A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
