Luaka Bop - the visionary record label that introduced many of us to Brazilian Tropicalia, alt.latin music, South Indian soundtrack music, Okinawan roots rock and lots more - is often thought of as David Byrne's label. But an even more powerful force behind the operation is Byrne's partner Yale Evelev.
Yale has dedicated his life to exploring music off-the-beaten path and bringing it to larger audiences. Prior to joining Luaka he spent several years with the avant-garde-y New Music Distribution Service - a great friend to adventurous college freeform DJs of the 1980. He also ran his own adventurous label, Icon, and produced the New Music America festival's memorable New York manifestation in 1989.
Luaka has finally reached drinking age and where better to celebrate than in swinging Jersey City? Yale comes by to play and talk about some favorite releases from years gone by, and new things as well.
