TICKETS + INFORMATION

Nadah el Shazly, out of punk and jazz, is now engaged in an electronic reconfiguration of the early 19th Arabic classical music of her hometown of Cairo. If that sounds like exactly what this List likes, it’s cuz it is: her six-year-old album Ahwar remains one of the best things around, in this List’s estimation. Masma Dream World’s music can get a little therapeutic at times — but the Gabonese half of her Gabonese/Singaporean background keeps things moving.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Good, fresh Korean at Insa (as always, forego the barbecue and east in the lounge/bar room, which is much nicer than the drab dining room).
