This Saturday in Miami
March 24, 2007
“Champion
of the 2007 Caribbean Cup, the National Team of Haiti gets ready
for an international “A” friendly soccer game with Vice
Champion of the 2007 UNCAF, the National Team of Panama.”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The upcoming match scheduled for March 24, 2007 at 7:00PM in the Orange Bowl Stadium, is the first
appearance for Haiti since winning the Caribbean Cup in Trinidad
on January 24, 2007. According to fifa.com, the win – a great
upset of the formbook – was celebrated long into the night back
in Port-au-Prince, and also by the pitch by the Haitian players in
the Trinidadian capital. Team Haiti’s outstanding performance during this
championship allowed them to be qualified for the CONCACAF Gold
Cup in June 2007.
Team Panama, Vice Champion of the 2007 UNCAF
will also participate at this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup. The
Haiti-Panama game will be a great opportunity for both team
members to strengthen their skills and practice for the upcoming
June’s Gold Cup.
The Caribbean Champions have a busy and
challenging year ahead of them.
In May, they will play another international “A”
friendly game in Miami, FL. In
June, the proud and hard working champs will face the top teams of
the Caribbean and Central America in the USA for the Gold Cup.
The scheduled September 8th Haiti-Costa Rica
game will mark the first meeting of the 2007 Caribbean Cup
Champions vs. the 2007 UNCAF Champions.
With a newly dose of confidence acquired from
winning the 2007 Caribbean Cup Title, and with their ever hunger
for success we have no doubt that
team Haiti will one more come out victorious at the 2007
CONCAFAF, and further down the road find themselves playing
against the best at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Africa.
Tickets are on sale at Maxi Sounds.
Groups of 20 or more can purchase discounted tickets if
reserved in advance. For more information, please call

Diabaté's
Symmetric Orchestra
|
Saturday,
March 31, 8pm
 Toumani
Diabaté is at the vanguard of a new generation of griots
from Mali
who are both modernizing and honoring their traditional music.
Responsible for introducing the western world to the kora,
a 21-stringed harp unique to West Africa; Toumani is not only a
performer of truly exceptional virtuosity and creativity; but he
also plays a vital role as band leader, teacher, musical
conservationist and composer at home in Bamako, the capital of
Mali where he was born and has lived all his life.
His latest release is Boulevard de l'Independence, recorded with
his Symmetric Orchestra - experts in everything from age-old
Malian standards to contemporary Cuban-Senegalese salsa.
"Diabaté
leads a big Malian dance band, decorating their cracking rhythms
and yearning voices with exquisite grace." - Uncut
Toumani
Diabaté Biography
"Diabaté's
playing is full of virtuoso technique in which he seems to be
picking out bass, solo and rhythm all at once... The blend lives
up to the band's title and everything fits with perfect
symmetry..." - Songlines
Video
of Toumani Diabaté Live
"Can
transcend melodies, spiraling off with flights of intricate
fantasy, exploring spaces you thought only existed in the
imaginations of the greatest jazz experimentalists." - MOJO
Samples
