Laaraji

Laraaji began playing music on the streets of NYC in the late 70s, improvising trance-inducing music on a modified zither/autoharp. Brian Eno “discovered” him playing in Washington Square Park and the result was Laraaji’s most widely-recognized release, Ambient 3: Day of Radiance, the third installment of Brian Eno’s Ambient series. Laraaji went on to release a series of albums and captivate a global following. In recent years he has been collaborating with a new generation of musicians, including playing live at the Deerhunter-curated All Tomorrow’s Parties festival. Laaraji will perform the album Day of Radiance at this BAMcafé Live engagement.
