Show Description
Music journalist/DJ Derek Beres has spent the last 3 1/2 years canvassing the world in search of the best traditional and electronic soundforms. In Global Beat Fusion: The History of the Future of Music (OTB Publishing) he traces the emerging scene of global electronica by tracing the mythological and ritualistic uses of music from ancient societies through modern club culture. The book features candid interviews with Bill Laswell, Cheb i Sabbah, Krishna Das, Ojos de Brujo, Mercan Dede, Boban Markovic, Zakir Hussain, Warsaw Village Band and many more. Tonight, Beres will be joined by some of New York City's most innovative artists drawing from their cultural foundations to create tomorrow's music today. "Derek Beres is part reporter and part prophet standing in the middle of the eye of the World Music storm that is raining new musical genres on the Earth today, each one fused by the love of song and spirit." - Krishna Das, kirtan artist www.globalbeatfusion.com | www.haale.com | www.pharaohsdaughter.com

Haale / The Mast Staff Pick
In response to The Mast/ Haale - Report this Comment
"It’s been too long since I got my last Haale fix. She gets such a great groove going in the room, and I often find myself getting lost in the psych-rock-meets-Persian-trance atmosphere that she and her band conjure up. When Haale plays at Joe’s, it’s also a great time to really appreciate the room itself – the combination of the music and the way the lights hit the Pub stage really transport you to an ethereal and dynamic headspace." - Jo Lampert (Artist Liason)
