Los Angeles-based band Dengue Fever blends 60's Cambodian pop and psychedelic rock with danceable grooves and ghostly noir romanticism. Cambodian Chhom Nimol fronts the band and sings mostly in her native language. She's backed by American rockers (Zac Holtzman, Ethan Holtzman, Senon Williams, Paul Smith, and David Ralicke) who play guitar, farfisa (a small, Italian-made organ), bass, drums, and saxophone.
Dengue Fever draws enthusiastic crowds from L.A. to the UK, from Maui to Moscow, and leaves critics rummaging through the thesaurus looking for new superlatives to describe their sound.
Concert of Colors is metro Detroit’s free annual global music festival, an upbeat event celebrating diverse World music traditions-including the indigenous music of the Motor City. The festival also hosts the Forum on Community, Culture and Race, a series of conversations with artists, cultural and community leaders examining the role of the arts in overcoming social barriers.
