thanks for the revive, I have not been keeping up with this label at all and that link sounds fantastic

20th anniversary Sublime Frequencies gig in Queens NY October 18 with Baba Commandant band from Burkina Faso and Dwarfs of East Agouza ( Egypt based ) . Both Sublime F founders Bishop and Hayet will be there

Dwarfs of East Agouza are so good, but I raved about BabaC live show on the AfroPop thread, what a killer lineup. Paul Major DJing as well!

I have mentioned Baba on global whirled African bands and more thread. Gonna see Dwarfs of East Agouza tomorrow night

Would have loved to see Baba Commandant, just finally picked up their most recent album and absolutely loving it.

Because US promoter of Baba C tour in US is Washington DC based they have done a bunch of gigs locally including free ones at a park and one at lunchtime at a library

Saw the Dwarfs of East Agouza last night. Good Egypt meets motorik meets Velvets groove at times. But also distorted vocals, falsetto ones & some improv noisy sax solos.

Alan has also done solo gigs on this tour, and has solo albums out. I haven’t heard him solo live or recorded yet.

Found out that the Bishop brothers are related to Washington DC rockabilly and honkytonk guitarist Ratso who has played with Kinky Friedman and Tex Rubinowitz.

What type of venue did you see Dwarfs of East Agouza? I saw them in a kind of stale setting in Europe this spring and it didn’t seem quite right.

I saw them in a former car repair shop looking place, where you had to enter in from a hard to find entrance in back in an area of Baltimore with warehouses and just a liquor store nearby selling single cheap beers. The crowd was standing and some dancing and enthusiastic. Maybe some were there to see the members of Animal Collective (Deakin & Geologist) who opened, but they mostly stuck around for Dwarfs. Plus since Baltimore gets less events than DC, I think that helped draw more people too. Ian Nagoski who runs Canary Records was there, Tonal Park Studio in Takoma , MD guy too
