ohlala, thank you all for coming out last saturday, we raised 140€ for Seed Samburu, big up!
last monday our Rebeluppalite dj SebCat did a radio session in the Radio Taxi programme at Urgent FM student radio as part of Rebel Up!/Brussels Up special with buddy dj Leblanc. We arrived 10 minutes late because of a minor car accident. Listen to it here >>>
Hola,
Big thanks to all of you who were at our Sfinks set last saturday and set the place on fire. We very much enjoyed it, such good fun!
Next saturday 13th, Rebel Up! is invited by our Venezualan buddy Riddim Kommander of the Tropical Bassline crew to come and play in Antwerp!
The night is free in and will be in Latin American café/resto Mama Matrea in the centre of t stad. Expect some good cumbia bass, digital cumbia, rebajada, tribal guarachero, speedmambo, powersoca, dancehall and much more latino bass styles…and some classico’s too!
You can also check out the event on facebook.
sat. 13 august @ Mama Matrea,
Lange Nieuwstraat 13, Antwerp stad
from 21.30 til 3.30
FREE IN!
With the heavy famine that is waging in the horn of Africa right now, we would like to raise emergency funds at the end of our Rebel Up! set at Sfinks. We hope that everyone can donate whatever they can spare and all the proceeding will go to the NGO Seed Sambura in Kenya.

A few weeks ago, the UN World Food programma suddenly decided to stop sending food reliefs to the tribal region of Central Sambura where the Samburu people live (a pastoral-nomadic tribe related to the Masai) and instead all food now goes to the refugee camps. It’s an unthinkable decision that the UN turns their back the Samburu starve and for that we boo the UN! Now all the educational progress that has been made in the last few years by NGO’s like Seed Samburu has been swooped away because without food, there is no education. Just 10 euro’s will already feed a Samburu child at school for a full month. Please give the Samburu kids a meal a day so that their education can continue!

hah, it’s Belgian national holiday time this thursday, where every Belgian feels very proud of being a Belgian, ahum. and what will we do? play some non-western global music, yeah!
This 4th Rebel Up! night in Brussels will take us to another dimension; that of the internet and streaming music clips from far away parts of the world. Youtube a go go.
The music video/dvd/clip is currently thé most versatile medium in Africa, Asia and South America to spread music and culture. The growing access to internet in these part of the world has made it possible that more and more of these music clips find their way on Youtube so that even people here in the West can look and listen to music and artists from all corners of the world. The Rebel Up! dj`s will play a personal Youtube selection of unknown lo-fi pop, digital folk psyche clips straight out of this neverending treasure cave, all projected on a big screen (inside & outside) and in full sound.
Loyal to the Rebel Up! philosophy, this night is a fundraiser for a local, independent NGO: the Brussels foundation Les Petits Samurais, that offers basic help to children from immigrants who are without papers and without assured accomodation. The organisation will give a short presentation during this evening.

This friday 17th, Rebel Up! will be spinning at the big Antitapas *cherry night* party in The Egg (an old empty factory!) in Anderlecht, just behind the South/Midi station.
We’ll be playing in the main hall, which is a giant hangar which can fit *a lot* people and seriously expected to fill up, as the Antitapas parties always draw over 1000 people, crazy stuff! From midnight to 5 am we’ll be playing all sorts *ratatouille* global sounds from every warm and tropical corner of the world with circus acts and an orchestra inbetween. In the other room there will be a cumbia band and balkan and cumbia dj’s like our good friend Quilombo to make people jump up.
It surely promises to be a huge ass party! -to talk in donkey spheres-.
See the Antitapas website for more info. Be early for the free food though. Hope to see you there!
Namaste,
the Kawa brothers
tonight the Rajasthani Kawa Brothers will be playing at Compilotheque!
The Kawa family hail from Jaipur -the pink royal city- where they have been raised with the legacy of traditional Rajasthani folk music and Indian classical compositions on the sarangi, santoor and tabla. Should be a special concert in true desertlike spheres of Rajasthan. See a video here.
Before and after, Rebel Up! Seb will play his Rajasthani recordings that he recorded on the streets and in people`s homes during a 6 month Indian music trip in 2007-2008. After the summer, a compilation of these Rajasthani recordings will be released on American cult label Sublime Frequencies by the title *Rajasthani Street Music*
be sharp, thik hai!
doors open at 20:00h, just 5€ in, very cheap bhai ya didi!
