Music legend Paul Simon will be visiting BAM in Brooklyn for a month-long residency. He will be putting on three different shows, each with various special guests. Read the release from BAM below:
Latin beats and 50s doo-wop fill New York City’s nights with Songs from The Capeman. In Under African Skies, Simon rekindles a love affair with the sounds of South Africa and Brazil which began with his masterpieces Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints. Finally, Simon revisits the quiet railway stations, urban rhythms, and immigrant dreams of his greatest American Tunes.
