The May 24th function is going to
be an AMAZING experience, a Bay Area talent powerhouse
showcase. Here are some words about the other
two groups:
CHIYAKARE: directed
by Julia Tsitsi Chigamba, plays a high energy
showcase of powerful music and dance from Zimbabwe
and the Southern region of Africa.

FIYAWATA: A powerful Hip-Hop, Reggae,
& Soul fusion group that has been opening
up for major acts such as Dead Prez and others.
The dope live instrumentation give the viciously
talented word smiths Ambessa and Zakia a platform
that has been leaving audiences wide-eyed and
booty-shakin'.
At the end of the night the three groups are going
to join forces for a musical throw-down rump-shake-out!
YO!!, much props to the Berkeley Folk
Festival!!! Then ran a super smooth ship, the
audience bought a gaggle of my cds, and the vibe
their was super b-town energetic and emotive (nice
word, eh?). Thanks Leah for hooking that up and
for the t-shirt!
Update on what's
what:
i am shifting focus from finishing
the Collection of Ballads Vol. I to getting geared
up for the fabulous and renowned High
Sierra Music Festival July 4th weekend. In
trying to do all this and handle music school
and the rest of the music biz I got hella sick
last week. So the album will be finished in September
(since I will be away from the studio in New York
City for the rest of July--who whipped the Yankees
recently?? da A's). don't get persnickety...love
love, it's all love my nyc fam.
so...i
have learned an immense amount about this business
lately. Shadey sometimes, shadey. oye. i had
a venue cancel on me at the last minute (i was
in the car on my way there) after i had announced
the event to my peoples (sorry if you came and
saw the sign outside). This place (not to name
names) also wouldn't pay me for the gig as was
understood if they cancelled. yaowzahs! i was
also offered a licensing deal on a song of mine
by folks who turned out to be scam artists (thank
you ASCAP--a songwriter's organization--for schooling
me!!!). experience leads to growth...so onward!!!
