Photos: Tamar-kali vs. Jean Grae–3/28/09
Two powerful women tore up Santos back in March. Yeah, Tamar-kali and Jean Grae. After seeing their individual sets, I couldn't help but wonder why these two aren't better known. Both are really engaging performers. One of the things I would've liked to have seen was more collaboration between the two. They did one number [...]
Boldaslove.us compilation update
First, I want to thank everyone who submitted music for consideration. There’s so much good music being made out there, but at the end of the day, so tough decisions had to be made. That said, I tried to pack as much music onto one compilation as Amazon.com would allow. Their limit is 74 minutes [...]
Listening Post + Weekend preview: Tamar-Kali vs. Jean Grae
Looks like Santos is the place to be on Saturday night. It'll be good to see these two women: The much slept-on MC Jean Grae and the extraordinary vocal talents of singer/songwriter/bandleader Tamar-kali.

3 Day Countdown to Afropunk 2008
It’s July, so it must be time for the Afropunk Festival. My hat’s off to James Spooner and Matthew Morgan for the 10 days of music, film and skating that they’re about to present from July 4 thru July 13. It’s pretty massive: Nearly 40 bands 15 films a skate park featuring 30 pro BMX [...]

Organizing the festival is Brian Tate who is, among [...]
