Amina Alaoui
"Sublime Tangential cross-pollination blending Arabic, Baroque and improvised music.
An exquisite mosaic where the unlikely elements are integrated into an atmospheric whole.
Moroccan singer Amina Alaoui
is a revelation."

Morocco: where music happens.
First Tangents Maroc group met Hendrix reincarnated on a hike in the Atlas Mountains.
"A tour with Dore Stein is a most amazing voyage. Dore brings love and knowledge of diverse musical sources to his tour. He loves to dive into the local scene and creates opportunities to hear music you would not otherwise experience. I have haunting memories of Gnawa musicians performing in a restaurant in Essaouira that was closed for the evening, and surreal memories of Berber musicians performing at a desert camp in the Sahara for New Year's Eve.

Acoustic Guitarist Extraordinaire
Michael Gulezian
Sunday, August 2 (5p-10p)
Long time friend of the Tangents community Michael Gulezian wowed a sold out Tangents house party audience three years ago. It's time to bring this guitar original back for another solo house concert.
Most guitarists have either outstanding technique or play with unbridled passion. Michael Gulezian is a rarity. He combines virtuosic skills with uncommon emotional depth. Michael reaches deep from within to give his all on every song. Listen to "Michael Hedges Goes to Heaven" which is a stunning guitar tribute.

We have a San Francisco home for this Tangents party but may switch to a larger space in Berkeley.
If you know of a home that can accommodate 60+ folks, we're looking to expand our network of Tangents house party venues.

Thank-you!
Gazans 'Live In Despair'
(click above for BBC article)
The International Committee of the Red Cross has described the 1.5 million Palestinians living in
Six months ago Israel ended its 25 day assault on Gaza in which at least 1,100 Palestinians died.
The Red Cross says residents lack adequate shelter after homes were destroyed. Building materials, pipes and spare parts are urgently needed. Basic medicines and reliable hospital equipment are in short supply. The water supply is patchy and sanitation is at the point of collapse.
Poverty is at what the Red Cross calls an "alarming" level with large numbers of children malnourished.
