Amadou & Mariam @Central Park Summerstage, Aug. 4th

I love summers in NYC because of the crazy amount of free shows out there, but man, it was a hot afternoon, baking in the sun. Bestest Boy, Jamie and I tolerated the opener, Just A Band, and barely got through Theophilus London, who was very entertaining, but I thought was a bit all over the place.  The payoff came in the form of the headliners, Amadou & Mariam, who were every bit as charming and wonderful as I expected them to be.  Such happy music!
