FELABRATION 2016
Holy Forest w/ Amayo’s Fu Arkestra, Master Drummer JoJo Kuo, Maiji Garcia and Fela! Dancers
“Wild, restless and boundary pushing. Diaspora music for the digital age… seamless mash ups that open the ears for anyone looking to really have their ears opened. Wild, restless and boundary pushing, this smoking date comes at you from so many directions at once that before long you’ll be delightfully dizzy not knowing or caring which end is up. Check it out.”
