The BEMBE Experience

As a DANCER and a music LOVER, there are so many events that I attend which make me move (given the DJ and the ambiance they provide). I can truly say this for a fact: BEMBE is one of the FEW parties that actually has me locked in on the dance floor. Now some may not understand nor care to understand the reason behind this event. My good friend, Carlos Mena, started this event while in Oakland to share the sound of music, not only through dance, but through the ancestors. I have been wanting to attend one of these events because I heard such great things about it from Oakland and Miami.

However, as soon as he touched down in Atlanta, it was ON! ThatGyrl Inc's own, Tiffany and DJ Ausar of the Kalakuta show on 89.3 play an integral part in its success. The night came into play and Ausar opened it with a crazy mix of afrobeat, House and Broken Beat (or as he calls it - HouseBroken). The crowd picked up and as soon as Carlos came on, the floodgates opened even more. I do not know what Orishas came into that one space the first night, but it was BANANAS! It was so crazy that I ended up with scratches, bruises AND getting my hair stepped on! YES! By the way, that was NOT in any means for a PR move. When I heard 'The Bright Forest', I LOST IT! You see, many do not understand the reasoning behind this event. I tell folks this: It is not for all to understand if you are not in tune with the ancestors/Orishas. BUT if you are willing to give your ears a chance to experience bliss like NO other, I urge YOU to attend the NEXT one.



Here's a glance of what BEMBE is about:

P.S.- When this comes into town, DO NOT be offended or taken aback if I do not dance with you. Zoned out the ENTIRE evening. Secondly, if there's anyone that I forgot, please forgive me, I am on a high right now STILL. Much respect to you and yours :-)

Much Love!

WMC 2012

So I am MAD late with this post because I am slowly coming down from my HIGH from Winter Music Conference this year. EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that happened for the best came into play and I am thankful to be a part of such an amazing festival.

First and foremost, I want to say Thank You to the following:

Talaia, Soukeyna and Shana - These three right here are the business! Made the trip BOMB from day one! No cattiness, no drama and most importantly, everyone did their own thing and we all managed to meet up at the same place. Memories I shall cherish because you all are my sisters! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Yoli Chisholm - Such a pleasure getting to bond with my sis! I can truly say her wings are bigger and shall continue to immerse herself in positive vibes. Love You bunches, lady and Thank You for letting me do your makeup once again! You ARE FIERCE, baby!

Carlos Mena - This is my brother! Stellar sets during WMC. I mean it! Still mad about not getting that chocolate shake because they were out of Ice Cream. Where they do that at? LOL!

Madam CJ - She is my big sister and has taught me the realness from day ONE! Thank You for making this trip for me hilarious, yet memorable! DARKNESS!!!

Brian Scarlett - One word for you: Allriiiiiight! Always keeping it hundred no matter what.

Amonds Mack and Rodney Williams - One of the first to show me Love and open arms. Without these two, I truly would not be immersed in the scene as I am now. Made me a fierce chick times ten! I love having beautiful men by my side. I Love You with all my HEART!

The TRIBE RECORDS UK CREW (Dean, Kristelle and Matt) - Another banging party this year at The Vagabond. Thank You so much for the Love and keep bringing out the tunes!

The ATL crew - As you know, we did the damn thing and represented! We are a force to be reckoned with. Now we just gotta take it to the next level. Big ups RamonRawsoul, Salah Ananse, Ausar and any others. We are laying it down, folks!

Boddhi Satva - What can I say, brother? You are divine and such an honour to be acquainted with you. Still trying to find video from the dance circle that we were in when you called me out. Keep banging that goodness and by the way - Is that 'Window Seat' out?! HEAT!!!

South African Peeps - THANK YOU DJ FRESH for the Love! I had a blast at the South African Invasion! YOU DID THAT!!!

Djeff Afrozilla - Such a pleasure meeting you. Thank You for the CD and the shirt :)

My Toronto, Australia and London Peeps - Always a pleasure seeing EVERY single one of you! I plan to travel to see you all. Better have something on deck when a sista arrives!

ARE YOU AFRO? CREW - Bring the Afro to the masses and keep pushing! See you in NYC this summer :)

Sabine - I cannot wait to see you! I am so proud of you, sis! Keep climbing and banging those joints, mama!

Laurent and Seydou - It was brief, but fun nonetheless! Thank You, gentlemen!

The Gathering PRESENTS Jamie 3:26

Okay, let me rewind for a minute...

