This Island Earth
Sunday March 22nd, 2015 with PeterB
Music from all over the pan-galactic N-dimensional map! With a major focus on Brooklyn NYC's FANTASTIC world music scene. Even a brief trip to Saturn! What could go wrong?!

For today's adventure, we indeed go all over the pan-galactic musical map. Starting with some mellow raga. Then on to an extended visit to Brooklyn NYC's FANTASTIC world music scene, as presented by Barbès night club. And then just a pile of random gear shifting that seems to work ... well, mostly. Enjoy! And, please hit up the Interactive Thingy (on your right) to let us know what you think!

Featuring a visit to Brooklyn NY, and the FANTASTIC Barbès performance space! Barbès is a world / avant garde / just plain off-the-wall music hot-spot that just can't be beat, with at least two performances every day of the week, and a vast variety of musical genres, plus occasional spoken word and film too. They also have an in-house record label. Owned and operated by two passionate French musicians, and it really, really shows!

We saw several performances there in recent travels to NYC. Here's a selection.
