It’s easy to confuse Pennsylvanian wizkid Balam Acab with the supernatural jaguar-man of Mexico Balam Agab. Their names are just one letter away from each other, they’ve both been called ‘haunting’ and according to legend, they both wear the skin of a jaguar while prowling the jungles of Mexico. If you like your beats choppy, your vocals ethereal and your bass lines low enough to melt your spine, the more human of the Balams will be at the Bakery on Friday with support from Diger Rokwell, Andrew Sinclair and other hard-to-beat makers.
