Gonjasufi Concert at 16 Tons
Клубные российские · 11.05.2011
The newest master of avant-garde hip-hop from America, Gonjasufi, will perform today with a concert at the club "16 Tons"... Gonjasufi started with a search, first composing puzzling rap as part of the hip-hop formation Masters of the Universe, and then stepping into spiritual realms, fully mastering the secrets of Bikram yoga. In 2010, the artist appeared unexpectedly and independently on the prominent British label Warp with his debut album "A Sufi and a Killer," which everyone began to talk about. The record was produced by crucial figures in new experimental music - Stephen Ellison aka Flying Lotus and William Benjamin Bensussen aka The Gaslamp Killer. And framed by Gonjasufi's enveloping vocals, we are presented with intricate music that combines the long existential search of the artist with the yogic concentration he achieved.
If Bikram yoga is intended to cleanse the body of toxins, then the wizard Gonjasufi turned all his toxins into musical canvases that captivated the collective consciousness. And while some separate, like grain from chaff, the hallucinogenic sound from ethnic motives, others are detached, allowing themselves to fully immerse in the musical journey of Gonjasufi...
