TICKET GIVEAWAYS: We have one pair of tickets to see the Yemeni-rooted band El Khat at National Sawdust, 80 North 6th Street in Brooklyn, TONIGHT at 7:30 in a concert presented by the World Music Institute. To enter the drawing for the tickets, send an email here with TIX in the subject line, let me know which show you're interested in (El Khat or Mexico Now) and I'll let you know this afternoon if you're a winner.

Rough-hewn and exhilarating, EL Khat’s second album “Albat Alawi Op.99” is a deep dive into leader Eyal el Wahab’s Yemenite roots and their inspired re-imaginings. A careening orchestra of percussion, horns, strings, electricity and el Wahab’s own DIY instruments. Mesmerizing retro-futurist sounds.

El Khat. Named for the drug used so widely chewed across the Middle East, the band’s music is certainly addictive, more so with each outing. Their second album, Albat Alawi Op.99, is a disc full of joys, where the melodies unfold one after the other, involving and catchy. - Glitterbeat.

I also have two pairs of tickets to the 20th anniversary Mexico Now showcase featuring Shift + Echoes In Proximity + Ampersan @ Le Poisson Rouge. 158 Bleecker St. (also produced by World Music Institute on Tuesday night at 7. To enter the drawing for the tickets, send an email here with TIX in the subject line, let me know which show you're interested in (Mexico Now or El Khat), and I'll let you know this afternoon if you're a winner.

From the presenters: In celebration of the 20th edition of Mexico Now, WMI co-presents an eclectic showcase that features world-class, multi-award-winning musicians whose unique ensemble sounds are inspired by Mexican traditions, each putting their own, innovative stamp on those traditions. Ampersan combines Mexican folklore and poetry with electronic elements, resulting in a hybrid-crossover approach to connecting Mexican soundscapes with more modern sonic ideas. Echoes in Proximity, is a recent project by Carlo Nicolau and Juan Cristóbal Perez Grobet, delivering an experimental ambient-jazz approach with prominent bass, violin, piano, and drum arrangements. Additionally, the project SHIFT – Antonio Sánchez & Bad Hombre with Thana Alexa, BIGYUKI & Lex Sadler explores and deconstructs language and voice as a source of rhythm, generating an innovative and unique sound.
