Upcoming events:

Saturday, November 7th, 6pm - 9pm: Yale Evelev - Luaka Bop turns 21

Luaka Bop is thought of as David Byrne's label but an equally or perhaps more powerful force behind the operation is his partner Yale Evelev.  Yale has dedicated his life to exploring music off-the-beaten path and getting it out there on disc.  (Prior to joining Luaka he was also involved for some years with the avant-garde-y New Music Distribution Service, a great friend to adventurous college freeform DJs of the 1980s.)  Luaka has finally reached drinking age and where better to celebrate than in swinging Jersey City?  Yale comes by to play and talk about some favorite releases from years gone by, and new things as well.  

Saturday, November 14th, 6pm - 9pm: Ken Braun of Sterns Music on the great final years of Congolese legend Franco

Sterns Music, the venerable purveyor of African music has just released a beautifully packaged and well-documented 2-CD set of music from Congolese musical legend Franco's illustrious final years (the 1980s).  Nobody knows Congolese music better than Stern's stateside rep Ken Braun.  Ken will join us to give background and play the music.  He'll also explore some of Stern's recent releases of vintage West African music from the Syliphone label archives.
