NEW YEAR'S EVE 2012 PARTY FUNDRAISER | HIP HOP SAVES LIVES | NEGUSWORLD
January 10th is the start of LLamada A play in which Bomba, Salsa and Reggaeton converge to form a llamada/rally cry against the violence and abuse of women and children.
Im so thankful to be providing the percussion for this wonderful theater play which will run for two weeks at the Brooklyn's Iondale Theater. Londale theater is a church located on S.Oxford and it is
where slaves from the underground railroad would come thru that basement in Brooklyn(tours are available). Im crazy happy about performing there for the memory of our African ancestors.
We will be collaborating at Cumbe Dance studio Sunday Jan 6th to have a Bomba y Plena dance class with choreographer Milteri Tucker to promote the Bomba style and the play.

I look forward to working with all of you again in 13 which will be a big year
for all positive musician and entertainers because of the big shift of consciousness that's happening.
We all have a responsibility to spread the positive energy that is natural for us.
I wrote this classic boom bap Indigenous HipHop song as a gift to all of you who gave me the opportunity to shine with you'll. I look forward to working with people that I
haven't worked with as well. Its from the bottom and top of my heart, mind, body and soul.
Feel free to give it to someone that you are thankful for. I am thankful for the courage that you have gave me and the platform that you provided for me
to do my thing. I can't stress it enough how happy I am to be able to make a living being a musician when the music industry is not the same for Conscious music.
But like I always say WE HEAR THOUGH.

Friday, September 7, 2012, 7:00 PM
Tickets: $17.50 Includes complimentary beer or glass of wine; $30 for open beer or wine bar use code "TGSFAMILY" for $5 dollar discount
The 2012 Battle of The Boroughs’ series was one for the records! We began with 524 submissions and narrowed it down to 49 acts with hundreds of artists participating to represent their borough. The incredible diversity of our great city was represented in the varied genres and styles of the performers, in house crowd, and our online audience. In the end, Brooklyn’s own Brown Rice Family prevailed and they were crowned the Ultimate Winner.
Join them in The Greene Space as they perform in celebration of their win in the 2012 Battle of The Boroughs. Brown Rice family will be collaborating with other Battle of the Boroughs participants in celebration of their win at the Ultimate Battle of the Boroughs. They will be performing with Domenica Fossati (Flute) and Peter Patson (Guitar) from Underground System Afrobeat (Brooklyn), Bodoma (Drummer/Singer) from Bodoma Garifuna Cultural Band (Bronx) and Joe Trombino (lead Singer) from The Great Apes (Queens). The band says: “During the Battle of the Boroughs, [Brown Rice Family] discovered many talented musicians with positive energy that we probably wouldn't have met if we hadn't participated, so we decided to collaborate with them at our celebratory event. [Brown Rice Family's] goal is to make a healthy and positive contribution to the arts while continuing to be culturally and musically diverse.”
