DOWNLOAD: Malaikat Dan Singa Indonesia Tour 2011
Earlier this year Buffalo was treated to two separate appearances by the trance-inducing, Old Time Relijun frontman Arrington de Dionyso in the span of a single month.
First there was the sweat-soaked Shaman-like performance at the Vault with his group Malaikat Dan Singa, which you can watch in its entirety here.
Then there was the transcendental collaboration with Buffalo’s free-jazz hero Steve Baczkowski at The Backroom. Both were unbelievable nights that confirmed Dionyso as a (other)world-class perfomer.
Now Arrington, who tours constantly, is headed to Indonesia. Arrington has long sung in the Indonesian tounge and now he is headed to the island nation for the first time to serves as resident performer for the Yes No Klub. More info on this below courtesy of the Free Music Archive.
