SUMMARY:Showbox Presents: Good People Live: Majid Jordan with Alex Lustig [Portland]
DESCRIPTION:At the start of their music journey\, singer Majid Al-Maskati and producer Jordan Ullman united their talents to form a partnership that is now globally known as Majid Jordan. The R&B duo blessed dance aficionados everywhere following the release of their debut EP Afterhours\, catching the attention of Noah “40” Shebiband and signing to OVO Sound. From working with Drake to co-producing and writing the 2013 6x-platinum smash hit “Hold On We’re Going Home\,” and a number of successful hits\, Majid Jordan have continuously evolved their sound over the years to create a subgenre that is uniquely their own. Majid Jordan also appeared as fictional popstars\, the Halal Brothers\, in season 3 of Hulu’s critically acclaimed series\, Ramy. Gearing up for their highly-anticipated return\, the boys are back and ready to explode onto the music scene. It’s been a decade since their first work Afterhours was produced\, and this new music aims to pay homage to the beginning of their musical journey\, when they originally went by the name “Good People.” Reminiscence is a prominent theme in their most recent development as they aim to remain true to their origins\, while they continue to create music that feels and sounds good.

SUMMARY:Musician Ibrahim Maalouf
DESCRIPTION:The buzz surrounding Ibrahim Maalouf’s set at last year’s London Jazz Festival marked the emergence of ‘a startling new voice in contemporary jazz’ (The Guardian). A year later\, the trumpeter/composer returns to the inspiration of the super-cool jazz of the 50s first explored in his 2012 album Wind\, with the tonalities of Middle Eastern music adding a sublime and trance-like atmosphere.

SUMMARY:Seffarine
DESCRIPTION:“gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco\, Arabic and Andalusian music\, Persian classical\, and jazz” -Bass Player Magazine\n\nThe sounds that stir the dry winds of Southern Spain and Morocco\, two countries separated by only a whisper of the Mediterranean\, are the musical DNA of a beautifully complex extended family linking North Africa and Europe.\n\nThe musicians of Seffarine\, soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp\, supported by master musicians of diverse cultures\, embrace and extend this rich legacy. Their exciting performances masterfully combine explosive flamenco footwork\, exotic instrumentation and grooving basslines. These diverse backgrounds meld\, creating what SoundRoots describes as “an ear-caressing blend of sounds from Spain and North Africa\, spiced with a bit of fiery instrumentation and percussion.”\n\n“Seffarine’s music can melt the coldest hearts” -Chicago Reader

DESCRIPTION:At a momentous first meeting at a coffee shop in Fez\, Moroccan vocalist Lamiae Naki and multi-instrumentalist Nat Hulskamp composed their first song and decided to get married. Brought together by their deep knowledge of the music of both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar — Spanish flamenco and Moroccan Arabic music — they created Seffarine. \nSeffarine takes its name from the ancient metalworking square in Fez\, which is famous for the complex rhythms that ring out from the blacksmiths’ hammers\, and where Lamiae’s family is well known as masters of the tradition. Seffarine‘s music embraces and extends Morocco’s musical collision between Arabic\, Iberian and West African cultures\, forging vibrant original music deeply rooted in their backgrounds in flamenco guitar\, oud and Arab Andalusian music. Nat and Lamiae built an international quintet bringing in all star musicians from Iran\, the US and Spain\, who infuse the sound with textured instrumentation and inspired improvisation. Sweeping kamancheh (Persian spike-fiddle) ornamentation plays off gritty bass grooves and explosive flamenco footwork\, with Lamiae’s fluidly riveting voice at the center\, sending up sheets of cascading Andalusi melodies punctuated by the catchy hooks of North African Chaabi\, sung in her native Moroccan Arabic. Their sound has taken them around the world\, from touring Indonesia and Europe to receiving grants to study Ottoman singing in Turkey\, to recording with top flamenco musicians in Spain such as Diego del Morao and Latin Grammy Award winner Antonio Rey.

