Last night I was kicking it with Tank Girl and besides blowing my mind with her super big heart and super sweet smile, we had some awesome conversations.... including the idea that maybe people have more than one soul mate. I know, a radical thought.... but if that were the case, what are the implications?
Would that make falling in love with more than one person legit? And how many soul mates do we get? 3? 10? 50?
And this of course brings up the conversation of reincarnation and karma.
I personally believe that we meet the same cast of characters in every life, though maybe under different incarnations! And those we love, we will always love, again and again until forever ends.
But I don't know anything about love, so don't believe anything I say anyway.
Well I know a little..... like the fact that its love that gets me up in the morning, and motivates me to do anything: Love for my friends, love for my creative endeavors, and love for YOU! ♥♥♥
Ok, enough. :)
Tonight, I'll probably stop by the Santa Monica pier for some good live music, and then I'm off to Afro Funke'! Also highly recommend is the "Middleground" party cause they'z my homies!
Last Thursday at AFRO FUNKE' was truly a lovely evening. DJ MZA came through to celebrate the release of his new "Soundscape" CD to a crowd heavy with fans. The dancers were out in full force so the floor was non stop dance circles keeping everyone on point.
This week welcome a full live Afrobeat tour de force - CHICAGO AFROBEAT PROJECT - for their first time out at AFRO FUNKE' plus resident DJs Jeremy Sole & Glenn Red will be holding it down!! We will also be hosting the official after party for the Santa Monica Pier
show of SERGENT GARCIA!

AFRO FUNKE’ LIVE PRESENTS
CHICAGO AFROBEAT PROJECT
Afrobeat cannot stand still. As the genre’s tempting sounds continue a resurgence across the globe,Chicago Afrobeat Project (CAbP) remains true to its original vision of breathing the intensity of Chicago ’s rich music scene into the infectious sounds of afrobeat. Rather than become caricatures of the genre, CAbP slips a reverent nod to the tradition while delivering an energized originality different from any other band on the afrobeat scene today. At each of its 100+ live performances a year, the group’s frenzied songs hit audiences with a big enough one-two punch to tirelessly knock them onto the dance floor time and time again.
Afrobeat’s range of influences — funk, rock, jazz, afro-cuban, high life and juju music – settle into a hypnotic, dance-compelling pulse at the core of CAbP. The group layers a fiery originality around this core through high-energy rock and experimental jazz. The trance-like grooves that hold the floor in the tradition are pushed to new borders in CAbP’s second and self-produced album, (A) Move to Silent Unrest. In it, the group keeps true to the mix of respect to the tradition and forward-thinking experimentation that shine through in their live performances.
