Read More From just looking at her short nine national dates, I was happy to see Céu (pronounced "say-you" by the announcer) had chosen to stop by Minneapolis at the Dakota Jazz Club to play her Brazilian jazzy, samba music.

I had this great Brazilian post idea in my head that was meant to go up over the weekend - but you know how it is. Anyway, instead, this are just a couple of "World Music" items for you.

CEU

I'm excited to let you know that Ceu is coming back to Minneapolis to play two nights at the Dakota Jazz Club. You know the legend, I once spent $76 on dinner at the Dakota restaurant. It is fantastic food, but for those on budget - I suggest getting a giant basket of fries (with dipping sauce) and a beer on tap, this should set you back about $12.
I don't know if Ceu has a new album out, but she seems to be all over the place: on various Putayamo compilations and, recently, on Herbie Hancock's last album, The Imagine Project.
She is doing a number of limited US and Brazil appearances this Summer, so if you're interested, here are the dates I've seen:
DELHI 2 DUBLIN

Delhi 2 Dublin, aka D2D, looks like quite an interesting bunch of people. They are a world music band from Canada, fusing Bhangra/Hindi sound and Celtic music together, hence "Delhi, India to Dublin, Ireland", but what struck me is their influence of Asian Dub Foundation (ADF), a band that had more in common with Rage Against the Machine and basically more hardcore than "world music", you know? I can kind of see it because ADF are Asians (Indians to Americans) and they are very political.
I guess I'll find out when I see them when they come around to Minneapolis at the Cedar Cultural Center (fast becoming my favorite venue) on May 1st (the same night as Hunx and His Punx).
They are currently on tour to promote their latest album, Planet Electric, released March 1st. I have not had a chance to preview the album, but the free song "S.O.S." is pretty good. Should be fun to see how they manage to play that song live.
