Afro-Punk!!! "The Other Black Experience"




 


The Afro-Punk Festival is the ultimate celebration of freedom. Held in Brooklyn, the goal of the fest was to create a space for Black people needing to express their life experiences through Punk, Rock, and Alternative music. It now attracts Blacks world-wide and embraces Folk, Soul/R&B, Blues, Jazz, and Hip-Hop.  But, make no mistake, narrow definitions and small-mindedness is strictly prohibited.
Most impressive to me, Afro-Punk has become the introductory stage for many cutting-edge musical acts like Memphis' young "Bluesician," Valerie June and Nashville's sensual songstress, Kandace Springs.  For music and culture enthusiasts, this is a "gotta be there" event. 

This year, the two-day fest will be held on August 23-24th. See ya in Brooklyn!!
 
Sing Kandace!

 
 
Until we rendezvous...
 
Peace!!

    This song is AMAZING!!! I cannot believe I am just now hearing this song almost four months after it has been posted. Did you go to the festival? How was it? I'm going to have to check out Kandace's material, in general. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
