M.A.K.U Sound System's cathartic sonic cocktail takes off from traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms and soars through the punk-psychedelic-electronic-jazz-Afrobeat stratosphere.

Mr. Weisberg!: Very impressed w/ you & Sinfonia @ Finale doing Malian tribute tune! - esp. as a(nother lousy) guitarplayer myself clueless about African styles.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:08pm Rob Weisberg:

Thank you kindly RR and good evening everyone, stay tuned for a great live set by MAKU Sound System!

Greetings doca!

Great Music. Can we hear Gaida's Bint Elbalad off Levantine Indulgence. We just saw her at Lincoln Center on Thursday and she was spellbinding.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Nice to hear oud (yes?).
- When lived in Santa Barabara, CA - was a Turkish (style) band - prob. associated w/ UCSB - occasionally played local bookstore for instance - w/ bellydancers! - totally free...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:35pm Rob Weisberg:

Steve, glad to hear you enjoyed Gaida's show this week. I shoulda been there myself, she's great... and sure, I can play that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:46pm fred:

Hello Rob, I can't listen because it's too late for my neighbors, but I'm just back from a show you might have liked. Two words: Iranian bagpipes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...No Turkish in there - but sounded quite similar?
...Your objective in First Hours to Adjust our Attitude by exhiliration of flight all over the Globe? : ) ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm Rob Weisberg:

Oh yes Fred, you have me pegged! I did get to see Iranian piper Saeid Shanbehzadeh and his son in NY a few years ago when they played Globalfest 2009 (they've been back since then too). It was pretty great...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm fred:

That's exactly who I just saw! Funny how close it sounded to the synth in Omar Souleyman's dabke
Avatar 6:56pm I X Key!:

Rob Weisberg, that performance of yours during the marathon finale was so beautiful it made me cry, & I'm looking forward to getting your premium again this year
  6:56pm Steve Po:

Hey Rob, Thanks for putting that up so quick. You have to make a retraction, though. Bint Elbalad is an original Gaida composition. The Mohammad Abdel Wahab song shares nothing in common, but the title. http://youtu.be/mgZBRjgfF3Y - But check this out, she just did a song called Anfass which was inspired by Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind. She did it at Lincoln Center. It's on iTunes under Anfass and there's a video on YouTube. http://youtu.be/dKlO6I9cDko
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

A bit of a Digression!, but - on subject of synth drone :

...You would think an electronically distorted Guitar would make a more complex-shaped Sound/Sine Wave - but it actually makes a more regular one by chopping off the top & bottom ; The only instruments that make 'perfect' regular waves w/ no overtones or such are electronic synths - & flutes! (...or that's the received information, anyway)...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm Rob Weisberg:

OK thanks Steve, I stand corrected! I'll check out Anfass later... thanks again!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:01pm Rob Weisberg:

Oh and thank you very much I X Key!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...The Malian situation saddens me for one reason because Sufism (Esoteric Mystical Islam) had some influence on my own views as a young 'post-psychedelic' person, shall we say.
- The book 'Dancing in the Streets' by Barbara Ehrenreich is about the History & Meaning of Communal Festival - & touches on how a Conservative & Militant Islam took over - comparable in some ways to what happened to Christianity in the 'West' w/ Calvinism & such...
Avatar 7:15pm Pete from Boston (and NJ):

I am thoroughly loving this set. All that's missing is a warm day and spits of kebab.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...always risky to discuss Politrix & Religion - &/or to give a 'Twitter' summary of a Pocket History - but I certainly liked the book - !...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- & on subject of Sufis - we start w/ 'Dervish Dance'. : )
Avatar 7:37pm Dave B:

just wanted to check in and say thanks and congrats to Mr. W/WFMU for all you do.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

RR - Dervish Dance was by Mavrika, a very interesting new Greek / Cypriot band based in the UK.

Thanks also Pete from Boston and NJ! Two fine places indeed...

Just scrolling back thru the comments - @Fred and RW - if you're not familiar with Rastak (contemporary Iranian folk stuffs) check it....

youtubes: www.youtube.com...

direct link for D/Ls (in Farsi): rastak.ir...

I'm waiting for my cousins to provide translations....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:53pm Rob Weisberg:

Thanks Dave B., I'll check out Rastak!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Sounds Great ! + + : )

...I am thinking about Os Mutantes~Caetano Veloso - Fela Kuti...This whole idea of Psychedelic AfroBeat makes me smile : )
- even as it makes me think of Phil Ochs noting how we ping-pong (paraphrase) from Activism to Mysticism 'these days'...

- This Performance blows on the warm embers of the Marathon Finale (a Communal Festival - *&* an SocioEconoPolitical Event - however small), it seems to me
- & helps herald Spring
- even in the Year of the Snake...
Avatar 7:58pm Dave B:

BTW - M.A.K.U. is just what I needed this Saturday. But then I'm partial to any troupe with "sound system" in their name!
