East meets Westboro

I made a brief trip last night to a new venue General Assembly; It's right by House of Common and run by the same folks (the House will focus more on exhibits while GA handles the musical side of things, I understand). Scattered Clouds and Jerusalem In My Heart were performing. I arrived to late to catch the Clouds, but JIMH put on a dynamite set in compensation for stragglers like myself. Radwan Ghazan Mounmeh is the heart of the operation; for this set he was joined by filmmaker Charles-Andre Coderre, who provided the visuals. Here's Radwan before the lights went down.



And here's Charles-Andre before the lights went down.



Radwan sings!



Burzuq action!



Keyboard action!



A really fine performance, and a nice-sounding space as well.
