9-10pm:
LES NUBIANS
Les Nubians has its genesis in a small town in the South West region of France where the Paris-born sisters Hélène and Célia Faussart lived as teenagers after returning from several years' residence with their parents in the African country of Chad. Their upcoming album Nü Revolution may be the most impressive representation of Les Nubians' "Afropean Soul" to date. Featuring special guests ranging from African music legend Manu Dibango to indie soul icon Eric Roberson, with South African pop stars Freshly Ground, Ghanian-American MC Blitz The Ambassador and Polish MC John Banzaï along for the ride. Somehow,Les Nubians manage to make the blend of so many diverse elements seem logical and organic; it flows quitenaturally from their multicultural lives.

"…It's the evolution of a dream. It's also the evolution and the revolution, through woman, through Eve. This album is how we materialize our dreams and how we formulate new dreams to create the future." – Célia
