DJ Awesome Tapes from Africa at Treehouse in Brooklyn, tonight!

Treehouse012

Arthur pal Raspberry Jones hits us with this last minute update on tonight’s festivities in Brooklyn featuring the dude from Awesome Tapes from Africa, one of our daily must-listen audioblogs:

Hi friends!

Forgive the late notice, but…Treehouse returns tonight, with special guest Brian from the excellent Awesome Tapes From Africa blog. Like the name implies, Awesome Tapes features rare/obscure African music. We’re excited to have Mr. Africa on the Littlefield hi-fi this month, unearthing treasures from his pan-African bag of musical treasures and secrets. Raspberry Jones and Treeboy will likely branch out into the realm of global music as well for the evening.

So if you ain’t going to Coachella – or if you’ve packed already and want a freaky night out with friends and good tunes — we’d love to see you.

Looks like a beautiful night too. Note the later start time again (10pm).

And hey, Treehouse turns 1 this month!
