I don’t know about you guys but for me, March marks the arrival of spring regardless of the actual temperature outside. So we are all coming out of february’s hibernation and gallivanting around the city once more ready to dip our feet into the musical springs of the east river and run across the bumpy hills of central park…right on up to the Apollo Music Cafe as a matter of fact. The Nubatones will be sharing the stage with Sofia Rei on Saturday March 16th. Doors open at 9pm and show starts at 10pm (we are on first)

Greetings from the road my lovelies…As much fun as a girl can have in the studio you still need to dip out once in a while and check out the scenery. So I decided to take a little jaunt over the big pond then take a right and land myself in the beautiful Malaysia. I will be performing with some other artists at the 5th Marketplace of Creative Arts in Johor Bahru in conjunction with the World Islamic Economic Forum Dec 5-6. So if you are in the area come say hi to my friend Brahim Frigbane and myself as we do a few tunes.

After our little jelsa at Bunna Café I got really excited about the whole secret venue thing and decided to do our own little secret show! Hopefully this will be the first of a series of secret and intimate concerts featuring other artists that inspire me and that I have had the pleasure of meeting along my path in the music world. This first installment will feature some very new material that the Nubatones have been working on as well as a full set by the trance-inducing Arooj Aftab. I had the pleasure of meeting this brilliant creative mind while performing in Chicago at The World Music Festival last year only to find out that we are actually Brooklyn neighbors. If you are not familiar with this woman’s music now is your time and you need to feel it live! Creating the soundscape to this entire night will be newcomer DJ Ushka. She is a resident DJ at the brooklyn global bass party iBomba and is a recent member of tropical bass/culture collective, Dutty Artz.

The show is at a secret location on Saturday, 9/29/12 in the Prospect Heights of Brooklyn, NY. You must RSVP to get the rest of the information, and attendance is by invitation only. Send an email to alsarah5000@gmail.com and you will receive a confirmation email with all the info.
