Cross-Cultural Deja Vu
The son of a Chilean
mother and a Pak-
istani father, Fareed
Hague, pictured, is
the ultimate '90s mu-
sician. He teaches
jazz, improvisation
and classical guitar
at Northern Illinois
University; his Blue
Note Covers Series
recordings reflect his
cross-cultural inter-
ests through his re-
interpretations of
Crosby, Stills, Nash
and Young's Deja Vu
to Bob Marley's Nat-
ty Dread. An expert
at mixing the unex-
pected with the fa-
miliar, Hague says,
"A lot of people are finding that, unlike musicians 40 years ago,
we haven't grown up isolated in a community where everyone
speaks the same musical language." Hear him perform 8 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 7. $7. Magic Bag, 22920 Woodward, Ferndale.
