Afrolicious is gettin' fired up to move forward with an amazing line up of top notch performers. Already this year we have featured a live cumbia band (Very Be Careful) from L.A., DJ, Concerned (formerly NYC, just relocated to SF) Percussionists' Rene Flores and Baba Juru, MC's Iggy Mon, and Krown Prince.
This coming week we are honored to welcome back to the Afrolicious scene J.Boogie and his incredible DJ skills and wonderful vibes. J.Boogie is an accomplished producer, DJ, radio persona, and all around hip cat. His remixes over the last couple years have been insane, working with the likes of Nickodemus, Vieux Farka Toure, Romanowski, DJ Zeph, and Mark Farina ( to name a few) and has collaborated with such artists as Lyrics Born, Zion I, Crown City Rockers, etc. Lookout for a new album sometime in the new year.
Also lookout in the next couple weeks as we are bringing in some deeeeeeeeep talent from the Apple. Thursday February 4th we will be featuring Greg Caz, you may know him from his incredible mixes entitled Brazilian Beats Brooklyn (Mr.Bongo Records) He has been diggin' music and records for a long long while and has a tremendous amount of knowledge and music that he has been offering to the NYC scene and world for years. This is actually his SF debut so help us give him an extra warm welcome to the bay.
The following week we are very pleased to announce Afrolicious party in conjunction with Wax Poetics, and Fania will be hosting the official Bay Area record release party for Joe Cuba’s El Alcalde Del Barrio album coming out on Fania Records. This release is scheduled for February 23, 2010 and commemorates one-year after the passing of this Latin legend. New York’s Chico Mann (Antibalas) will be performing a live set of Joe Cuba’s songs including the international hits “Bang Bang” and “El Pito (I’ll Never Go Back to Georgia),” and many other diverse numbers that spanned Cuba’s illustrious career.
So as you can see, just the next few weeks promise to offer a whole lot to the SF Mission scene provided by the Afrolicious crew!
Respect to you all and catch you on the dance floor
