Songhoy Blues + Low Mentality | Planetary Party Friday, October 25, 2019 at 8 – 11 PM New City Brewery, 180 Pleasant St (12 Rear), Easthampton, Massachusetts 01027, $15
If there’s anything good at all that came out of the conflict in Northern Mali, then its audible in the defiant guitar licks of Songhoy Blues. After being forced to leave their homes in Timbuktu by Islamic extremism, the young quartet formed in Bamako in 2012 and began to navigate their refugee condition and celebrate their birthright through music — the arid, hypnotic desert blues of the Songhoy people.
Their high-voltage live performances in Bamako paved the way to international stardom — The band already counts such luminaries as ?Nile Rodgers?, ?Gary Clark Jr?., ?Run the Jewels?, ?Iggy Pop?, Nick Zinner, Matt Sweeney & ?Will Oldham? as fans — and for a band still in their 20s, thats some really good buzz. One thing’s for sure — Ali Farka Toure never got this funky. Bamako these days is electric and alive with Western music, and Songhoy Blues is a modern groove machine in the effusive spirit of James Brown or Sly Stone. The hypnotic trance rhythms of classical Malian music are threaded with classic rock and funk riffs in provocative fusion.

“Picture what would happen if Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin met Ali Farka Touré in a garage in West Africa. . . . The band is Songhoy Blues.”—World Café, NPR
Talk about a Planetary Party — Brooklyn's own Nikhil P. Yerawadekar & Low Mentality is also on deck for this one, delivering personal and uplifting original songs suitable for dancefloors, car stereos and headphones worldwide. The group plays organically cultivated styles drawing from Nikhil’s wide range of experiences, from his formative years as a teenage hip-hop junkie in Queens, NY, to later in his life when he found himself working closely with artists such as Hailu Mergia (Awesome Tapes From Africa), Zap Mama, Tony Allen, Cedric “Im” Brooks and Khaira Arby, and performing all over the world with Antibalas and collaborators such as Santigold, Sharon Jones, Billy Gibbons, Nels Cline and Esperanza Spalding.
“Nikhil P. Yerawadekar and Low Mentality make some of the best music coming out of NYC. Not the best Afrobeat, not the best post-highlife, not the best South African psychedelic disco. Some of the best music, period.” -Saxon Baird, AFROPOP WORLDWIDE
