Music Without Borders Presents Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou with La 33 July 15, 2010

Presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Millennium Park, Music Without Borders expands this year to eight double-bill concerts June 3 through July 22. In its fifth year, the wildy popular free international music series features traditional folk and pop artists from around the globe.

The Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Contonou’s psychedelic guitar grooves and funky organ sounds journey from Benin to the Millennium Park stage for their Chicago debut on their first U.S. tour. Their inimitably vintage sound is gaining much international acclaim, and igniting dance floors all over the globe. Opening the night are the irresistible new-wave salsa sounds of Colombia’s La 33 with their premiere Chicago performance.
