Nettle

Fri 21 Mar, 8 pm. 415 South Street, Waltham, 02454. Dennis Nealon, Media Relations Director, 781-736-4205, nealon@brandeis.edu. Brandeis University - [events]

Comprised of an African-American DJ, a Scottish cellist, and two Moroccan musicians—all of whom met while living as expats in Barcelona—Nettle embodies the far-flung movement of people, ideas, and cultural practices so common in our globalized age. North African folksong, free improvisation, and hip-hop breakbeats create a powerful sonic space where World Music clichés are abandoned.
