I saw the Colombian-Canadian artist Lido Pimienta two weeks ago at Brighton Music Hall in Boston. She's a pretty good artist and a pretty good act too. Not my very favorite, but I was certainly glad to see her. Pimienta's fans love her very much...
music notes
Meant to get this out last Saturday. I did not get it done. So this is good enough I guess. I saw Parquet Courts at the Royale in Boston last.

I was so happy to see my first jazz show in two years last Friday at Firehouse 12 in New Haven. It was Bill Lowe's Signifyin' Natives, effectively a post-colonial.
