Listen: Gorillaz Live in Syria

Filed under: Uncategorized — Larry Fitzmaurice @ 9:55 pm

Well, this is pretty cool: On Sunday night, July 25, Damon Albarn brought his animated pop project Gorillaz all the way out to Damascus, Syria's 1,000-year-old Damascus Citadel for a special performance. The list of guest appearances is staggering: Bobby Womack, De La Soul, the Pharcyde's Bootie Brown, Paul Simonon and Mick Jones of the Clash, the Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder, UK rappers Bashy and Kano, and Syrian rapper Eslam Jawaad. NPR Music has a stream of the set, so trek over there to check it out.
