ALGERIA US JAZZ DIPLOMACY
A crowd gathers to watch an open-air screen showing a jazz concert by Minneapolis Bluesman Bernard Allison in the old theater in Constantine, Algeria, on Thursday, 21 May, 2009, during the Dimajazz festival. The concert is partly funded by the U.S. embassy in this north African country, and is one of many cultural events sponsored by the United States across the Arab world as President Barack Obama's administration reaches out to the "hearts and minds" of people often wary American policies.
