Mixes to Get Into

2 12 2011

Tracks of mine have been featured on a couple of recent mixes that I thought I should point to.

First, the Afrika 21 Mixtape project is a third in a serious for Soicety HAE. This instillation was taken on by Spoek Mathambo. Read about the project, including partner organizations (including Africulturban!) you can donate to here.

2nd, my Brooklyn compatriots Old Money released a blazing mix that includes one of my tracks from the upcoming African in New York EP. If you haven’t checked Old Money yet, don’t sleep!

Africa is Gathering in D.C.

3 11 2011

I’ll be sharing my ideas for positive change this Saturday as part of the two day Africa Gathering conference this weekend in Washington D.C.

I’m still putting my talk together, but it should be something about the history of the “Othering” Africa through music consumption in the West. Looking forward to my first ever speaking gig!

Hella Occupy Halloween

23 10 2011

I’m super excited to go back to the Bay for Halloween weekend, and play with some friends from both New York and the Bay!

On Friday night (Oct. 28th) I’m playing the Tropicalismo Halloween Party at 1015 Folsom in SF, with DJ Sabo and the Afrolicious Crew. Sabo recently moved from New York to Los Angeles, and the Afrolicious brothers have been holding it down in SF from before I left.

We’re also playing with the Grown Kids Radio Crew, who I will be recording a radio show with in Hella Occupied Oakland on Friday, to be aired at a later date!

On Saturday (Oct. 29th) I’ll be a guest on Rosi Reyes’ show on KPFA from 7pm to 9pm, before heading over to Little Baobab for my regular 5th Saturday duties. Tune in or drop by!
