Altered Zones

Yesterday, Chocolate Bobka wrote about Janka Nabay on the Kickstarter blog because J needs help getting down to SXSW. With 32 backers and $3,500 to go, Nabay needs your support to play showcases curated by Other Music, Prince Rama, and others. Your contribution wouldn't just help The Bubu King as he won't be traveling alone. The Bubu Gang is crashin' in too, which includes Sleepy Doug Shaw of Gang Gang Dance and Highlife, plus the boys from Skeletons and Glasser. It'd be a total shame if the group didn't make it down, they put on a great live show that's not to be missed. Bobka summed up their set the best: "each time I leave with my feet sore, but my mind strong." --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones

Read more thoughts on the gang at McGregor's Kickstarter article, where you can listen to an old Janka Nabay cassette recorded in his native Sierra Leone, then donate to the project here.
