This star-studded collective unites the talents of 5 musicians, each an expert in their individual style and together creating musical magic with African Guitar Summit. (note to press \u2013 the original African Guitar Summit is composed of 9 musicians most of whom have their own bands \u2013 hence the entire group can rarely travel together due to other commitments, but the this group features the main members)<\/p>\n<p>Do not miss the opportunity to experience live this superb and unique achievement for African music; the mix of musicians who are distinct in cultural backgrounds and languages yet sharing stories and singing each others praises, the inspiration of these skilled hands and voices joined in common to reach the summit\u2026A truly incredible experience!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>African Guitar Summit features: From Guinea, the smooth fire of Juno Award winner Alpha YaYa Diallo; and the heartbeat of drummer Kofi Ackah; from Kenya, the Fiesta guitar of Professor Adam Solomon; and from Madagascar the quicksilver guitars and harmonies of Donne Roberts and multiple Juno Award winner, Madagascar Slim. Their debut CD \u201cAfrican Guitar Summit\u201d was honored with a Juno as World Music Album of the Year at the 2005 Juno Awards in April. Their second album, &#8220;African Guitar Summit II&#8221;, garnered a 2007 Juno award nomination in the same category.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI consider the African Guitar Summit one of the great musical finds of my concert producing efforts,\u201d says Gene Jenneman, Executive Director of the Dennos Museum Center. \u201cWhether I am playing their music for friends here or in Beijing, as I have in recent years, the reaction is the same \u2013 people love its infectious rhythm and joyful sounds. When I heard them in Toronto years ago now, I had to have them at the Dennos. This is only their third tour in the United States, the first two organized by the Dennos!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2014-2015 performance season at the Dennos Museum Center is made possible with support from arts Midwest, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts, the Robert T and Ruth Haidt Trust, and the Osterlin Performance Endowment with media support from WNMC 90.7, WCMU Public Broadcasting, Northern Express and TV 29&amp;8 \u2013 7&amp;4.
