They played a wide variety of musical styles.

This is what happens when you write posts after 2am! But as I said, it's not a definite list. I'm hoping other people will comment and add their own lists of artists to look out for.

I used to DJ weddings and I would play someone like Janelle Monae, Kristina, or the like and folks get open. I have used cats like Kravitz and Martin Luther to blend into other songs (big up to Afrika Bambaata and Kool Herc for the ideas and influences). <br /><br />Its funny because Bambaata and Herc StILL do this (please go to a jam they are playing ). I don't konw what happened from that point on. <br /><br />but until we start to really, really value our music, we will always leave folks like Kravitz, Monae, Tracy Chapman, and others in the dust. I think that is a tragedy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205384167481897308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689654975245458947.post-64785612369762650922009-05-12T07:14:00.000-07:002009-05-12T07:14:00.000-07:00Wow, I had never heard of Natalie before and it's ...Wow, I had never heard of Natalie before and it's so fascinating to see/hear her spin on Korean pop songs (of all things!) - very unique, it's so nice to see black artists doing something <I>different</I> and <I>innovative</I>.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067322036695571575noreply@blogger.com
