Beneath the Veil

'Samadi: An Evening of Dance and Music for Peace,' featuring two of the Bay Area's foremost promulgators of 21st-century world beat electronica.

Lumin features Jeffery Stott (Middle Eastern stringed instruments, percussion, and electronics), Michael Emenau (laptop and samplers), Irina Mikhailova (vocals), Susanna Goldenstein (percussion), and Rena Jones (violin and cello). Shabaz includes sibling Qawaali vocalists Sukhawat Ali Khan and Riffat Salamat and multi-instrumentalist and producer Richard Michos. Both groups draw different blends of idiomatic influences from the music of Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, and Kazakstan and from rock and hip-hop but come up with similarly trancelike ecstatic singing in a gentle maelstrom of compelling dance beats. DJ Sep (KPFA, Dub Mission, Yaldah) spins. 9:30 p.m.-2 a.m., SomArts Gallery, 934 Brannan, S.F. $12. (415) 978-2710, ext 220. (Derk Richardson)
