Live DC Area Events from March 21 to April 1

My updated DC/Baltimore area  soul, whirled, African, Latin, roots, Asian and more calendar for the end of March 2012. To get a monthly calendar emailed to you once a month, you can subscribe -send an e-mail to dcbworld-subscribe@yahoogroups.com    Just to be contrary, I only throw indie-rock gigs in at the bottom.
