WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: North Africa Sounds in South Arcata

Should you find yourself at Richards’ Goat Tavern on Wednesday, prepare to have your ears massaged by the sounds of the guembri (a traditional three-stringed instrument used in Gnawa trance musc) courtesy of New York City-based singer/songwriter Nour Harkati, who will be peddling Tunisian sounds and rhythms. More on that show in your Lowdown below.
