Buku in ReviewInaugural NOLA Hip-Hop, Electronic Music Fest Spotlights Budding Beats NoDef's Dan Goodman looks back at the first-ever Buku Music and Art Project, a St. Patrick's Day weekend-long party at Mardi Gras World. Within the festival, Goodman probes debates within the worlds of electronic music and hip-hop about live performance and, of course, buzz bands. Buku Fest Adds More Acts The debut edition of the Buku Music and Art Project got larger today as seven new acts were added to an already bustling lineup of international talent at the intersection of hip-hop and electronic music. The new artists slated for the March 17-18 Mardi Gras World fest include whiz kid DJs Porter Robinson, Gramatik and Figure and a DJ set by the leader of the infectious French band Yelle. In the hip-hop category, the fest added a set from N.O.'s own queen diva, Big Freedia and British-based, self-ascribed hip-hop supergroup The Rap Pack. Local rockers Gravity A are also on the lineup. Music Playlist Series: The Sounds of Summer by Laine Kaplan-Levenson Hola Nola, and hola the long, hot summer. This week sees a top ten mix of what’s been on rotation as spring heads into summer. From underground to top 40 hip-hop, obscure electronic indulgence, old world reggae, and the necessary French remix, there's plenty of bump n grind to either keep our minds off, or better yet enjoy the brutal beast of humid heat.
