Folklife 2016

New York guitarist Guy Davis performs at the Northwest Folklife Festival in 1997.

The 1997 NWFL cultural focus included a performance production entitled "African Aesthetic in Two Worlds" which explores the evolution of African and African-American string instruments, and acoustic and electric guitar styles from both continents. This event features blues musicians from the U.S. and musicians from Senegal and Madagascar as well.
