International Bellows Battle: Uri Sharlin (accordion, US/Israel) & Dogcat
vs Mangey Khan (harmonium, India) & Barmer Boys

 Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments




Two live sets tonight spotlighting a couple of our favorite bellows instruments! Ace accordionist Uri Sharlin and Dogcat blend jazz and classical influences with Balkan rhythms, Arabic modes and Brazilian harmonies. Tonight's FMU session is the first half of Dogcat's Garden State spring awakening: Uri and band will perform at the Puffin Cultural Forum in Teaneck on Saturday evening May 3rd.

Plus: Harmonium-driven Rajasthani roots band the Barmer Boys made a big splash at home on MTV India's Coke Studio - the subcontinent's answer to MTV Unplugged. And now vocal powerhouse Mangey Khan and the Boys are raising eyebrows abroad, on their first US tour. The Barmer Boys' New York debut is this Thursday night (April 24th) at Drom in the East Village but their New Jersey debut will be right here on WFMU!

Massive thanks to our illustrious engineers, Gil Shuster (Barmer Boys) and Mark Koch (Uri Sharlin & Dogcat)!

Hi Rob!
I'm afraid i will fall asleep soon! (quarter past nmidnight here.)
Just want to say here again your show is awesome!

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INTRODUCING the mearvelous DVA TO US!
Will you get them back to some WFMU-session when tey are round NY coming may?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:33pm Guido from Cologne:

... i still have two boxes of bollywood-cassettes from the 90ies to work through ... some sheer brilliance coupled with the some of the most horrible kitsch. This will be some work ...
Avatar 6:37pm Whooda:

This is going to be good, if not different.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:43pm Rob W:

Good evening everyone, thanks for listening. And ah yes Guido, sounds like fun! I have a very high kitsch threshold, some of you may think too high! But I do know what you mean...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm Guido from Cologne:

Love the Barmer Boys.
Avatar 6:52pm Fredericks:

These Barmers cast a spell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm maestroso:

G'day Rob, tuning in late... The Book of Face keeps telling me I should check out Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (so does DJ Keili) so I'll have to listen to this show in archive...
Avatar 6:58pm Billy Jam:

loving the show Rob!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:00pm Rob W:

Ah Maestroso, so that's the other DJ who played Kyary Pamyu Pamyu on FMU! Makes sense now... I was pleasantly surprised to see her name auto-spell as I was writing my playlist so I didn't have to spell it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:00pm Rob W:

Thanks Billy Jam, Fredericks, Guido!
Avatar 7:00pm Whooda:

Another brilliantly engineered show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:02pm Rob W:

Thanks Whooda - Gil Shuster gets the credit for this one!
Avatar 7:06pm Whooda:

Listening to the live Barmer Boys with muted vintage Batman on TV with Liberace as guest victim. Haha
Avatar 7:08pm Whooda:

My mistake, I think Liberace is the guest *villian* It's hard to tell with Liberace and Robin seeming so friendly with each other.
Avatar 7:11pm Whooda:

Ok, should probably have the sound on the program to properly narrate. Actually Liberace is both the villain AND victim do to evil twin scenario. Batman got so complicated sometimes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:14pm Guido from Cologne:

The Barmer Boys kept me awake.
But i definitely have to go.
Will have the remainder "for breakfast".
CU!
:-)
Avatar 7:21pm Whooda:

Ok, now harem dancers in silk imitating Shiva, finally Batman and Barmer Boys end on the same note.
Avatar 7:22pm texas scott:

Whooda,thanks for the visual.
Avatar 7:26pm Whooda:

@texas scott now that I've heard Sufi influence paired with the accordion, I think I've heard everything.
  7:40pm Mr. Barry Gurdjieff II:

has anybody seen HPLDude888 lately?
Avatar 7:52pm Whooda:

Hello PPLDude888 where you been?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:04pm KK:

Good eve everyone and thanks Rob for arranging another great live show. Excellent guests tonight. Very cool to be able to hear Barmer Boys' US debut.
Avatar 🌍 Swag For Life Member 8:05pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I haven't seen comments from PPLDude888 for months. Same for RevolutionRabbitNov63. Coincidence?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:10pm Rob Weisberg:

Thanks KK!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:35pm mariano:

@Ken: you mean LovecraftDude? I was wondering that myself.
Avatar 8:40pm Whooda:

@mariano and Ken RevRabbit wrote that he had been censored to x-amount of comments per playlist, I thought he was joking until he disappeared immediately thereafter. Am thinking LCD ran afoul of the same heavy hammer of judgement.
Avatar 8:46pm thunderish' Jay:

besides birds, witch i got at any time outside my windows, thus the connection ... i really like washing machine noises - oh that grumpy bass farting in the kitchen .. WFMU! (not trying to be funny just unclouding some past airwaves bit of a sticky trend im gladly gone)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:47pm mariano:

@Whooda: hmm. I guess I'm out of the loop. Guess I should watch how much I comment!
Avatar 🌍 Swag For Life Member 8:57pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@Whooda - Thanks for the info. I wish those guys success in their future endeavors.
Avatar 8:58pm Whooda:

@Ken you know neither one of those guys could possibly stay away from FMU. They haven't gone anywhere.
Avatar 8:59pm Rectitude:

Cool show this week,,, thank¨s rob
Avatar 9:00pm Whooda:

Truly a classic DJ Rob Weisberg. Thanks again for expanding my horizons.
