2010 AT BARDOT, MIAMI


Perry Farrell

Perry Farrell will head
south to Miami in December during Art Basel Miami Beach, a cultural and social highlight for the art world
and the most important art show in the United States. There he will present a one-of-a-kind experience with
Precision Guided Musicians (PGM). Set for Thursday, December 2 in conjunction with Lorraine Lamont of
Lola Ink Media, the PGM Art Project at Bardot is an invite-only event to kick off Art Basel Miami Beach and to
celebrate the launch of the PGM Art Project Grant.

After the exhibitions and galleries have closed, the evening’s entertainment will culminate the PGM Art Project event
at Bardot featuring a performance by Perry-Etty vs. Chris Cox (Farrell and his wife and musical collaborator
Etty Farrell vs. Chris Cox) and special guests to be announced. On Wednesday, December 1, prior to the PGM event,
Perry & Etty Farrell will host an intimate VIP dinner at South Beach art deco hotspot Townhouse served by BONDST,
executive chef Mike Hiraga’s sleek sushi restaurant.

In the spirit of the week’s festivities, Farrell and Garrett Chau have created the PGM Art Project Grant
whose recipient will receive $7,000 and whose artwork will be displayed at future PGM events. Lola Ink Media will
book a gallery series for the artist in major markets such as Los Angeles and NYC. Starting today, Tuesday,
November 16, all street and fine artists are encouraged to apply for the PGM Art Project Grant by submitting a 300
DPI Hi-Res scan of artwork along with their contact information to: artproject@pgmfestival.com.

The grant recipient will be chosen by Farrell and a selection of art experts in spring of 2011. Further details will be
revealed in the coming weeks.


Buena Vista Musicians Unite for AfroCubism

THE ORIGINAL BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB CONCEPT FINALLY COMES TO FRUITION

In 1996, a group of Mali’s best-known musicians were due to fly into Havana for a collaboration with some of Cuba’s
singers and instrumentalists. However, the Malians never arrived due to travel complications, and a very different
album was recorded instead: The Grammy Award-winning, multi-million-selling Buena Vista Social Club,
which became the biggest-selling “world music” album ever.

Nick Gold, the man behind the 1996 venture, finally brought the original invitees together with a line-up of
additional talent at a recent series of recording sessions. On October 19, World Circuit/Nonesuch Records will
release the lost Afro-Cuban album, AfroCubism, 14 years after originally planned.

Fronting the Cuban team is the cowboy-hatted singer and guitarist Eliades Ochoa, singer of the
celebrated Buena Vista theme “Chan Chan.” The two original Malian invitees are multi award-winning ngoni lute
master Bassekou Kouyate and the acclaimed Rail Band guitarist Djelimady Tounkara, both
considered to be among the world’s great instrumentalists.

Joining them are Ochoa’s Grupo Patria, one of Cuba’s longest running and most revered bands; the
Grammy Award-winning kora master Toumani Diabate; legendary Malian griot singer Kasse Mady
Diabate
; and the innovative balafon player Lassana Diabate.

Seventeen songs were recorded in five days, with all the musicians playing together live in one large room. A second
session was convened some months later and produced a further nine songs.
