Well seems there are some problems on Radio Campus Tours blog in the morning...ok let's put it like this my friends, first a gig report, last night, after watching Dave Chappelle show (making fun of R Kelly dirty habits and videos, really great) I went straight to the Bateau Ivre for a "groove session", Permis de Jouer it's called (licence to perform or licence to be on stage, set by PIMANT organisation) 2 bands only and I thought I had missed one, no, got both! First it was COBBLESTONES, a mix of 70ies soul funk and blues rock, let's say, great rythm section (bass and drums)..and they had a very enthousiastic fan, Luigi(for people who know about borrowing, let's say renting movies), and then, there was..not NWA but RYTHMETIX, a mix of afrobeat, funk and "festif" spirit but in a good way, a great rythm section there either(horn section,bass, keyboards, drums and percussions are in the line up), beside one reggae tune (for the ladies, yes gael that's what he said) and a mbalax (or close to it) song for one of their friends, it was "Lagos vibe", playing according to the ghost of the Black President( which is FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI for those who don't know)...big evening really!
What else, some news from the front, the famous trial with Kemi Seba and Patrick Haram will take place April 25th, and interesting news about Bobby Hutton death(for beginners, he was shot April 6th, 1968 after a failed ambush ordered by Mr Eldridge Cleaver, he was the first member, besides Huey P Newton and Bobby Seale, of the Black Panther Party For Self Defense), a police officer testified that in fact, both Eldridge & Bobby were beaten , and someone shot him (for no reason it seems as they had no guns) point blank in the head, then other officers started shooting at the body, so a deliberate gunning down...any way, are you really amazed by this?
