February 10, 2024: Lunar New Year + Justin Adams and Mauro Durante Giveaway
TICKET GIVEAWAY: We have two pairs of tickets to see Justin Adams and Mauro Durante at Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker St. in Manhattan, Thursday night at 8 in a concert presented by the World Music Institute. To enter the drawing for the tickets, send an email here with TIX in the subject line, and I'll let you know this afternoon if you're a winner.
Justin Adams is a guitarist, producer, and composer who has worked with the likes of Robert Plant in the Sensational Space Shifters, Jah Wobble, and Sinead O’Connor. Adams has also produced luminaries such as Malian group Tinariwen, Gambia’s Juldeh Camara, and, most recently, Puglian ensemble CGS (Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino). His own personal projects have received critical acclaim as well. Ribbons, Adams’ solo guitar record, was cited by Songlines Magazine among the top 50 albums of the past decade.
This latest collaboration with Mauro Durante, composer and bandleader of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, stems from a concert led by Ludovico Einaudi, the legendary Notte de Taranta in Puglia, where the two first played together. Adams and Durante’s most recent musical effort Still Moving was recorded straight to tape with no overdubs. The record effortlessly weaves through love songs of southern Italy and rasping blues from North Africa and North America. WMI is excited to present this long-time, collaborative duo in an intimate setting. - World Music Institute

Leenalchi, a band named after a famous singer in 19th-century Korea, re-tells this epic in a recently released album, Sugungga, using a fascinating mix of sounds that some glorify as "the real" K-pop. - NPR | 0:18:52 (Pop-up) | |
