Alternate Vision

For too long I have been musically deprived. All that craving for pure clean, infectious live music was building up. Today, I was sated beyong belief. One of my all time favorite music to dance to - afrobeat. Even better, we were treated to live,brazilian influenced, afro-beat at the shadow lounge this evening.

Mifune, an up and coming afrobeat band from Cleveland, heavily influenced by Antibalas. I haven't danced like that in a long time. I could've gone on for a few more hours. Before that we heard Omega love -Nu Jazz mostly.

If your into afrobeat and can make it, you don't wanna miss the afrofest 2006 at the end of this month. Highlight there being kokolo (music on website is worth checking out).

The night ended with DJ selecta spinning some killer world music (house and hip-hop), the kind that keeps you on the floor till your kicked out, which we almost did.
