefit from hearing our concerns and thoughts. The goal of the event is to bring the Prospect Lefferts Garden community together with these officers in order to have folks meet fact to face. Ultimately, we believe that greater familiarity between residents and officers will increase communication and trust.
You are invited to the first PLG Meet your “Beat Cop” Wine & Cheese Event.
