Well take a look at the madness:
-It's officially fall and I'm officially falling for you!
-nervous for a phone call like jr high all over again
-withdrawlssssssssssss! too many withdrawls at once!! like fire on my skin. banana's i tell you!!!
-"distracted / attracted / heart hyjacked / getting it on like a jacket /as a matter of fact / going bananas for a peach kinda racket"
-I want to live in your pocket!
-Visit me in my dreams!
So with all that, I guess I had to repost this song again today:
As for your nightlives tonight..... it's Thursday so that means Afro Funke' y'all!!
This week we have a fantastic DJ down from SF who we have been wanting to get in the room for quite awhile plus a totally cutting edge live kora & and trumpet combo direct from Senegal and Germany ! Plus there is an early evening fundraiser from one of AFRO FUNKE'S favorite collaborators!

ABLAYE CISSOKO & VOLKER GOETZE
live
Today’s cross-cultural fusions often transcend both geography and genre, and whether it was fate or design that brought together Ablaye Cissoko and Volker Goetze, it is the listener who ultimately benefits. Despite any cultural barriers that separated them, Cissoko, the Senegalese griot singer
and traditional West African 21-stringed kora player, and Goetze, the German-born, New York-based trumpeter discovered they had much in common, both musically and personally. Their commonalities can be heard on Sira, which is an album that reaffirms the maxim that music is the universal language. They appear tonight as part of their first USA tour together.
#2 Album, CMJ World Music Chart
"5 stars! Their serene dialogue, inspired by tradition and inventing a
new vocabulary at the same time, is both thrilling and soothing." -
Mondomix France
"Cross-cultural fusion at its most sublime; Cissoko's keening vocals
and cascading kora underpin much of the album, with Goetze weaving
delicate yet sturdy lines (on trumpet) when inspiration strikes and
Cissoko responding in kind...Delightful, mysterious, and indeed,
ground breaking." - Jazzwise UK
“The music on this album is a revelation.” Songlines UK
