BOBBITO @ COUP D'ETAT - FRI OCT 18

The one and only Cucumber Slice, Cool Bob Love er, BOBBITO takes over the decks this Friday. A NYC icon, the man is a legend in the game. His long running radio show with Stretch Armstrong is enough to put him in the Hip Hop hall of fame, but that is only a bit of his bio. DJ, singer, producer, semi-pro basketball player, writer, editor, photographer, sneaker designer, you name it - Bob does it. But Bobbito on the decks, is what he does best. Get ready to take a trip....
Man has deeeeeeeeeeep crates. Can't hardly wait.

Friday, Nov 18, 9pm. With The Voodoo Killer DJ NewLife

RAIL BAND BACK ON WAX x 2!

The great and rare Buffet Hotel De La Gare from the Rail Band – amazing Mali music from a most pivotal and groundbreaking time in the group's early history – and some its best! At this point, the group was essentially the house band at the Buffet Hotel De La Gare – blending traditional Mandingo melodies and instrumentation with boundary free jazz and funk. Truly amazing work!




A pivotal piece of Mali music history – the first LP by The Rail Band – the Orchestre Rail-Band de Bamako album from 1970! This legendary material comes from their early days from their time at the Station Hotel of Bamako and were sponsored by Mali's Ministry Of Information – modernizing traditional Mali music and combining it with cross cultural soul, Latin percussion and more – paving the way for Afro Soul and funk to come.
