Tal National to perform March 3

Tal National, a high energy rock ‘n roll band from West Africa, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 3, at Strand Theatre, 345 Main St. in Rockland.

The band is from Niamey, the capital city of Niger. Their music is hypnotic, a highly unique contribution to West African guitar music. With its lightening fast rhythms and rotating cast of vocalists can be heard the history of Niger as a cultural crossroads along ancient trade routes.
