Arki Sound is a NYC-based outfit inspired by the Golden Age of popular music in Ethiopia - the 1960s to early 1970s. Arki follows this evening's live FMU debut with a show at Silvana in Harlem a week from tonight, Saturday April 26th.
Plus, we travel to Delhi to meet Ashutosh Sharma and Ravneet Kler, two of the four pals who run indie label Amarrass Records. The Amarrass mission is to spread the traditional desert sounds of Rajasthan around the world. One of the label's hottest properties is the Barmer Boys, whose first US tour includes a show at Drom in the East Village on Thursday April 24th. (Note: This segment was rescheduled from April 12th.)

really interesting and a little scary how easy it is for individual talent or even whole styles of music to disappear if not preserved.

Wow, Jay, that's a GREAT lineup for the FMM festival in Portugal! Including, I see, a Rajasthan folk artist as well as Jaipur Kawa band, who play brass band misoc from northern India.
