Bela Fleck at Coolidge Corner Theatre
Seeing Bela Fleck in person is a requirement for any music fan. Seeing Bela Fleck as he traverses the continent of Africa researching the little known source of the Banjo and getting to see him perform some of the music he recorded on this trip live is one hell of a treat.
Guess what Boston, you can have your cake and eat it too come next Thursday when Bela comes rolling in with film in hand. The film, “Throw Down Your Heart“, has one several awards including the Audience Award at South by Southwest and at the Vancouver Film Festival.
The film helps shine a bright spot on what is commonly seen as a demilitarized zone in the media – Africa. With all the stories about HIV/AIDS, civil wars and genocide, it’s no wonder most people see this continent in a dark light. Bela takes us on a journey through the Africa that very few witness because very few ever take the time to expose.
Tickets are available online at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. After the showing Bela will be performing some of the music that was recorded during this trip and also participating in some Q&A.
