DanceAfrica bazaar at BAM

For those who want some local action this weekend, check out the DanceAfrica bazaar
at BAM this weekend. A New York Times article profiles how a store owner from Burkina Faso is coming to Brooklyn to sell her goods.

The article also talks about how Carol's Daughter on Dekalb and S. Elliott found fame via the bazaar.

For sellers of African and Africa-inspired goods, the bazaar has become a
colorful kickoff for the summer street festival season, drawing vendors from all
over the world and merchandise from just about every country in Africa. These
days, the swirl of face painters, tie-dye fabrics, embroidery, regal head
scarves, colorful boubou gowns, $1 straw hats, instruments like beaded gourd
shekeres and jimbe drums, jerk chicken and roasted corn outside the academy
threatens to dwarf the dance inside.
