ALL NEW Riff Cafe

Featuring a new look, new (and utterly brilliant) contributors including the one and only Sunil Chandy of Thermal and a Quarter (and Lounge Piranha), new features (erm...label menu :-P), new and very exciting content covering areas as diverse as music during Apartheid, Carnatic music, pop-rock and an equally diverse variety of writing styles and perspectives, and lots of interactive content including videos, you must MUST visit Riff Cafe, because even though I say so myself, it is a brilliant, but criminally under-read, collaborative music blog.

A snapshot of what's available on Riff cafe now:

Mayibuye - In the struggle against apartheid, the call "Mayibuye!" took on rallying proportions. Mayibuye means, literally, "let it return" or "may it come back"...










You are in the Kyoo, Please Vait - Mallu rock Video, Band: Avial; Track - Nada Nada Nada





The Reluctant Genius - ...Wafting through the speakers of the little Phillips cassette player was the most quaint and extraordinary Sankarabharanam I had ever experienced. Each phrase was distinctly Sankarabharanam, but was still nothing like I had ever heard anywhere...







And LOTS MORE. So fuck off from here and go to riff cafe.
