Bethany And Rufus Roots Quartet To Perform At Barbes October 30th

Url: http://www.barbesbrooklyn.com/calendar.html

New World/Folk/Roots group The Bethany and Rufus Roots Quartet will be performing at Barbes in Brooklyn, New York on Friday, October 30, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. The Roots Quartet includes the duo Bethany and Rufus (Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia), along with Fulani flutist Yacouba "Denke Denke" and Afro Haitian drummer 'Bonga' Jean-Baptiste. The foursome will be performing tracks from their live 12 track CD "Live A Fip" released in Europe on October 22nd as a co- production with Radio France and Daqui Records.

Bethany And Rufus Roots Quartet @ Barbes
Friday, October 30, 2009 at 8:00 p.m.
376 9th Street (corner of 6th Avenue)
Park Slope, Brooklyn
(347) 422-0248
http://www.barbesbrooklyn.com/

One reviewer describes "Live A Fip," as "like nothing you've ever heard before. Styles from everywhere and anywhere come together seamlessly. One hears distinctly Afro-Cuban rhythms pop under driving bass lines, folksy lyrics and screaming flute. "Death Don't Have No Mercy" is particularly characteristic of this mixing and meshing. The cello is inescapably funky, the bongos complexify the rhythms, the flute line seethes with fiery reverberance, and Bethany's vocals lament the world in a way that only American folk music can."

Bethany as the daughter of legendary 60's Folk singer Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul & Mary) draws from the many songs that her father collected as part of the seminal folk movement of the 60s. Yacouba has dug deeply into the folkloric Hausa, Djerma, Peul and Songhai traditions of Niger and Bonga is the descendant of a very rich lineage of Vodou ceremonial drumming and song. Bonga has also traveled extensively through Haiti collecting and learning the different manifestations of Haitian song and folklore. Rufus has taken the cello into previously unknown realms and is noted for his collaborations in African, Arabic, and American music forms and also has a solo CD Songs for Cello on the Daqui label. Individually all of the members of the group have been instrumental in expanding the role of traditional forms in their respective musics. It is with this background that they have come together to create a sound that although based around the song forms of American traditional music reaches back to a common root that has inspired everyone involved.

40 Experts A La Carte For MIDEM+

More contacts, more advice. In 2010, MIDEM will push innovation further with MIDEM+, a new event dedicated to personalised networking where digital and music industry executives will be able to hold one-on-one meetings with around 40 experts from a wide range of fields including digital marketing, working with brands and looking for funding. MIDEM+ will open its doors in Cannes from 23 to 27 January, 2010.

"The idea is to offer tailor-made advice and a more individual approach. MIDEM+ is aimed at MIDEM participants who want to build on their experience of the marketplace and go home with the kind of concrete advice that is indispensable for developing their own businesses," said Dominique Leguern, director of MIDEM.

Those taking part in MIDEM+ will meet experts who are specialists in their given field and who will respond to specific problems. They can count on the shrewd advice of Jon Cohen, pioneer in the area of relationships between music and major brands, working notably with Converse, Nike and Microsoft. For everything to do with digital marketing, MIDEM+ attendees can look to the expertise of Neil Cartwright, who was behind The Prodigy's web campaign. Two experts will be available for their knowledge in the field of marketing the artist: Matt Drouin, whose input helped the group Metric to sell more than 100,000 units via their web-site in one month; and Emily White, who was behind the international success of the Dresden Dolls.

In the exhibition area reserved for MIDEM+, participants will be welcomed by "connectors." Their mission will be to put attendees in the hands of the right business contacts. Chosen for their considerable knowledge of music industry leaders, these three pioneers of new business models in the sector will be there to oversee this matchmaking: Ted Cohen (TAG Strategic), Denzyl Feigelson (AWAL and consultant for iTunes & Coca) and Bruce Houghton (Skyline Music / Hypebot.com).

Important: Participation in MIDEM+ requires separate registration. "Early bird" reduced rates are available until 31 October.
