God’s Unruly Friends Returns to Harlem.

Blog, Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s been a long time coming.

God’s Unruly Friends is emerging from its hiatus to offer a performance – maybe the last performance of 2016. Our music, a mystic-ethno-jazz-electronica will bring you to a psychospiritual place of peace and illumination.

This event will reveal the pre-release of God’s Unruly Friends’ upcoming CD A Pearl in Wine. This LIMITED EDITION CD will not be in existence long. However, copies will be available at the show at a discounted rate. AND the first five people who RSVP me at godsunrulyfriends@gmail.com, and attend the show, will get a free copy of the CD!

More good news! If you can’t attend, the performance will be streamed live! You can access it here. After the date of the performance I will provide you with a link to watch it any time. An audio and video recording of the show will be made available.

The performance will be on Thursday, October 27th, 7:00PM EST. It will be located at The Shrine ( 2271 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd, New York, NY 10030). 

Come, join us. Be part of something wonderful.

New Actions!

Well, as of this writing, Ramadan is almost over. Many things are in the works.

Jimmy Lopez and I will be at Silvana (300 west 116th st. NYC) on Tuesday, July 21st 8pm. The music of the Renegade Sufi ensemble as well as other exotic and beautiful music will be presented.

On Thursday, July 23rd 7-9pm I will be at at Jungle Cafe (996 Manhattan Ave. Brooklyn NY). At this point, I’m not sure if this will be a solo or duet performance. I’ll let you all know. 

 

After a hiatus, I have returned to offering the Music Meditation Sessions! The next one is at Namaste Bookshop (2 west 14th st. NYC) on Tuesday, July 31st, 8PM. The exchange will be $15. 

On Wednesday, August 5th, 6-9pm, I will perform at the Rubin Museum of Art (150 west 14th st. NYC). I will be joined by Jimmy Lopez on percussion. This is a free concert in a family friendly venue.  

Join me for the World Premier of the Harmolodic Raga Cycle. This is a series of compositions / improvisational templates that bridge the concepts of harmolodics with the primordial essence of Indian Raga. This will be a solo performance (with possible special guest TBA) at Music Inn (169 west 4th street NYC) on Saturday, August 8th, 9PM. The exchange is $10. 

Looking further ahead, God’s Unruly Friends is planning some more performances, including a date at BAM Cafe in November. We are also in the beginning stages of work on a recording. More details to come.

More news of interest. Leilah Publications has scheduled the 2nd edition of  my novel “A Quantum Hijra,” and the release of my collection of short stories “A Mansion with Many Rooms” soon. I will keep you informed.

There are more wonderful things happening. I’ll keep you all informed.
