Hot on the heels of our first PRS (Pacific Rhythm Session) of 2015 we’re hosting another one back 2 back because we know you love dancing as much as we do.
Our friend Brian Shimkovitz, better known as Awesome Tapes From Africa, will be venturing back to the Canadian Riviera from Los Angeles to kick it for the weekend and share some incredibly rare and beautiful music with us.
If you aren’t familiar with Awesome Tapes from Africa here’s a bit of backstory:
A true ethnomusicologist, Brian started the Awesome Tapes From Africa blog in 2006 to encourage outsiders’ appreciation of the breadth of musical subcultures in Africa which he discovered whilst travelling there.
Brian has played an important role in promoting access to African music outside the continent. The ATFA blog acts as a constant source of inspiration, providing undiscovered gems which are offered on the site as free downloads.
In 2011 ATFA developed into a critically acclaimed vinyl label, re-releasing records by African artists such as Bola, Dur-Dur Band, Hailu Mergia and just this week Penny Penny. The label plays an essential role in furthering Brian’s mission to build an international audience for African music through touring and re-issues.
Drawing on his vast African cassette archive his role now combines that of educator, promoter and selector, finding him DJ across the world at festivals, clubs, museums and cultural spaces. HIs DJ sets on twin tape decks explore deep, regional sounds using analog-anchored agility not heard/seen anywhere else.
