Jan 11: Querevalu at Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center
Is imitation the highest form of flattery... or appropriation of the sacred? Alexandro Querevalu, who was born in Lima, Peru, and immigrated to Poland at 18, is firmly in the former camp. Dressing in the costume of Native American tribes, he performs earnest and soulful renditions of North America’s indigenous music. You’ll either resonate with the versatility, eloquence, and emotion he expresses, or want to shout at him to take off the damn headdress.
Jan 11, 8.30pm; RMB180-320. Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center. See event listing. Tickets.

Jan 14: Homeshake at B10 Live

Fresh Air continues Sagar’s exploration of dreamy, downtempo bedroom R&B and draws inspiration from artists like Sade, The Band, Broadcast, Prince and Angelo Badalamenti. His smoky, laidback love songs and decidedly stoned sound are a breath of fresh air to a world of autotune and EDM.
