About Me |
|
| Family from Maji- ya Chai, Tanzania, St. Louis, MO & Chicago, IL. I’ve been working for over a decade weaving together mediums of theater, dance, music, and spoken word using improvisation. My first love is the first instrument – the voice – from which all other music flows. I like to improvise with other vocalists, beat-boxers, dancers, poets, mc's & musicians. My chief interest is to use music & myth to bridge the divide between Africans & African-Americans - and then divides among all peoples. | |
My Interests |
|
| Myth, herbal & non-invasive healing, music, learning swahili | |
I'd like to meet:imaginative, justice-minded people: music lovers, artists, folks who know about creative & sane self-management/making new markets for their work |

Music:ritual, acoustic, indegenous musics from around the world, folk & community musics, hip hop, dusty blues, soul, jazz/free improvisation, sountracks, some rock, old country where it meets the blues, fife & drum corps, space-age exploration. |
