SUMMARY:Pre PWLF Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:We are always looking for ways to get more folks involved and more ways to create spaces for community to come together. \nIn that vein\, join us at @hometeam_gallery on 9/6 from 4-7.

We are hoping to have more at the festival but not guaranteed.\nShirts are $45 with all proceeds going to the festival beneficiaries. \nCome support community and let community support you. See you there. \nShout to the @h.o.m.e.t.e.a.m squad for providing the space. 🙏🏽 \nPalestine Will Live Forever\nAll of Us or None of Us

SUMMARY:Seffarine  - Moroccan Flamenco Fusion Live at The Firehouse Bellingham\, WA
DESCRIPTION:“Seffarine’s music can melt the coldest hearts” -Chicago Reader \nAt 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.

SUMMARY:Samia at the Neptune Theater
DESCRIPTION:Bovine excision\, a mysterious phenomenon involving the bloodless surgical removal of cattle organs\, serves as the eerie inspiration for the opening track of Samia’s third album\, aptly titled Bloodless. Her voice flows through the evocative lyrics with ease\, weaving through the gentle strum of a lone acoustic guitar. The quiet intimacy builds into a storm of sound\, culminating in Samia’s layered\, ethereal harmonies that pierce with a haunting\, macabre refrain: “And drained\, drained bloodless.” \nThese emptied cattle evoke a grotesque vessel she unwittingly nurtured in an attempt to embody something both untouchable and on display\, overflowing with infinite projections and capable of driving an unrelenting pursuit of the unattainable. Through sharp images—Diet Dr. Pepper and Raymond Carver as parallel pursuits of minimalism\, white underwear and leeches\, a Degas dancer poised at the bannister—Samia examines a paradoxical existence where merit transforms into a calculated act of extraction (“I felt the pea\, can I eat it?”). This is just one strand Samia weaves into the intricate tapestry of Bloodless. \nRich with layers that shift seamlessly from sparse folk to sweeping indie-pop epics\, Bloodless explores Samia’s relationship with a fragmented\, symbolic version of Men—a patchwork of expectations and imagined standards she tried to meet\, which ultimately shaped her sense of self. “I’ve spent the past two decades unintentionally conflating men with my understanding of God\,” Samia explains. “The person I became in order to impress this imagined figure is inseparable from who I am today. With this album\, I’ve tried to confront that head-on.” \nWritten & produced in both North Carolina and her new home of Minneapolis throughout 2024\, Bloodless finds Samia reuniting with longtime-collaborator Caleb Wright and Jake Luppen for the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2023’s revered Honey\, which followed Samia’s 2020’s breakthrough debut The Baby. Across these thirteen songs\, Samia grapples with the hollow form she once embodied — a vessel that gained value through its own absence\, until playing dead became its own form of life. With Bloodless\, she endeavors to disinter the self buried beneath these carefully constructed personas\, ultimately reaching a place of acceptance for her whole\, imperfect being.

SUMMARY:Seffarine (in Vancouver)
DESCRIPTION:The 35th Edition of the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival\, co-presented with Caravan World Rhythms\, proudly presents: \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. \nBorn in the ancient city of Fes\, Morocco\, internationally acclaimed singer Lamiae Naki and her ensemble Seffarine channel their deep knowledge of the music of both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar\, the crossroad where African\, Middle Eastern and European cultures meet. \nThe musicians of Seffarine\, soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp\, supported by master musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds\, embrace and expand this rich musical legacy. Their dynamic performances seamlessly blend Moroccan and Arabic Andalusian music. 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.” \nTheir sound reflects Lamiae’s deep roots in Arabic Andalusian traditions (dating back to pre-Inquisition Moorish Spain and preserved in her native Morocco) and Nat’s background in flamenco guitar and Arabic oud. They are joined by Spanish flamenco dancer Manuel Gutierrez\, known for his explosive flamenco footwork; Cuban born flamenco bassist Yosmel Montejo\, whose grooving basslines drive the rhythm; and Persian multi-instrumentalist Bobak Salehi\, who brings delicate kamancheh ornamentation to the ensemble. \nTheir 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:Film "Half Moon" at Vancouver Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The act of artistic creation can feel inadequate when trying to convey the tragedy of war\, but for clarinettist and composer Kinan Azmeh\, music is a way to bear that grief and break down the boundaries of emotional and cultural expression. A witness to lives lost and displaced in his home country of Syria\, Azmeh questions what role he can play as an artist and musician in a face of global conflicts and violence. \nFrank Scheffer’s introspective documentary follows Azmeh on his travels to New York\, Amsterdam\, and Palestine\, where the artist’s soulful music and collaborative performances enrapture audiences through outpourings of emotional urgency. Half Moon: Kinan Azmeh is a profound and celebratory meditation on art’s ability to inspire different cultures and reshape solidarity\, community\, and hope in the world\, even in dark times.

SUMMARY:Fest: Kinan Azmeh
DESCRIPTION:Yaniv Attar Conductor\nKinan Azmeh Clarinet \nStrauss Jr\, Tales from the Vienna Woods\nSchubert\, Symphony No. 2\nJacobsen/Aghaei\, Ascending Bird\nKinan Azmeh\, Suite for Improvisor and Orchestra  \nRunning time with intermission — 100 min \n\n\nOpening with a mini-Oktoberfest celebration! We’re serving complimentary locally crafted brews from Camp Colvos and soft pretzels. \n\n\nStep into the Vienna Woods with fluted bird song\, folks tunes and yes\, zither (rare instrument alert!). Zither player Kurt Eckroth joins us for the iconic Ländler country dance tune\, which then whisks us into a whirlwind of 5 glorious waltzes. \n\n\nAscending Bird tells the story of a mythic bird that tries to reach the sun. It tries at first and falls back down. It tries again\, then finally on the third time it receives the radiant embrace of the sun and loses its physical body\, in a metaphor for spiritual transcendence. The music is an arrangement of an old Persian folk tune\, starting gently and working up to a thrilling close. \n\n\nHailed as ‘spellbinding’ (The New Yorker) and ‘intensely soulful’ (The New York Times)\, guest artist and composer Kinan Azmeh brings us his genre-bending Suite for Improvisor and Orchestra. The suite takes us from Love on 139th Street in D\, a vibrant homage to Harlem’s cultural mix\, to November 22nd\, a meditative reflection on finding home far from home\, and concludes with Wedding\, in the spirit of a Syrian village celebration. \n\n\nSeating is at 8-top tables for both concerts\, general admission. Come with friends and make new friends! \n\n\nParking at both Foss Waterway Seaport Museum (Saturday) and Pioneer Park Pavilion (Sunday) is free. \n\n\nConcert sponsored by Concrete Technology Corporation \n
