I'll be giving a talk about ethnopsychedelia as part of a two day event celebrating and exploring the work of the excellent Seattle-based Sublime Frequencies label, whose provocative presentations of musics from around the planet I've been an admirer of for a while.  Syrian pop star Omar Souleyman and Western Sahara rock band Group Doueh (both are amazing!) will perform, the SF guys will talk about their work, and there will be films, DJ sets, discussion.

Text of talk available here.

Here's my original essay on SF and ethnopsychedelia.
