Greetings Neighbors,
Le Dakar Restaurant wishes you a happy and healthy New Year. This year will be our second in the neighborhood and we intend to bring more of the great food and cultural programs that we offered in 2005. Some of last year highlights includes our series “Bridging the Gap” a dinner conversation with Princeton University scholar and author Cornel West and a panel discussion with legendary musician Randy Weston. We also offered various performances-- among others, Senegalese Traditional music Diva Mahawa Kouyate, after her sold-out Carnegie Hall concert, gave an intimate show at Le Dakar. Jazz saxophonist TK Blue and his trio were also among our regulars, as well as Guinea master Balafonist Famoro Dioubate.
On a monthly basis artist-author Lorenzo Pace still curates a show at Le Dakar Gallery.
From January 29 to February 2nd, Julia Sarr and Patrice Larose, straight from Paris, will be our in-house performers before appearing at Joe’s Pub. Their latest album has received much acclaim (Julia also performed at Carnegie’s Zankel hall last fall). Their music is a great fusion of the Senegalese and Flamenco musical tradition and they are considered as the fresh face of African music by Grammy winning singer Youssou Ndour.
WBAI DJ Andrea Clark, host of “Sister From Another Planet”, will have a weekly spinning session Thursdays beginning February 2nd.
Our in house DJ Mohamed will bring his world flavors Wednesdays.
Still in February, Danny Simmons will be the guest curator at Le Dakar Gallery, continuing a tradition of presenting artist from our community.
We will close Black History Month and open Women’s Emancipation Month with the spoken Word. Acclaimed Poet Patricia Jones and Friends will host a night of poetry reading from their latest books. Stay tuned for more to come.
Last but not least, we are listed as one of the 10 best restaurants in Brooklyn (“Brooklyn Paper”, best of 2005).
Ask for our specials.
