AFRO FUNKE' LIVE PRESENTS
SUBHIRA
Ethnic Trance.
“Transubhiriano”; Subhira’s latest project is conceived and performed specially for DANCE and TRANCE incorporating concepts from original ethnic cultures. Their instruments include; didgeridoo, Brazilian, African and world percussion, drums, analog and digital keyboards, Armonium, bass, MIDI guitar, vocals... Live, they use backgrounds and sequences from a computer together with the band playing. It is a two hour show. They’ve played in Raves, Festivals, Discothèques and Music Halls. Their main performance of this year was at Earth Dance Raveto more than 5.000 people, VUUV Festival in Berlin-Germany (10.000 people), and the concertfor H.H Dalai Lama in Santiago Arena for 9.000 people dancing all the concert long!...

Chilean press acclaims…. “Subhira is undoubtedly, the main cultivator of electro acoustic musicin the country”, (La Segunda, Nov 1998) and that his concerts are “…..a magisterial class of World Music” (El Mercurio, March 2001). About his Transubhirian Project; “you better rest thenight before a Transubhirian concert, they really fulfill their goal of “dancing until disappear” and ”they produce the same results of the best DJ, but with real musicians” (EMOL, 2007).

NOISETTES
listening party w/ lots of giveaways!
With Noisettes, it’s always best to expect the unexpected. Two years on from a debut album awash with punk spirit and scorching blues-rock, the London trio return with Wild Young Hearts, a set of sleek pop songs steeped in soul, dizzy on disco and harking back to the days of blues and jazz greats.

From the stomping electro-rock of Saturday Night and galloping funk grooves of forthcoming,first single Don’t Upset The Rhythm, to the joyous, jazzy title track, the glorious ‘60s-tingedsoul of Never Forget You and the sultry, shimmering pop of 24 Hours, in Wild Young Hearts, Noisettes have made what is set to be one of 2009’s most adventurous albums.
