Dear me, I HAVE been negligent with my blog posts, haven’t I?

Well, I assure you it’s not due to lack of interest, In fact, I’ve been quite busy of late. And freezing cold! But that’s for anotehr blog.

If you are reading this, you are on my new website! Yes; godsunrulyfriends.com is my new base of operation / musical dojo / party space. I asked Kosi (jazz singer extraorinare, webmaster, and my fiancee) to build this for me. My old website renegadesufi.com is still operational, but I’ve begun a new phase: and a new band.

God’s Unruly Friends is a project that presents psychoactive jazz / world music form another world, with performances that use elements of theatrics, and other surprises. Our premier performance at the University of the Streets was a success, and held great promise for the future.

Our next performance will be at the Theater for the New City (155 1st avenue, NYC) on Monday, March 9th, 7pm.

You will note the hyperlink in the dropdown menu in “About Dawoud” called Music Meditations.” A year ago, I began conducting music meditation session. Their popularity has been slowly building; and the sessions themselves have been a great success. You aught to come by and experience it for yourself.

The 2nd edition of my Sufi science fiction novel “A Quantum Hijra” is coming out soon. Leilah Publications has negotiated a deal for the catalog to be distributed out of Egypt. And my short stories will appear in a collection to be released n summer 2015.

I am still writing for doobeedoobeedoo.info. Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi and I are also involved in a music activism program; a foundation called Enough is Enough NY. More details to come soon.

Also, I’m working at musical Director for the rock ballet “1001 Nights: Tales form Death Row.” This is produced by the Kandake Dance Company, and directed and written by Olga El.

Thanks for stopping by. This blog will be busy; and contain many interesting things. If you want to share your thoughts with me, write me at renegadesufi@gmail.com
