Hiya! AFROBEAT FAMILY AFFAIR review is up now!!! In fact, as the event turned amazingly good I decided to create a dedicated MySpace page: Afrobeat Family Affair . Thank you so much everybody for participating in this affair, I was told by many of you musicians and audience that no party had been that good for years; real, vibrant, something extra-ordinary happened on that night! Shit that's MUSIC! For the only pleasure of sharing it, that's my shit!!! Thanks all again for following on that one! Videos are coming soon in addition to music and pictures.

I don't really like the way music is being businessed now, so businessed it gets polluted, faked, oriented, misrepresented, and 90% of what comes out for sale is just pure shit isn't it?? Why should we musicians accept that?? For the ridiculous amount of money we get from our music???????? Haha!
All my personal projects are homecooking, crafted roots ideas and rough fantasies before all consideration of making business of these... Bad production, illogical ideas, barely sharable personal trips... but it's true music to me. If you feel the same, we need to play together :).
appart from that I sometimes design stuffs & daily deal with the Smithian cause! I'm also amateur of photography, I just bought a LOMO LC-A camera, I think I'm in love :)!
CONTREBANDE!!
