SUMMARY:Seffarine - ZAG Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:Seffarine’s international blend of sounds features soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp. Their music embraces and extends Naki’s rich heritage\, which spans from Moorish Spain to the Sahara\, by mixing Arabic Andalusi music with Hulskamp’s dynamic flamenco guitar\, the grooves of acclaimed percussionist Mimy Fiaindratovo Manavihare. These diverse backgrounds meld into an intoxicating blend of ancient and modern that Bass Player Magazine describes as a gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco\, Arabic and Andalusian music\, Persian classical\, and jazz. \nIn 2015\, Seffarine was awarded a grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council to travel to Spain to record their original music in collaboration with living legends of flamenco music\, including Diego del Morao and Tomasa La Macanita. The record gained Seffarine international acclaim when it placed in top world music charts around the globe\, including Afribuku’s Top 13 African Releases and the Transglobal World Music Charts\, a panel of 43 world music experts from 28 countries. In 2017\, Seffarine was honored to be selected by the Western Arts Alliance (WAA) as one of three Launchpad Artists. Seffarine is based in Portland\, OR and has been playing to enthusiastic audiences from the Western US to as far as Indonesia. \nSeffarine takes its name from the ancient metalworking square in Lamiae’s home city of Fes\, Morocco. Her family is well known in the Seffarine as master metalworkers continuing the tradition today. The square dates back to the 9th century and is famous for the complex rhythms that can be heard from the blacksmiths’ hammers.

SUMMARY:Bedouine at Triple Door
DESCRIPTION:When you listen to the love songs of LA-based Bedouine\, you might be reminded of Karen Dalton’s world-wise voice or the breathy seduction of Minnie Riperton’s vocals\, the easy cool of French ye-ye singers\, and the poetry of Joan Baez. Her folk is nomadic\, wandering across time and space\, and on the likes of new song “Dizzy” meander into danceable jams. On first discovery you may ask whether they’re dated to 2019\, or whether you’ve uncovered some forgotten classic. It makes sense that singer-songwriter Azniv Korkejian’s arrival – both musically and personally – on her second record has been influenced by her own wanderlust\, displacement\, and curiosity. \nBedouine Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/BedouineMusic/

SUMMARY:StringShot: Roy Rogers\, Badi Assad\, Carlos Reyes
DESCRIPTION:StringShot – Blues and Latin is a new collaboration of three artists: Roy Rogers (slide guitar/vocal)\, Badi Assad (guitar/vocal) and Carlos Reyes (violin/stringed harp). \nJoining together to form a musical “tour-de-force”\, Rogers\, Assad and Reyes blend their artistry and talent to create a new synthesis of cross-cultural music with Latin roots\, Jazz blooms and Blues undertones.  All virtuosos in their own right – these artists have created  a collaborative sound that is all their own. StringShot\, the self-titled debut album\, is available now! \nThe vocals of Badi Assad (and vocal percussion) propel the music to another level; joined with the superb stringed harp/violin of Carlos Reyes and the masterful slide guitar of Roy Rogers\, StringShot deserves to be listened to – tune in. \nBadi Assad (from Brazil and of Lebanese descent) was ranked by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the world’s great guitarists. Classically trained\, she has received numerous international awards in her prolific career. As a vocalist and percussionist\, she is a true innovator\, not only in technique but in performance. She has appeared in a variety of musical settings – from classical concerts with The Assad Brothers to jazz festivals with Pat Metheny and Larry Coryell.

SUMMARY:Tinariwen at Benaroya Hall
DESCRIPTION:The powerful melodies of Tinariwen have become the soundtrack for a whole generation of exiled Touareg youth living in Algeria and Libya. Their latest album\, Elwan\, represents a powerful meeting of two disparate generations and celebrates the capacity of music to make beautiful art out of experiences as intense and cruel as exile.  These extraordinary guitar-poets from the southern Sahara desert blend blues\, rock and pop with Berber and Arabic influences to create an altogether hypnotic concert experience.

