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.

AFAR Master Class on Hip Hop

I’m no longer surprised at just how far hip hop reaches. We’ve traveled to some very remote places in countries that are very socially restrictive only to find that hip hop is alive and well…. and more appreciated than in the United States. I find that other cultures embrace the totality of hip hop, and not the “get rich over night” nature that hip hop has become in the States. Most of the people we meet in other countries frown upon contemporary hip hop and champion old school and golden era hip hop. That’s right up my alley, and it’s definitely up AFAR’s alley. It’s so great to be able to go where the music is appreciated and share our mutual understanding and love.

We met a few hip hop groups in Trujillo, Peru and they happily agreed to perform with us. These guys were great!! Check out a couple of pics from the show:

And what’s a hip hop show without break dancing?

More to come in the next few days!!!

Introducing JayeBerry and THE FEEL

demonterious — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 07:33:34 +0000

Around November 2009, I started getting that feeling. You know that feeling – the one that makes sense out of the tugging on your heart and the churning in your gut. The one that boosts your faith and helps you to believe without a doubt that your works will be fruitful…. yeah that’s the one!

The Feel artist: JayeBerry

I’m a cog in a machine called “The Feel”. We use our gifts and talents to create a fun, memorable, reflective, and encouraging aural and visual experience. Our basic premise is that people relate to what they can feel and that no musical experience should be devoid of substance. No gimmicks, just heartfelt, passionate, creative expression in all that we do.

JayeBerry is The Feel’s first artist and we recently did a video for one of the singles: Bout To Take Mine from the upcoming release entitled “The Paradigm”. We have an incredible team!! Check out some photos from the video shoot.

JayBerry and director Tony R. are getting the shot together for the first scene.

Everybody on the team is hands on and takes a part in all that we do.

Nothing Handed Out... I'm Bout To Take Mine...

We realize that to make it in life, you can’t just sit around and wait on handouts… you have to go out and get it! We’re working hard everyday to push the bounds of music and provide the world with some of the substance that people are starting to miss! Keep your eyes and ears open and ready for THE FEEL!

Peace!
