Folk and pop musicians are sought out, documented and released on the Sublime Frequencies record label, capturing ultra-vivid sights and sounds from rural life and urban street. Radio broadcasts, field recordings and lost archives are also assembled into CD and vinyl releases, all presented in a genuinely thrilling and unabashed style. This two day event follows in that tradition. Street-level folk-pop, over-driven psychedelic meditations, desert blues and Syrian party bangers are all combined with films and DJs on this once in a lifetime Sublime Frequencies experience. It brings to the Berlin two live acts who have released albums on the Sublime Frequencies label; Group Doueh (from the Western Sahara) and Omar Souleyman (from Syria) plus Sublime Frequencies DJ sets and on the second day film screenings and talks. Sublime Frequencies are presenting some of the greatest expressive music in the world with only one agenda in mind: that it needs to be heard or seen, respected and recognized. This is a rare opportunity to see the two maverick and genuinely great groups from vastly different traditions and influences playing on the same bill. Representing the label are Alan Bishop, Hisham Mayet and Mark Gergis. Bristol based Qu Junktions and DISK/CTM are the producers. This is an artist run enterprise bringing music and culture and messages together in a high spirited and infectious way. > read more ...       PARTNERS Qu Junctions > www.qujunktions.com The Wire > www.thewire.co.uk Die Tageszeitung > www.taz.de Berlin.fm > www.bln.fm     FUNDED BY Hauptstadtkulturfonds > www.hauptstadtkulturfonds.berlin.de	> June 13, 2009
