July 1, 2023: Falsa's Sufi Sounds
Falsa’s foundation is in 14th century Sufi mysticism - reimagined through the improvisational energy of modern New York. Or as the band puts it on their web page:
"Anchored in the mystic traditions of 14th-century Sufi music—akin to the elevating poetry of Rumi—the group serves up an eclectic blend of minimalist meditation, raga jazz fusion, high-energy world improvisation, and immersive ritual-communitas performances featuring dancers and captivating visuals. But at its heart, Falsa is dedicated to normalizing the transcendent experience through music."
Listen to this show:
Pop-up player!
Falsa has a debut album out, American Sufi, and they'll do their thing live at Little Island July 5th, 12th and 13th (all free) and Riverside Park South (also free) July 9th, as well as at Buunni Coffee, Inwood July 21st and Barbès in Park Slope July 29th. Hear them first, right here on WFMU!

Interview, yeah. I'm trying to research stuff to impress. a former grad classmate/coworker is working on the same project. Hopefully, my two-year gap in GIS employment won't work against me.

I'm in a middle of a plan of getting out here, the easiest way forward to get this job, but, other friends have offered me other options to get out of this cthulhlu-foresaken state (apologies to the floridians out there)
the above said, i'm enjoying a montelobos anejo, sipping and savoring it slowly while I read about 60s egyptian psyche rock, contemporary punk hiphop, and barre phillips...
