CONTEST: Win Tickets to Ethio-Legend Girma Bèyènè at (le) Poisson Rouge

<p>What's better than seeing Ethio-funk-jazz legend Girma Bèyènè? Only seeing him for free&mdash;and your friends at Afropop and World Music Institute want to give you that gift, when Girma and his band play Manhattan's (le) Poisson Rouge on Sept. 12.</p> <p>It's very simple: All you have to do is <a href="https://afropop.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e1be0209d153ff0a13e774d51&id=5001ba17ad">sign up for Afropop's e-newsletter list</a>&mdash;which comes out just once a week and tells you about the programming and New York concerts you want to hear about anyway&mdash;and then email <a href="mailto:info@afropop.org?subject=Girma%20B%C3%A8y%C3%A8n%C3%A8%20Tickets">info@afropop.org</a>. Have something like “Girma Bèyènè Tickets” in the subject line, and we'll notify the winner by Sept. 9. </p> <p> Bèyènè has been compared to Johnny Cash, as a respected elder statesman with a sonorous voice. A contemporary of golden age icons like Mulatu Astatke and Mahmoud Ahmed, Girma is a legend in his own right, not to be missed, and (le) Poisson Rouge is the ideal place to see him. </p> <p>Don't miss this one, whatever you do.</p>