SUMMARY:Bombino w/ Publish the Quest and other guests at Nectar Lounge
DESCRIPTION:Four thousand years of living in a hostile environment taught the Tuareg that the will to survive with dignity intact is stronger than any external threat.  Bombino puts that sentiment to music\, writes its anthem\, and gives it a life of its own. He is known as being emblematic of the next generation of Tuareg\, a new voice of the Sahara and Sahel\, fusing traditional Berber rhythms with the energy of rock and roll and songs about peace. After years of drought\, rebellion\, and tyranny\, Bombino extols his audience to remember who they are\, but also realize who they can be. \n— \nBombino’s life and travels have exposed him to the problems facing his people. He has taken on the mission of helping the Tuareg community achieve equal rights\, peace\, maintain their rich cultural heritage and promote education. He is an advocate for teaching children the Tuareg language of Tamasheq\, the local Haoussa language as well as French and Arabic\, all of which he speaks fluently.  “We fought for our rights\,” remarks Bombino\, “but we have seen that guns are not the solution. We need to change our system. Our children must go to school and learn about their Tuareg identity.”

SUMMARY:Mitchum Yacoub and the Brass Empire
DESCRIPTION:Mitchum Yacoub an Egyptian-American multi-instrumentalist\, producer\, and DJ based out of\nSan Diego\, CA. As a lifelong drummer that has supported many projects in the vein of Afrobeat\,\nSoul\, Funk\, and Reggae\, he’s been slow-brewing a unique feel for roots and dance music.\nInspired by artists like Fela Kuti\, Dr. Dre\, and James Brown\, his music harkens back to Africa in\nthe 70’s with the bass and drums turned up a notch. Strong\, repetitive grooves layered with\nAfro-Latin percussion and vibrant\, tightly executed horn lines that call all dancers to the floor.\nSince beginning his first live performances in late 2019\, Yacoub has played alongside roots\nmusic heavies like The Wailers\, Antibalas\, Jungle Fire\, and Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto. In\n2022\, his group supported Seun Kuti for six shows across the U.S.\, while he traded on\npercussion and drum kit for Kuti’s band: Egypt 80 (formerly of Fela Kuti). The experience trained\nhim well in the rhythmic strength of the music and earned him and his band a place in the global\nscene of Afrobeat. Originality\, musicianship\, and a massive sound are three marks keeping\nYacoub’s band on the road and a fast-growing festival favorite. The highly acclaimed release of\nhis debut album\, “Living High in the Brass Empire”\, (2023 All-Town Sound) brings the\nexperience home as a showcase in his unique approach to roots music; forming explosive\nintersections of Afrobeat\, Cumbia\, and Soul that will lift you from your seat and leave you\nwanting more

SUMMARY:Seffarine at Oregon Shakespeare Festival
DESCRIPTION:“gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco\, Arabic and Andalusian music\, Persian classical\, and jazz” -Bass Player Magazine\n\nThe sounds that stir the dry winds of Southern Spain and Morocco\, two countries separated by only a whisper of the Mediterranean\, are the musical DNA of a beautifully complex extended family linking North Africa and Europe.\n\nThe musicians of Seffarine\, soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp\, supported by master musicians of diverse cultures\, embrace and extend this rich legacy. Their exciting performances masterfully combine explosive flamenco footwork\, exotic instrumentation and grooving basslines. These diverse backgrounds meld\, creating what SoundRoots describes as “an ear-caressing blend of sounds from Spain and North Africa\, spiced with a bit of fiery instrumentation and percussion.”\n\n“Seffarine’s music can melt the coldest hearts” -Chicago Reader

SUMMARY:Tinariwen at the Showbox
DESCRIPTION:The tale of Tinariwen begins with the story of its founding father\, Ibrahim Ag Alhabib. The son of a Tuareg rebel\, at the age of four Ibrahim witnessed his father’s execution at the hands of the government during the 1963 uprising in Mali. \nGrowing up in between the deserts and refugee camps of Algeria\, Ibrahim was regarded as a wanderer and a loner – he was nicknamed ‘Abaraybone’\, meaning ‘ragamuffin child’. One day\, he remembers\, he was watching a western at a makeshift desert cinema and was struck by a scene in which a cowboy plays a song on a guitar. Inspired\, he built his first guitar using an oil can\, a stick and a bicycle brake wire. He started to learn to play\, practising old Tuareg melodies\, modern Arabic pop tunes and the Malian blues music of Ali Farka Touré.
