Movie Night "Under African Skies"

This Friday we will be showing a wonderful movie that commemorates Paul Simon's most profound work - "Graceland" - which combined Simon's poetry and arrangements to what was to the Western world a new style of music - African Highlife.  "Under African Skies"celebrates the 25th anniversary of Simon's trip to South Africa to find the musicians who were playing this exciting, rhythm based music that inspired him so. The movie uses original footage that shows the creative process of recording the album along with their performances in Africa.  Highlights of interviews from then and now of all the great African musicians who played with Paul Simon; his struggles with the Black and White apartheid issue, and his willingness to see his way through all that to create a fusion of music that is still as fresh and exciting today as it was 25 years ago. So come on over to Teatro Luna Azul this Friday July 27 and enjoy dinner and a movie with us.  We will be doing a special grill night, with roasted veggie's on a bed of rice, and for the meat lovers, ribs on the grill with Raul's incredible BBQ sauce.  And of course fresh organic salads, and homemade mango pie, all at great prices! Dinner starts at 6:30pm, movie at Sunset. Because of road construction, when you go to the Otra Lado, drive past La Esquinna And turn right on the detour road before Pinos Mercado. This will bring you up to Camino Playitas. Follow north to Camino Cielo, turn lefto on Cielo towards to Ocean. At the bottom of the hill turn right at Las Liebres.