SUMMARY:Samia at Thing Festival in Port Townsend
DESCRIPTION:There’s a line on Honey\, the latest album from Nashville-via-NYC songwriter Samia\, about Aspen Grove\, a collection of 40\,000 trees in the plains of North America\, all connected by a single expansive root system. There’s no stronger metaphor for the audience the 25-year-old empathy engine has been generating since she began releasing music seven years ago. Her songs\, her fans\, her friends: one enormous\, interconnected ecosystem. \nHoney\, comprised of eleven new moments of catharsis\, is by and for that organism. Set for release on January 23rd 2023 via Grand Jury Music\, the album was recorded at North Carolina studio Betty’s — – owned and operated by Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sandborn and Amelia Meath. It was produced by Caleb Wright\, part of the team that helmed Samia’s breakthrough 2020 debut The Baby\, and a founding member of one of Samia’s favorite bands\, The Happy Children. It features some of her nearest and dearest friends: Christian Lee Hutson\, Briston Maroney\, Jake Luppen\, Raffaella. Its songs were surreptitiously road tested for her devotees while opening for Lucy Dacus\, Courtney Barnett\, and more.

SUMMARY:Sudan Archives at Thing Festival in Port Townsend
DESCRIPTION:Violinist and vocalist\, Sudan Archives writes\, plays\, and produces her own music. Drawing inspiration from Sudanese fiddlers\, she is self-taught on the violin\, and her unique songs also fold in elements of R&B\, and experimental electronic music. \nSudan Archives grew up in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, where she “messed around with instruments in the house” and took up violin in the fourth grade\, eventually teaching herself how to play the instrument by ear. When she discovered the violin playing style of Northeast Africa\, her eyes opened to the possibilities of the instrument. “The way they played it was different from classical music. I resonated with the style\, and I was like\, ‘Maybe I can use this style with electronic music\,'” she says. \nThis fusing of folk music and electronic production was the turning point for Sudan. “I started mixing my violin into beats\,” she says\, “It wasn’t complicated — I’d just sing straight into the iPad.” She honed her at-home style after moving to Los Angeles aged 19 to study music technology\, and after a chance encounter at a Low End Theory party with Stones Throw A&R and Leaving Records owner Matthewdavid\, she signed with Stones Throw. At the very start of her musical career\, she’s already won plaudits from the likes of the New York Times and Pitchfork\, and played live at experimental festival Moogfest. \nHer EP Sudan Archives is an extraordinary debut statement from a singular artist. Over six tracks\, Sudan Archives layers harmonies\, violin figures and ethereal vocals\, grounding them all with the hip-hop beats. \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesudanarchives \nExact time is unclear.

