A musical evening featuring the choicest world music grooves from bands based in the DC-MD-VA region. Live music with influences from Africa, South America and the United States will include performances by Afro-pop maestros Elikeh, DC-based Brazilian band Alma Tropicália and raw southern soul from Baltimore’s Bellevederes.

Get Up and Git Down is part of Notasphere, a month of programming created by local artistic collaborators. From a pop-up restaurant and political cartoons to Brazilian beats, Artisphere will be filled with fresh, thought-provoking off-beat arts events presented by creative partners from across the DC-region throughout January 2012.
