Diasporic

Dream or Reality?

About Me

Diaspora:
a. A dispersion of a people from their original homeland.
b. The community formed by such a people
As a band, Diasporic is looking to expand upon the limitless possibilities of the musical spectra. Funky grooves, emotional content, and passionate poetry are embedded in the threads that intertwine with this eight piece ensemble. Frontmen Shorti C and BLAXSMITH push to create a timeless plethora of lyrics engaging the listener to confront the confines of the monotonous daily routine of life from the ghetto to the "burbs" and beyond. The rhythm section, composed of Rudy Roux (bass) Ry Dog (guitar) and D-Madness (drums), challenge the status quo of the music connoisseur by stirring together mind bending rhythmic motion guaranteed to gratify the novice to master musician. Coupled with The Brother's Strange (Charles Medaris sax and Johnny Banks trumpet) the crew capitalizes on frequencies that soothe the soul & warm the heart. With the release of their debut album "Mass Appeal" Diasporic explores the musical universe planet by planet. The water's fine... "Come on In."
