Mim Suleiman @ Huntleys and Palmers Audio Club

Since their parties commenced in December 2007, Huntleys and Palmers Audio Club have pursued a daring booking policy, promoting acts as diverse as Silver Apples, Kelley Polar and Marissa Nadler at a variety of Glasgow venues. You just can’t tell what genre of music they’re going to champion next.

La Cheetah is the home of their new bi-monthly residency Highlife, which aims to embrace everything across the “black Atlantic diaspora”, from Chicago house and disco to UK funky and Fela Kuti. In a typically adventurous Huntleys and Palmers Audio Club move, they have booked Mim Suleiman as Highlife’s special guest for November.

The Zanzibar-born singer songwriter, who sings in both her native Swahili and English, has just enjoyed the distinction of becoming the first artist to release a full album on Gerd Janson’s acclaimed Running Back label. Tungi has been described by Janson himself as a collection of “futuristic African beat music with a discotheque twist, crossed with transmissions from outer space.” Suleiman will be accompanied onstage by her collaborator and percussionist Chris Fingaz, and is unlikely to play a venue as intimate as La Cheetah anytime again in the near future. Don’t miss out! [John D. McGonagle]
