June 20-28: Thievery Corporation Curate Concert Tour
May 21, 2008 12:39 PM
Thievery Corporation is
set to headline and curate the Outernational Music Tour, which comprises six
select live dates across the United States beginning June 20 in the Bay Area
and ending in their home town of Washington DC on June 28.
The Corp have invited an
array of like-minded musicians and friends to join them on tour: from the
Brazilian roots rhythms of Seu Jorge, Argentinean soul of Federico Aubele,
Venezuelan funk of Los Amigos Invisibles and the Brazilian bossa nova of
long-time Thievery Corporation collaborator Bebel Gilberto to the left-field
hip-hop, rock, and electro sounds of Gnarls Barkley, TV on the Radio and
Ladytron.
Reflecting the
Outernational Music Tour's global outlook, Thievery Corporation will be joined
at concerts by representatives of the UN World Food Program (WFP), for which
Thievery is a celebrity partner. They will be present at the shows to raise
awareness among concertgoers about WFP's fight against global hunger and the
catastrophic effects on the hungry poor of the global food crisis.