I was in Miami during the Winter Music Conference in 2010 and was introduced to this cat by my good friend, RamonRawsoul. Now usually, I have a slight bias when it comes to certain sounds. I am open-minded for the most part, but some sections of the country have a different perspective of House Music. Jamie represents the Chicago sound which encompasses so many great layers of  that has shaped what we hear in many tracks today. BACK ON POINT: The Shelter Party at The Shelborne - I scooted over to the small room with a few peeps and BAM! This cat was giving me LIFE! I felt like throwing down with some dancers. However, I was developing myself as a dancer and still had a ways to go.

Yeah, so it is suffice to say that this man is the TRUTH!! If you missed him last night, I really dunno what to tell you. He mixed the classics, The Chicago sound, to the newness that we all heard nowadays. Besides Culoe De Song, he is the ONLY one who played 'Let The Sunshine In'. When I heard 'I'm Doing Fine', I LOST IT!!!! Just raw, dirty and FUCKING ridiculous! Thank YOU Kai Alce and RamonRawsoul for bringing the beats and keeping amazing acts coming almost every month. YESSIRR!!!! Enough of me chatting, here are some pictures:


Much LOVE and until the next Gathering...

Salah Ananse's Album Release Party

To say that this individual is amazing is an understatement. I met Salah several years back through the House Scene and it has been suffice to say that he has taken his sound and his energy to another level. In Miami during the Winter Music Conference, he set it off nicely with his own event, Afrique Electrique, which brings all sounds of house together. A fellow ATLIEN - WHAT IT DO, FOLK?!

Some artists on the album: Yoli Chisholm, Miranda Nicole, Masuki Scales, Terrance Downs, Roland Clark and others. Hosted by Jodine Dorce of Jodine's Corner, the event was held at Moods Music of Atlanta. Big ups D-Nice for holding down the sound. The album is available at independent record stores, if you need more info, please feel free to email Salah himself at: salahananse@bellsouth.net

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Salah works with some heavy hitters in not only the Atlanta entertainment scene, but outside of Atlanta as well. This dude is ACE and it is an honor to know him. He is one to give all a chance. If you are ever in the Atlanta area and want to check out some goodness, come by Cafe Circa in the Old Forth Ward area EVERY Sunday!!! Onto the pictures:




CHECK OUT HIS TOP TEN ON TRAXSOURCE: Salah Ananse's Top Ten (April 2012)

Boddhi Satva 'Invocation' Album Review and Interview

PURCHASE 'INVOCATION' through iTunes, Traxsource and other REPUTABLE sites.
SUPPORT THE MUSIC!!! Thank YOU!



Let me just put this out there: Boddhi Satva is one of the MOST humble people I have ever met. Have you ever met someone so humble that you were scared to approach them? That is how I was when I seen this being in Miami a few times during the Winter Music Conference. His spirit is beautiful and blessings be upon him tenfold. Now that I have been acquainted with this individual, I can truly say it is an honor and blessing to have met him. ANYONE have footage from the dance circle that he GOT DOWN in?! A sista is just asking...

I purchased 'Invocation' and I can truly say that this man is the TRUTH!! When I went to the album release party in Miami during Winter Music Conference, I did not know that so much went into this album (Ten years of craft, to be exact). I have been a huge fan of his music for several years (going back to 2006...whatchu know about that?!) when he was on the hip hip/soul tip. For those that doubt his mastery of music, you may want to have a seat and eat a cookie with some milk on the side.

A breakdown of some of my favourite tracks:

From An Other World: For real?! Vikter Duplaix always make a track sound sexy and when you add the Ancestral sounds, the track is oooh wee!! When the single came out, I purchased it and played it over and over and over again.

How Sex Changes Things: A different approach to sound that many may not be accustomed to when hearing Boddhi's tracks. Vocals are key in any House Music track. This track is straight to the point and on it!

Who Am I: When I first heard this track, I could not help moving and getting it IN! So raw and strong from beginning to end. I enjoy the percussion as well on this track! FIRE!!

Ngnari Konon - This is the sound that transformed my sound of Ancestral House times ten. Reminds me of the Central African Republic and the traditional dancers with the garb on. My hips sway and I get down. HEAT!!

Stop Crying - Can we stop with all the HEAT from this album already. Still a banger!!! A real message within this track. Allez Viens, mes amis!

Invocation - Cannot forget the track that starts this album off!! Not to be slept on. Organic, Raw and Original.

The album is just HOT LIKE FIRE! There are VERY few artists whose albums I will buy and this cat I will BUY anything he comes out with.

Congratulations once again, my brother! You deserve it! Much Love to you and see you soon! Here is the interview that I did with him in Atlanta for Tambor Party:



Much <3 all!!
