I was in Bermuda recently for a gig with some buddies. After our soundcheck and a lunch that they prepared for us, we noticed a grand piano just to the end of the hall. My buddy Carlos walked over and began to play and James joined in on the fun. I caught a little of it and here it is!

Misty – Impromptu Performance
December 9th, 2010Shout Out!
November 24th, 2010I’ve been meeting a lot of local hip hop artists at our shows. There will be video coming soon that will highlight some of these artists to show you what hip hop looks like in Peru. The people I’ve been meeting have some very strong opinions on the state of hip hop. These views and a few performances are all coming up really soon. Keep checking the site for more!
AFAR AND HIP HOP IN PERU!
November 21st, 2010
AFAR workshop on hip hop in Trujillo, Peru
What’s up everybody? It’s really been a while since I’ve last posted about AFAR and our travels. We were recently invited to Peru to do our instructional workshops and concerts at the Bi-National Centers, where people are given an opportunity to come and learn English. This trip has been a little different, and easier, in that almost everyone that we come across are either learning English or have become very fluent in English.
N’Dambi Rehearsal – D’Angelo’s Lady
August 22nd, 2010We were in Los Angeles rehearsing for our show at The Blue Note in Japan! Check out the vid!
Angie B Takes Us Back!!
July 23rd, 2010One day before our show in Lund, Sweden we were all hanging in Angie’s room when she pulled out her laptop and began to show us videos from her days as Angie B… a rapper/singer with the group “The Sequence”. It’s sad to me because this was one of the first female rap groups, yet they are almost never mentioned when conversations of hip hop and history take place. They were right there along with the Sugar Hill Gang but get no love!
Check out the vid and youtube “The Sequence”.
Catching Up – Gothenburg, Sweden
March 2nd, 2010Okay, this is a catch up post!!!

My New Boss - Angie Stone - Photo by Dave Ellis
Hey guys! For those of you that don’t know I’ve recently joined Angie Stone’s band and I have been doing shows with her all over the US. It’s been a great experience and as of Monday 02/22/10, it’ll become an experience that we’ll take over seas to Europe! We’ll be visiting Sweden, London, Norway, France, and Poland over a three week period.
I’m very excited about this opportunity and another chance to see parts of the world that I’ve only seen in books or heard about in the movies! As usual, I’ll try to blog as much as possible and post as many pictures as I can. This will be a great adventure! Stay tuned!
