(no subject)

Every time I think that my life is stupid and dull and unfulfilled I should remember that I am a person who in the course of a day can work 8 hours, go to a rehearsal for a show in which I will be part of the opening act for an international touring group of supremely talented musicians and then go to a seedy rock bar and keep on dancing while watching my rock star husband play music and being proud of what he has accomplished. That's not too stupid or dull.

(though this morning after five hours of sleep, stupid and dull seems a little apt, but that's what one gets for being fabulous)

Listen to the chicky chicky boom boom boom

Oojami! I am utterly thrilled to be part of this production--I like this band a lot and it's a real honor to share the bill. If i have ever made you a mix cd of Arabic electronica, I probably put their song Chicky on it. It was also one of their albums playing when I gave impromptu drunken bellydance classes in my kitchen one night :-)

OOJAMI and "Za-Beth's Magic Carpet Dancers"
Dancers-"Anita Cristina-Elke Subaia-Badriya-Genevieve-Zareena"
One of the best musical hybrids from London makes its Boston debut celebrating
their latest CD "Urban Dervish" featuring U.K. Beats and Turkish Sounds! Urban
Dervish fuses Turkish elements with a myriad of cultural traditions, providing a
whirling dervish cyclone of sound with layers of attitude. Their vibrant live show
features trademark Turkish percussion with exotic sounds from the Philippines to
Mozambique. Funk and break beats slink up to belly dancing and Sufi nuances,
topped with vibrant Latin and African rhythms.

with Special Guests ZIAF
Boston's Ziaf, just back from
sold-out shows in Europe, are gaining international acclaim for their contemporary
versions of songs made famous by the late French chanteuse, Edith Piaf. Last
year's debut recording, "Hommage à Edith" has garnered radio play in Boston,
Montreal and Switzerland, and the band has recently been featured on NPR, the BBC,
and WBZ Channel 4. At their Regent show, Ziaf will be celebrating the release of
their brand-new recording, "Hello, Boy! You Come With Me?".
