A little tribute to the music of the amazing Dorothy Ashby. She is one of the most inspiring musicians to me and her talent, boldness and message will last forever.

M’Boom was an American jazz percussion ensemble founded in 1970 and led by one of my favourite and smartest drummer of all time, Max Roach.
Although originally a sextet in 1970 over the years the group had as many as ten members in the ensemble but the core of Roy Brooks, Joe Chambers, Omar Clay, Max Roach, Warren Smith and Freddie Waits appear on most of the recordings released by the group.
In 1971 M’BOOM performed live during a Soul Train episode.
Worth watching ! HERE ( chapter 6 & 8 )
Hey folks let’s start 2012 with Sir Herman Poole Blount, aka Sun Ra (R.I.P.) .
I came across his music in the late 90′s during a class of contemporary music at University in Bologna and i can say that my approach to the music changed drastically from that moment on.
To better understand what i’m talking about i strongly suggest to watch Space Is the Place, the 82-minute movie released in 1974, directed by John Coney, written by Sun Ra, Joshua Smith and features Sun Ra and his Arkestra. A soundtrack for the film was released on Evidence Records.

2011 has been a very Afrocentric year for me. Lots of amazing unknown music, life experiences and the incredible studio collaboration with Funk legend Fred Wesley and Trinidad-born poet/singer Anthony Joseph.
2012 will be a very busy year for me ; Mop Mop 4th studio album is to be released, new gigs around the Globe to be announced soon and many many more news. So stay in touch with me and the Mop Mop community.
Thanks everybody for all your love, support and appreciation. Thanks to all the amazing musicians and friends who collaborate with me. Thanks to my Family and to my Love to be always with me.
