MONDAY
>> The wait is over! We’ve been anxiously awaiting the start of Fort Reno‘s season, and the day has finally arrived. Head up to the park and hear one of DCist’s favorite local outfits, Deleted Scenes, along with Mass Movement of the Moth and The Boom Orangutangs.

>> It’s movie night at Galaxy Hut, and tonight the theme is 80s Surf Films. Get your Point Break on and drink an Alagash or twelve. It may not be exactly music-related, but it’ll rock you.

TUESDAY
>> Mark Heidinger is a man of many talents, and many bands. We interviewed him about one of his projects, The Apparitions, last year. This week, catch him solo as Vandaveer at DC9, with Hot Coffee, Mississippi and Arms and Legs. $8

>> We know what you’re thinking. “When am I gonna get my fix of Tuvan throat singers?” Worry no more, The Warehouse Next Door is here to help. The Alash Ensemble and a host of other eclectic and “extra terrestrial” guests take the stage at 8:30. $8

>> Heard recently dueting with Shakira, Haitian-American rapper Wyclef Jean will be headlining a free bill of Caribbean performers including Shaggy, Jamaican combo The Ska-talites, and Plunky & Oneness at the Kennedy Center from 5:30 to 9 p.m. outdoors on the South Plaza.

>> The presence of embassies in D.C. is sometimes good for area music fans. This summer, for example, Venezuela is sponsoring a series of unique shows. Tuesday, Eleggua, an Afro-Venezuelan percussion group, will be performing with C4 for free at 7 at the Venezuelan Embassy’s Bolivarian Hall, 2443 Mass. Ave NW
