Word-Soul-Redbones Edition II

OMG!!!!!! *squeals in excite createment*

ok...well, no, I'm not known to be "starstruck" but this was cause for some excitement.
I got to meet The Awesome Ms Tanya Stephens!!!!!

Mario, TANYA, Davell and I after the show

  the second staging of Tribe Sankofa's "Word-Soul-Redbones edition" at the Redbones blues cafe was every bit as entertaining as i'd hoped with the double whammy bonus of seeing Tanya Stephens performing some of the standards I love from her rep, even bussing a piece of Boom Wuk *YESSS!!!* ***(((Pauses here to acknowledge the awesomeness that is Renee Imani McDonald, dancer extraordinare LOVE seeing her perform)))***, and seeing the awesome Michael-Sean Harris Perform -wait for it- Mountain! this song I LOVE! God hearing it live again was awesome, a shame Kevan wasnt there to play the necessary and very sexy kumina rhythm as accompaniment...then there was his singing wining on the table top *goes full retard in privacy of room*...all in all a splendid show, mad props to le bestie Hanief the group's musical director, and Davell Thompson, who is just a bowl of awesomeness...Special praise to Aldane and Javed, hard to believe my younglings from Ardenne are now out in the world *sniff*

Word Soul...testament to Talent and Artistic energy

A beautiful rendition of sound, of Words...of Music...an outpouring of Soul, of the stories we each share, the pain and anguish of separation the invocation of quid pro quo, the joy and exquisite ecstasy of release, of bodies and minds entwined, words to move you, lower your defenses, the gentle battery of the ocean reducing resilient rocks to meek sated sand, while we feel compelled...to "move wi waist to di bass"...such was the night at Redbones...WORDSOUL SHAT!!!....i enclose a short vid of one of the musical offerings, Althea di Chick Hewitt on lead vocal covering Adele's Rollin' in the Deep backed up by Davell Thompson, Shanique Brown, and Hanief Lallo
