hooray it is not pouring today!
SUBLIME FREQUENCIES is one of my favorite labels that's started up in the last decade -- they do brilliant CDs and DVDs of neglected world musics, often focusing on contemporary/ pop kinds of music which the academics flee from so it's an awesome service, you know? I wrote a bit about it in this piece: http://www.seattleweekly.com/music/0415/040414_music_suncitygirls.php
But the reason I post about their jams here in the bloggy blog is that Scott from (the awesome) Exiled Records in Portland has arranged a showing of two brand-new films by the Sublime crew this Wednesday at the Clinton Street Theatre -- it wil RULE:
MUSICAL BROTHERHOODS FROM THE TRANS-SAHARAN HIGHWAY
A Film by Hisham Mayet (57 Minutes)
An assortment of spectacular musical dramas presented live and unfiltered on the home turf of the world's most dynamic string/drum specialists performing and manifesting the ecstatic truth! Ancient mystical brotherhoods have been flourishing for centuries in and around the cities of Marrakesh and Essaouira in Morocco where the trade caravans have gathered from their long journeys across the Trans-Saharan Highway. This is some of the last great street music on Earth.
SUMATRAN FOLK CINEMA
A Film by Mark Gergis & Alan Bishop (60 minutes)
A psychedelic collage of images and sounds from the heart and soul of Sumatran culture. Witness classic Dangdut rock music, street and country scenes, Pop culture, raw TV excerpts, Minang Orchestras, night markets, folk music, and much more wrapped in a 60-minute kaleidoscope complete with an epic soundtrack. Filmed in and around Medan, Padang, Bukitinggi and beyond with some of the most amazing pre-tsunami footage ever captured from Aceh province.
