INSTITUT 016 | vintage vinyl | SHAUNT RAFFI

From Armenian folk to Ethio-jazz, desert blues and beyond. Shaunt Raffi closes the night with a vinyl set built on curiosity, tradition, and deep listening.

Vol 16: Shaunt Raffi closes the night with a vinyl selection tracing musical traditions across Armenia, Southwest Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa.

This is the closing set of VOLUME 16 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 early for KRYVA KOSA at 5PM, Tamar Ilana × Blancanieves at 7PM, and Nastasia Y at 9PM. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
