On August 27, Washington D.C.-based singer/songwriter KUKU, BBE recording artist Siji, and singer/songwriter and guitarist Sparla Swa will take the stage at one of DC's best venues for live music within the U Street corridor, DC9 Nightclub.
On this night, three multilingual Yoruba musicians will bridge the gap between their West African culture and their adopted American culture. They will share original songs and stories from their respective music projects to an audience that will range in age from 21 to 60, the majority being 1st and 2nd generation from the continent, as experienced in the artists' many live performances in various venues around the US and abroad. A DJ will play West African-inspired rhythms of soukous, afrobeat, reggae and soul.
This is the fourth installment of a series that started at New York City's S.O.B.'s. This event continues to build a loyal fan base as the emerging pan-African movement of 2nd generation and African Americans are becoming increasingly politically astute and unified. By bringing together music and culture, professionals and a rapidly growing independent music scene, Yoruba Acoustic Soul provides for a wonderful experience for patrons and musicians. This event will continue at larger venues in the future with additional performers. All three performers currently have a fan base inside the D.C. metropolitan area, as well as the east coast.

Introducing solSource's New Era Attack. Straight-up hip-hop: "party-with-us" lyrical fencing, truth inspired stories and wit, colliding with hardcore crate-diggin samples, and unique styles providing for a memorable experience. Enter LoudMinority Recording Artists Tanya Morgan (3 lyrically skilled, funny dudes with the name that throws you off and pays homage to the ladies) who have a video currently in rotation on MTV Jams (who renigged on this tour support here) , Che Grand, someone us grown folks can relate to, which he calls "human rap music" with its many faces of live experience, Mello-D & The Rados, a suprisingly refreshing artist who plays the horn and doesn't perform without his live band, and 16 year-old hyperactive rap prodigy Emoni Fela. All of these artists should be on your radar - if you can remember what you used to love about hip-hop...IT LIVES. Watch the solSource team partying like crazy...
