** Wed/December 5 - Sublime Frequencies Films Tour @ the Cat's Den, UK Student Center, 8 PM, FREE Two mind-blowing documentaries on traditional music that combine the field work of Alan Lomax with the psychedelic realism of Werner Herzog. Sublime Frequences smash the condescending implications of the term "world music" in order to TAKE YOU THERE. This footage is unlike anything else you've ever seen.
MUSICAL BROTHERHOODS FROM THE TRANS-SAHARAN HIGHWAY Film by Hisham Mayet (60 Minutes)
Hisham Mayet's latest film showcases an assortment of spectacular musical dramas presented live and unfiltered on the home turf of the world's most dynamic string/drum specialists performing and manifesting the ecstatic truth! Ancient mystical brotherhoods have been flourishing for centuries in and around the cities of Marrakesh and Essaouira in Morocco where the trade caravans have gathered from their long journeys across the Trans-Saharan Highway.
This is some of the last great street music on Earth.
