Popebama: Erin Rogers (saxophones), and Dennis Sullivan (percussion)

AND
Ravish Momin (drum kit and electronics) & Ricardo Gallo (synthesizers)

Momin and Gallo will perform for the first time as duo bringing together their common interests in music technology and its possibilities for improvising and developing original beats rooted in their backgrounds in the music of South India, North Africa, Middle East, West Africa and its diaspora and Latin America.
