Un Elefant a San Francisco

November 27, 2009 by Boima Tucker

Very very exciting tings a gwan at the Baobab Village!  Soum Bill, the founder of Les Garagistes, is recording his new album in New York and will be making a stop by San Francisco for a one time performance.  We are so lucky to be able to have him perform here in the Bay Area.  I will be djing alongside the great DJ Polo of Reggae Gold SF, and the other Baobab resident DJ’s.   Come get your Zouglou and […]

Internal Border War

October 22, 2008 by Boima Tucker
