Mama Labeba

About Me

Singing as a young child fascinated with old records, Mama Labeba (Labeba Alkhattat) began dancing, performing and singing in both school, local Theatre and music productions in Mountain View, California and Meeker, Colorado where she spent time as a youth. A multi-media, performance artist, painter, photographer and videographer, Labeba is also a founding member of the crux art collective/art performance space and gallery based in Chico, California. She recently performed with the Crux art collective in the third production of "evolution of the dreamer," a collaborative multimedia extravaganza, providing vocal and lyrics for the original composition, Ancient family, with Weston Thomson and other local performance artists and visionaries. Other performances include the crux at the Canvas, in San Francisco, The Chico Bio-diesel Collective benefit with Taarka, A show in the flo with Labeba and Stacy, Live at Cafe Flo, with Stacy Schutten, and the HAMM Artist Collectives Winter tour, 2005 in Northern California and opening for Mystic roots - Constant struggle U.S. tour (Chico show). Feeling the vibes upon returning from Jamaica, where Labeba was doing work for an upcoming solo album in collaboration with Jus Goodie, Dj Prophecy and Billy the kid, this past spring Mama Labeba organized a community music and culture event with local artists,friends and visionaries, the first event for conscious wise scribe visions, "celebration of life show," at the Serenity Center featuring Rocker-T and Jah Warrior Shelter Hi-fi, Water truck Sound, Living Alliance of love and Mama Labeba. Moving forward with an intention to sing and create with musicians who share a focus on positive music and healing, Labeba is ready to sing and spread the messages of love, peace and harmony globally, giving thanks for the beauty of life.mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u=7 0103491" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426"
