This is a film that I made about my adventures at Afrika Burn in 2010, the official African outpost of the world famous Burning Man event. I’ve been regularly going to Burning Man in the US for a few years and so I thought it was about time that I checked out some of the other Burns around the world. The whole thing was shot on a camera that was no bigger than a packet of cigarettes and then I edited it on my laptop so go easy! I got to DJ out there which was a lot of fun and I will definitely be going back again this year to do the same. You can read the full blog post I wrote at the time about Afrika Burn here and if you want to find out more about Afrika Burn 2011 you can check out their official website here. |

ALI B AT BUSH DOCTORS MEDICINE SHOW

I’m really looking forward to playing at this party. It’s run by two legends; Rennie Pilgrem and Jem Panufik who is best known as one half of Soul Of Man and the creative talent behind all of the Finger Lickin’ artwork hence the dope flyer! Musically we’re all going to be on a funk tip that night which is gonna be a lot of fun. I’m also looking forward to checking out this new venue in West London with it’s Function One Sound System as I haven’t been there before. The Freestylers played the month before and said it was off the chain…

ALI B LIVE RECORDING FROM BURNING MAN 2008
|
The Opulent Temple is the sound camp I’ve been part of at Burning Man for the last few years, acting as their UK connection. I’ve put on various fundraisers this side of the pond at venues in London including Fabric & Cargo which have been a lot of fun. They have just featured my set from The Opulent Temple, Burning Man 2008 on their podcast which you can grab here. It made me get a bit teary eyed when I listened to this as it literally made me want to be back there again. The theme that year was ‘Patriotism’ so I ended my set with an edit I’d made of Jimi Hendrix ‘Star Spangled Banner’ followed by the Soulwax remix of The Rolling Stones ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ which sounded great on the Playa. I cannot wait to be back home in Black Rock City later this year… |
