  Swan Lake Samba Girl — Authority: 132
  All photos by Monique Carboni. If you’re in NY or are coming here at all for the holidays, definitely do not miss FELA! It’s honestly one of the best musicals — if not the best — I’ve ever seen (and I don’t often like musicals!) It’s a very “real” musical in that it takes place in a ...

  Rebel Frequencies — Authority: 120
  Below is a review by Ben Brantley of The New York Times of the musical "Fela!" now playing in New York.

Of note is the fact that the musicals ...

  SoundRoots World Music & Global Culture — Authority: 119
  CD REVIEW Fela Kuti: The Best of the Black President (Knitting Factory) Forget the flavor-of-the-month pop stars; the biggest name in global music, the biggest enduring name with lasting impact, may well be the sax-playing son of a Nigerian feminist and a Protestant minister. Fela Anikulapo Kuti, or simply ...

  motel de moka — Authority: 478
  “Matter thus offers an infinitely porous, spongy, or cavernous texture without emptiness, caverns endlessly contained contained in other caverns: no matter how small, each body contains a world of pierced with irregular passages, surrounded and penetrated by an increasingly vaporous fluid, the totality of the ...

  t5m: Love Personality, Love t5m — Authority: 517
  Hyde Park’s Wireless Festival, 2008: not the most vibrantly countercultural happening of the summer. That would be Glastonbury, or the July general meeting of Heckmondwike Women’s Institute. On the main stage, Deadmau5 manfully attempts to rouse a chilled Saturday evening crowd politely awaiting the arrival of ...

• Relatively Freaky 04

  
  radiomagnetic.com — Authority: 138
  A relatively freaky tricky treaty for you with this installment. The fourth and by far the strangest mix to date. As ever, the most pleasing old and new music heard in recent weeks feature; frequently with a relatively ugly undercurrent of terror-stricken torment. In keeping with the oft-overlooked notion of good ...

  SoundRoots World Music & Global Culture — Authority: 119
  CD REVIEW Cacique97: Cacique97 (Footmovin Records) The Iberian Peninsula has long been an area of shifting, merging culture, in large part because of its position as a gateway to Africa and the Ottoman world. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the latest Afrobeat troupe to emerge comes from Lisbon, ...
