Fulu Miziki Kinshasa Music Warriors
This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Someone on Twitter posted a link to the live video for the song“Quarantine time with Warrior music” (which I have included below) and I was hooked.
Back when I was doing the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow, this definitely would have been featured prominently. Enjoy these three videos and do some digging on your own. Lots to discover.
“Fulu Miziki is a collective of artists who comes straight from a future where humans have reconciled with mother earth and with themselves. This multidisciplinary collective of artists is based in the heart of the Congolese capital city Kinshasa and was founded by Pisko Crane. For several years now, it’s founder Pisko has spent an amount of time conceptualizing an orchestra made from objects found in the trash, constantly changing instruments, always in search of new sounds.
Couples of years ago, Pisko Crane joined efforts with performing artist Aicha Mena Kanieba who, with Le Meilleur, DeBoul, La Roche, Padou, Sekelembele, and Tche Tche formed the Eco-Afro-Futuristic punk ensemble Fulu Miziki. Making our own performance costumes, masks and instruments is essential to their approach of Fulu Miziki’s musical ideology. Their unique sound supports a pan-African message of artistic liberation, peace and a severe look at the ecological situation of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the whole world. For Fulu everything can be recovered and re-enchanted.”

더튠 The Tune (Live)
I made a lot of great musical discoveries from all over the world while doing the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow. One of my favorites was 더튠 The Tune.

Here is 더튠 The Tune live at “Club Positive ZERO, Seoul, 26 Sep. ‘Play with God / Juega con dios”
Amiina Live On Icelandic TV
I don’t know a thing about this performance. Not a year. Not the setlist.
But, gosh-dang if it ain’t pretty and well worth a half hour of your time. “Seoul” (the first song) is one of my favorite songs and surely the prettiest song featuring song and desk bells you’ve ever heard, right?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Live At Sojus (1998)
This music blog is a hobby. I do it because I enjoy sharing music. I’ve mentioned several times how much tape trading through the mail played an important role in my musical development. I’ve shared lots of live concerts that I was first exposed to during my tape-trading days.
Today we return to those roots and feature a show by Godspeed! You Black Emperor. 12.17.98. Live at Sojus, Monheim, Germany. This remains one of the most pristine live recordings I have come across. I don’t tape trade any more but this one always holds a special place in my memory. I vividly remember putting this on and writing a paper (with headphones on) in one of the seminary lobbies where I used to study.
I have also shared my personal giddiness every time one of these personally-memorable shows is already available online so that I don’t have to upload, label, and all that crap. This is one of my favorites.
Oh, and feel free to skip the “Intro.” Otherwise, Enjoy.
Setlist:
Intro
The Dead Flag Blues
Moya
World Police And Friendly Fire
She Dreamt She Was A Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone In An Empty Field -> String Loop Manufactured During Downpour”

So far we’ve featured sessions from Medeski Martin and Wood with DJ Logic, Phish, David, Byrne, and Beck.

Medeski Martin and Wood with DJ Logic Live: Sessions At West 54th
I still have this show on VHS.
I don’t have a VHS player.
Technically this doesn’t fall in the “I had this show via tape trading” category that a lot of things I post. I recorded this on to VHS directly from my faithful local PBS station. I remember watching it.
I don’t know if you remember, but Sessions at West 54th was a New York variation of Austin City Limits. Originally hosted by KCRW’s Chris Douridas, David Byrne took over hosting duties beginning of the second season while John Hiatt hosted the third season. Yes, PBS is that cool.
Enjoy:
I never took the time to write down a setlist but the Wikipedia blurb for this episode of the show (Season Two Episode 06 originally aired 08/14/98) lists:
Wiggly's Way
Coconut Boogaloo
Latin Shuffle
Enjoy.
