TAKE ME AWAY FAST - Trailer with DJ FRANK
Been contemplating Africa, whites, and blacks as I write an article I called the Unfinished Migrations of Music, Race and the African Diaspora. This piece will be akin to the ethno article on Paul Simon’s Graceland by Louise Meintjes. Gotta get this thing done. Been getting signs and messages to push me along.
Tonight, and today’s my mom’s birthday (LOVE YOU MOM!), I invited myself to hang with BK’s Frenchie Davis (exotic/fantasy poet). We are going to First Saturday at Brooklyn Musuem featuring DJ Frank and his VOODOO FUNK. How perfect!! He spent 3 yrs living in “Conakry, the capital of Guinea and from there traveled various other countries in the region, namely Sierra Leone, Ghana and Benin [diggin in the crates] to find as many vintage African records as possible.”
