Revels and the Charles River Conservancy teamed up again to present RiverSing on September 21, 2008 to celebrate the first day of fall. The free giant community sing happened along the banks of the Charles by the Weeks Footbridge linking Allston and Cambridge.

In this short featurette you will see samples of performances by Bill Staines, David Coffin, Stan Strickland, Ken Field, Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band, the Mystic Drummers, the River Folk Band and members of the Mystic Chorale, Revels Repertory Company, Sharing a New Song, the Halalisa Singers, and the Greater Boston Intergenerational Chorus.

CCTV's Annual BBQ Fundraiser on Thursday, Sept. 18th will once again feature live music by Zili Misik! With a sound that reconnects Haitian mizik rasin, jazz, roots reggae, samba, Cuban son, and neo soul, Zili honors its influences while creating a sound that is uniquely its own. Voted #1 in the "Best World Music" category in a recent Boston Phoenix poll, Zili retraces routes of forced exile and cultural resistance through diasporic rhythm and song with captivating sounds that evoke the African continent. Powerful Haitian, Brazilian and West African rhythms infuse Zili's original creations and traditional folksongs. Click "play" below to watch a clip from Zili Misik's performance last year.
