425 Lafayette St. (212-539-8777)—Sept. 22: The ethereal Brazilian singer Cibelle. Later that night, Dengue Fever takes over. This polyethnic six-piece band out of Los Angeles plays trippy Cambodian pop songs from the sixties. The lead singer, Chhom Nimol, is a native of Battambong, and she sings in Khmer. Their home-town audiences have been enraptured by their theatrical performances and universal grooves. This is their first appearance in New York City and not to be missed. Sept. 26: Albert Kuvezin, one of the founders of the Tuvan throat-singing group Huun-Huur-Tu, leads his roots-rock band Yat-Kha. Roots rock in this case has a unique meaning. On its new album, “Re-Covers,” Yat-Kha uses traditional Tuvan instruments (like the long zither that gives the group its name) to play Western rock staples by the likes of Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Joy Division, and Santana, with Kuvezin’s impossibly deep voice giving new life to old lyrics.
