With releases like “Choubi Choubi: Folk and pop sounds from Iraq” and “Radio Niger,” the label’s work in archiving and field recording “outernational” creative practice through a kind of punk ethnomusicology is characterized by an embrace of traditional and innovative forms of performance and other human expression.

All Day I Rosé
Fort Mason Lawn, San Francisco
12:30 PM, Ages: 21+
$30
IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE:
We are writing to let you know that we are postponing All Day I Rosé until Saturday, November 11. The new time will be 12:30 – 5:30 pm.
We could not expose our employees, friends and customers to the anticipated unhealthy air quality. Though reports are conflicting and weather patterns hard to predict, many experts believe Saturday’s air will be worse than it is today. It also doesn’t quite feel right to party when so many, including our own relatives, are suffering right now. If you will be out of town on November 11, we can honor refund requests for the next 24 hours. Otherwise, we sincerely hope you will join us – it’s going to be an awesome event, and we want to keep it that way – and we are already incurring significant difficulties and costs due to the postponement
