INSTITUT 012 | vintage vinyl |SHAUNT RAFFI

Late night vinyl from a Toronto curator rooted in Armenian and South West Asian and North African sounds — expect the unexpected.

Vol 12: SHAUNT RAFFI closes out the night — Armenian folk, desert blues and ethio jazz on vinyl.

This is the closing set of VOLUME 12 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

Come earlier for a live soundtrack of Elevator to the Gallows with RUDY RAY at 9PM, PUULUUP at 7PM, or KRYVA KOSA at 5PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
