Lebanese Indie Music Label // Promoter & Distributor // Radio Show
I asked some of my favorite musicians from Beirut and beyond, to tell me what their favorite records of 2011 were…
Improv & free jazz Swiss musician Paed Conca (AnArchy TV, Bushwac, The Incompetents, Porta Chiusa, Praed, Syg Baas, Under The Carpet…) opted instead for a list of his all-time favorites:
– Morton Feldman
– MF Doom
– Cheb Khaled
– Sardar Ali Takkar
– This Heat
– John Coltrane
– Eric Dolphy
– Dead Kennedys
– Hüsker Dü
– Saccharine Trust
PRAED, aka Swiss musician Paed Conca and Lebanese musician Raed Yassin, were the guests of Ruptures for an interview + live performance, three days prior to the launch of PRAED’s second studio album, “Made In Japan”. For the occasion, the two men played excerpts from all their releases, and held a live performance in the studios of Radio Lebanon. Original and inventive music-making, at its best.
