Help keep Barbès alive - it’s a Brooklyn cultural gem!


Donate to the Barbès crowd funding campaign (and get some musical treats, and concert tickets, in exchange for your support) at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/barbes-needs-help

Barbès is a small Brooklyn club which has been presenting music on a daily basis for 15 years. Started on a shoestring budget in a former barber shop in the South Slope, Barbès has for years acted as a kind of laboratory for all different kinds of new projects and become a true community hub. Transpacific Sound Paradise has proudly broadcast some 25 live music shows from Barbès and we hope to do lots more in the future.

But changing demographics and a new economic reality are now threatening Barbès. Today Barbès owes a total of $70,000 - 20,000 to be repaid before July 1st.

You can support Barbès in two ways:

Again, you can donate to the Barbès crowd funding campaign at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/barbes-needs-help

And / or: Come to Drom, 85 Ave A on Friday June 9th for a Benefit for Barbès featuring a cross-section of the types of artists central to Barbès, including: Innov Gnawa, Bulla en el Barrio, Big Lazy, Maracatu NY and first-time ever brass band supergroup Fanfare Barbes + DJs.

Get tickets to the benefit here - or if you donate to the crowd funding campaign at a high enough level, one or more tickets may be included.

Hi Rob! Finally caught the show from the beginning. Donated to the Barbès campaign.
@Bronwyn Bishop: salmon and kale sounds delicious. Meself, I have a bunch of ramps from the farmer's market that I'm debating how to prepare...

Thanks Grace and thanks Ike for the Georgian bakery tip, didn't know of this place! There are also a few Georgian bakeries and at least one restaurant in Brighton Beach - combine a little fun in the sun with a little khachapuri!

I love Russia because they stand against globalization. Any progressive who thinks a nuclear war against Russia to be a good thing has drunk sooo much Kool aid that judgement is impaired

Thanks, Rob and assistants​. Looking forward to the next show from Barbès.
Avatar 🌍 Swag For Life Member 8:56pm Bas NL:

Thanks Rob and all at Barbès for a great evening! And happy travels for the coming weeks Rob!
