AFROPUNK

... the other Black experience

So what was the last few shows you went to? Big small any kind of music. I wanna hear about it.



Yesterday my sis and niece and nephew invited me along with them to 2009 UCLA Reggae Jazz Festival, the first day is "Jam Day" now.

I really had an awesome time (there were tons of young and some older black folks and you know what a lot of "afropunk-esque" type of brothers and sisters).
Especially Ayo, Leela James, De La Soul and yes the amazing one herself, Erykah Badu.

Before that......I jammed hard and danced all night til I was in pain and out of breath at Hepcat show on my birthday last year!!!! Ya'll must see them live at least once if you into funky rhythm dance all night old school ska. Excellent music, excellent songs, excellent peformance.

That month before I went to the Blackest of The Black show. See my page for a ore complete description...........funny thing about that name is I doubt I saw more than a few Black people there but yes I know the black is for Black Metal. Ha ha. It was still a lot of fun and loud. I think I'd go next time just to see what other bands open for Danzig. And this time I finally got to see what Dimmu Borgir is all about. Quite fun show and GD and his bad attitude self really sounded good onstage with his band.

And the next show I'm going to in June is Raphael Saadiq, Femi Kuti, and Santogold. Whee!!
