Derek Monypeny at Acme Records in Milwaukee on April 3, 2026

Avantgarde world music performer Derek Monypeny made another appearance at Acme Records a few weeks ago as part of a national tour with banjoist Kelby Clark.

Last time, Monypeny provided massive and dazzling psychedelic oceans of sound produced with a shahi baaja -- this time he came with a bulbul tarang, a related stringed instrument from India which features repurposed typewriter keys which are pressed down upon the strings, creating an etherial effect.
