The longtime Twin Cities favorite “The Walker Art Center Music & Movies: In Dreams” continues on Monday August 6 with by far its biggest presentation ever of an African artist, the world-renown “Giant of African Pop” Oliver Mtukudzi.
Oliver Mtukudzi and the Black Spirits will appear for a free open air concert at Loring Park in Minneapolis across the street from America’s First Basilica, St. Mary’s Basilica and near the Walker itself. Music starts at 7:00 PM. Bring your picnic gear.
Mtukudzi is an international sensation and is known for his husky, mellifluous voice and gift for combining gripping guitar-based melodies with hypnotic rhythms.
