Ok, mis local locos, tonight’s the night! We’re kicking off<\/a> the Together Festival 2011<\/a> with none other than Geko Jones<\/a>, Dutty Artz bredrin and co-host of Que Bajo?!<\/a>, NYC’s awesomest Afro-Latin dance party (& honestly, probably the best night I’ve ever had the pleasure to play at). <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do come out and welcome Geko to town & help us show him how Boston gets down —<\/p>\n

To get ready, here’s a recent remix cooked up by S\u00f1r Jones that I turned up over here<\/a>; as Juan Data describes it —<\/p>\n

In preparation for a Colombian carnaval event happening in New York, DJ\/producer (and Qu\u00e9 Bajo?! co-brainchild) Geko Jones grabbed this bullerengue song by Colombian folklorist Maria Mulata and mashed it up with Frikstailers\u2018 \u201cDancehallete\u201d from their latest EP Bicho de Luz.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The track above is rather appropriate to share today, for as it happens, I’ve roped Geko into sticking around through tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon in order to join me at a lecture-discussion I’ll be hosting<\/a> in conjunction with the Together Fest<\/a> (which has organized a number of free daytime events in addition to all the stuff at night<\/a>). In discussing remixes like this one, Geko will be helping me to tiptoe through the tricky turf of “electro indigeneity and powwow rhythms” — in other words, what are the implications (the pitfalls, the possibilities) of “Remixing the Traditional and the Indigenous” in our digital age?<\/p>\n

Here’s the deets<\/a>:<\/p>\n