SUMMARY:Bedouine at Thing Festival in Port Townsend
DESCRIPTION:Azniv’s experience of life is extraordinary. She was born in Aleppo\, Syria\, and swiftly moved to Saudi Arabia where she did most of her growing up until the age of ten. Her family won a Green Card Lottery and she went to an American school and lived in an ex-pat community. Her dad was a singer and would play traditional Armenian and Arabic music at home but Azniv didn’t make the connection in familial passion there until she was much older. “My music sounds so traditionally American and I’m not sure how that happened\,” she offers\, recalling that it wasn’t until her twenties that she discovered ’60s folk music and picked up a guitar. \nShe certainly never believed that music could be a career. Serving more as a healing process than any kind of professional pursuit she worked in sound design in her own little slice of Hollywood (incidentally\, where she met Gus) and wrote and wrote\, and from this well of songs\, she’s now arrived at more than two albums. “All my work is on the front end\,” she says. “All I can do is make sure I’m doing my best\, putting my best foot forward\, and honoring my emotional experience\, but what it does in the end can’t matter as much.” For Bedouine\, the songs have already served their healing purpose. Now it’s time for them to move others. \nBird Songs of a Killjoy follows her 2017 self-titled debut album via Spacebomb Records to widespread critical acclaim including a 5/5 The Independent album review and features everywhere from Vogue and Rolling Stone to The FADERand Stereogum. In the last year\, she has toured  alongside Fleet Foxes\, Kevin Morby\, Jose Gonzalez\, Father John Misty\, Michael Kiwanuka\, Hurray for the Riff Raff\,  Waxahatchee and Real Estate with sold-out headline show at New York City’s Joe’s Pub (“she sounds like a future legend — the sort of musician one will later wish to have seen back when\, at a small performance like this Thursday-night show.” – New York Times). \nThis second album continues her creative partnership with Gus Seyffert (Beck\, Michael Kiwanuka) who she met when working as a sound engineer in LA. “It’s called Bird Songs of a Killjoy\, and I’m the killjoy\,” Azniv grins. She describes the sometime perception of herself as a curmudgeon and a depressive. “Dare I say – a difficult woman\,” she continues\, laughing. “I’m taking ownership of that stereotype\, proudly. The music itself however\, is the farthest from curmudgeonly or depressive as could be. It’s a soundtrack to Spring blossom\, to warm air on skin\, to the concept of possibility.” \nAmazingly\, despite the successes since her debut release\, Bird Songs of a Killjoy rejects any pressures to be some kind of grand evolution from before. When her self-titled debut came out in the summer of 2017\, Azniv was entirely unknown\, and wasn’t necessarily looking to change that. The album she wrote in her free time while dealing with some emotional trauma and locking herself away in her house\, was an exercise in diarizing\, in expression without expectations. Some of the songs on this second effort were from that same time period of fruitful creativity. This time however\, there was more effort to concentrate on a cohesive beginning\, middle and end. It was her biggest challenge\, and it paid off. This is more than a mere collection of songs\, and for that reason\, includes a reprise of one song and features re-occurring musical motifs and hidden tracks. \nExact time is unclear. Please check event website for details. \nBedouine Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/BedouineMusic/

SUMMARY:Country for Syria - Benefit for Syrian Families in the NW
DESCRIPTION:Proceeds will benefit local Syrian refugee families\, with support provided through the\nFriends of Salaam Cultural Museum Helping Syrian Refugees.\n________________________________________________________________\nCOUNTRY FOR SYRIA IS AN ISTANBUL-BASED INTERNATIONAL MUSIC COLLECTIVE. WITH MEMBERS HAILING FROM THE US\, SYRIA\, TURKEY\, CZECH REPUBLIC\, AND FRANCE\, IT’S MISSION IS TO HELP REFUGEES AND THOSE AFFECTED BY CONFLICT.The band blends traditional Middle Eastern music with American Country music. The band’s earnings contribute aid to Syrian refugees and those affected by conflict around the world. \nUnfortunately\, not all members of the group could make it to Seattle due to Trump’s ongoing Muslim ban. However\, the show will feature local musicians from the Seattle area and other special guests! \nFor more information about Country for Syria:\nhttp://www.countryforsyria.com/music/ \nApril 5th\, 2019\nDoors: 8pm\nSuggested donation: $10-15\n________________________________________________________________ \nCountry music has its origins in the American Civil War. Now Syria is in the midst of its own civil war. Their music draws parallels between the musical and lyrical themes of Middle Eastern and American Country music to connect personal experiences of conflict and migration from around the world. Both the Country and Arabic musical traditions share themes of migration\, love\, loneliness\, longing for home\, patriotism\, faith\, and relationship to place. Both tell stories through narrative ballads\, through pastoral meditations\, by praising folk heroes and through the idealization of a lost way of life. \nCountry for Syria’s musical mission is one of cultural diplomacy and mutual aid. While in today’s climate\, Middle Eastern and American cultures are often seen to as polar opposites\, Country for Syria seeks to break down those stereotypes through their music\, showing how much we really have in common. Money raised online and at benefit concerts goes to refugees and people affected by the conflict. They do this by providing money directly to refugees\, and by playing shows whose proceeds go to organizations whose mission is to help those affected by the conflict. They partner with organizations such as Small Projects Istanbul \, Safe Place International\, Zaatar NGO\, the Ad Dar Center \, and Clowns Without Borders . The band also makes regular trips to refugee camps and conflict areas to deliver supplies and donations while playing concerts in solidarity.
