Lost In Translation — Album Launch Party + Talkback with Omar Offendum & Thanks Joey
Free with RSVP; $10 suggested donation
AANM is excited to host the launch party for new album Lost In Translation by Omar Offendum and Thanks Joey — tune in and jam out with us to live performance of the album by Omar and Joey + talkback hosted by Arij Mikati!
Journey through the Syrian-Pacific with your own personal dragoman Omar Offendum, along with his partner-in-thyme Thanks Joey. This Shamreeki sonic saga is equal parts nostalgic and futuristic. Featuring samples from some iconic Syrian films, and a dizzying dose of Damascene bilingualism, Lost In Translation is a celebratory love-letter to this very merry and hairy Arabian way of life in the California Califate of Los Shamgeles.
Lyrics by Omar Offendum | Music by Thanks Joey

Due to the pandemic, we have been closed to the public since March 13. Closed doors mean that our earned revenue streams have dried up, and corporate funds have been pivoted to assist with COVID-19 relief or for their own financial survival. We are looking forward to the day we can safely reopen, but until then, we need your support.
