Peace Fam,
Hope all is well. As I type I am up late checkin' out a classic
episode of Soul Train. This one looks like it took place in the
seventies when the fashion and dance moves were bananas! Watching this
is definitely an inspiration. I see nothing but beautiful people who
were fearless in give their bodies over to the music (the men actually
moved their hips and the women actually danced like dancers and not
strippers). I hear nothing but soulful grooves with incredible
arrangements, powerful voices and live instrumentation. And I feel
nothing but love and admiration for the community and culture that this
show was based on. With all that said, Soul Train has inspired me to
continue to put my best foot forward and do this music and party thang
to the fullest! In the month of March, I am honored to be involved
with multiple events where the sights and sounds mentioned above are
alive and well.
First up, Thursday, March 13th, Libation features a special live
performance by a woman that I greatly admire, Lady Alma. Not only can
she sang, but her live performances are other worldly! Her track with
4Hero, "Hold It Down" was my anthem for about a year.
On Friday, March 21st, ALMA NYC celebrates DJ True's birthday with the
"Deeper Than Disco" edition. DTD was a hugely popular radio show that
True did for over eight years on WHCR FM and partly on Sirius Satellite
Radio. True is one of the most eclectic dj's I know, so be ready to
hear him, Miller Cruz and guest Manny Santana (Home Party) spin
neo-brazilian fusion and beyond.
As many of you know March is the month of Miami's Winter Music
Conference. This will be my fourth year going and will be my busiest.
Not only are we bringing Libation and ALMA to Miami, but I will be
performing live at 4 separate events. Since this message is long enough
I will go into details about those events later this week. You can
still check out the flyers below.
In the meantime...
Be Love, Be Light and Be the Peace You Seek
