Ricardo Lemvo’s blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with pan- African styles (soukous, Angolan semba and kizomba) has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “seamless and infectious.” This Congo-born artist of Angolan ancestry is the embodiment of the Afro-Latin diaspora which connects back to Mother Africa via the Cuban clave rhythm. Lemvo is truly multi-cultural and equally at home singing in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Lingala and Kikongo.

Since forming his Los Angeles-based band Makina Loca in 1990, Lemvo has refined his craft and vision, raising his joyous voice with strength, singing songs that celebrate life and, most

importantly, inspiring his audiences to let loose and dance away their worries. The band’s six CDs have been enthusiastically acclaimed by both print and broadcast media worldwide. Lemvo has been the subject of various radio and television programs including BBC Radio, Radio France Internationale, Radio-Télévision Belge, National Public Radio, CBS Sunday Morning, NBC Today Show, CNN World Beat, National Geographic World Music and Rádio Nacional de Angola. In film, Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca appeared in the 1998 film Dance With Me. This is Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca’s first engagement at the Hopkins Center.

From his omnivorous musical tastes, killer chops and beguiling whimsy, singer/songwriter/violinist Bird crafts a unique style that’s won him a devoted international following. Here fresh from Tennessee’s Bonnaroo Festival, he and his old-timey acoustic string band Hands of Glory go back to rootsy basics with sinuous fiddling, “high lonesome” vocals and old-soul original songs—embellished now and then by Bird’s virtuosic whistling. Opening for Bird is ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers bandmate Jimbo Mathus and his Tri-State Coalition, a born-in-the-bone Southern roots music ensemble.

Veteran film and TV director Paul Lazarus ‘76 returns to campus with this special advance screening. His eye-opening documentary follows iconoclast inventor and modern hero Dean Kamen (of Segway fame), who just might have enough passion, will and innovative thinking to solve the planet’s biggest crisis. SlingShot traces the story of Kamen’s revolutionary water purification machine—which has the potential to prevent 50% of all human illness—from its inception to trials in Africa.
