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!
