Congolese rumba icon <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FallyIpupaOfficial/" target="_blank">Fally Ipupa</a> returns to New York City for a live performance with his group F. Vic' Team at <a href="http://www.symphonyspace.org/event/9502/Music/fally-ipupa-live-in-new-york-city" target="_blank">Symphony Space on Nov. 5</a>, presented by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/madeinafricanyc/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Made in Africa NYC</a>.
We're excited to give away a pair of tickets! All you have to do is email info@afropop.org with "Fally Ipupa" in the subject for your chance to win! The show takes place at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Symphony Space, Sat., Nov. 5, 2016, at 8 p.m.
Last year, we caught Fally Ipupa's New York City debut with Ivorian superstar Serge Beynaud. Check out our review and photo essay <a href="https://afropop.test.ejaedesign.com/24920/fally-ipupa-and-serge-beynaud-late-night-labor-day-delight/" target="_blank">here</a>:

We have reason to believe the show at the world-class concert hall Symphony Space will be even better that last year. Fally will be joined by his group the <a href="https://youtu.be/t-UyOuVpyvU" target="_blank">F'victeam</a>, and the opening acts are the hardworking NYC-based Congolese artists <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Rafiyamusic/" target="_blank">Rafiya</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nkumukatalayTLLPB/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Nkumu Katalay </a>and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Spartadelamodeofficial/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Sparta de la Mode</a>. Fally is celebrating 10 years on his own as a leader, and we look forward to interviewing the star in November.
