Tickets will be on sale two weeks before the show at the Coop, B-Side Records on State Street and MadCity Music Exchange in the Gateway Mall on Williamson St. For on-line ticket sales go to the High Noon's website: www.high-noon.com.

Kekele are an irresistible mix of Cuban rumba and African rhythms first heard blended in the sixties, reflecting the optimism of the newly independent African nations.
Kékélé has succeeded in bringing this sound back to life, featuring many of the musicians from the classic orchestras of that era. Enchanting vocals, vivacious rhythms and spellbinding guitar-based dance make the Congolese Rumba totally uplifting and joyous. This is the classic Congo sound before the rhythmic intensity of soukous overpowered its subtlety.

I studied rather how to avoid the necessity of selling them."
