I am the father of Bassist/Music Director/Composer/Producer Dustin Moore. This site is an fan site for all Mulatto and Real Music fans.
In many ways I feel like a "parent" of Mualtto. My goal was to promote real music and that is what Mulatto is doing. Yeah! Welcome to our Dreamland!! Support Real Muzik!!!!
Suprise treat!On Wednesday, July 25th, at the Grammy Camp, Mulatto members Dustin Moore and Margis Miles performed with one of Mulatto's favorite bands, Earth, Wind, and Fire. This was a dream come true. Songs performed were Boogie Wonderland, Let’s Groove Tonight, Shining Star, and September. Participants had clinics with EWF musicians and singers, open discussion and forum, and then a big show on stage with the entire EWF Band. See attached photo with Dustin Moore performing with EWF Bassist Verdine White. It was an awesome jam session. One day I would expect a Mulatto EWF concert! They just loved Dustin & Margis and the real music Mulatto is doing. Mulatto is the REAL DEAL!
I love this picture because Markay Fairley was not behind the keys and came out to rock with Luke, Diondre and Dustin. It was a great moment in Mulatto history!
