This special all-female-cast assembled by the ALMA NYC crew, is
sure to bring the sexiest sounds we’ve heard yet to this ongoing
“Neo-Brasilian Fusion†monthly. And if you’ve been following this
authentic homegrown ruckus of a night at Sullivan Room (even if it’s
just by photo galleries), you know that DJ True and Miller Cruz have
blazed the place with the hottest guests in the game. We expect the
ladies; Jeannie Hopper, Mia Friday, Lola, Jenifa Mayanja and a host
of musicians to create a total meltdown. They will be gracing us with
a stellar musical playlist that will include Brazilian, Latin, World, Afro
and soulful house beats accompanied by a crew of the fiercest
female musicians in the NYC Latin scene.
Jeannie Hopper is best known for her long running radio show
“Liquid Sound Lounge†on WBAI FM NY and her independent record
label of the same name (LSL). You can catch her DJ’ing around NYC
and globetrotting all over the world bringing the underground scenes
together as a musical ambassador and cultural activist.
Mia Friday’s music focuses on the B-sides of records, searching for
those danceable songs that have been passed over. Her unique style
has earned residences at the “Tea Partyâ€, “Ubiquita†and guest
appearances at “The Shelter†and “Flowers in Da Attic†and most
recently the “Sacred Rhythm†Party at Love.
Lola’s interest in how dancers danced and how DJs selected music
inspired her to tell her friend Eric “E-Man” Clark, then an up-and-
coming DJ who had just launched “Bang the Partyâ€, that she wanted
to try her hand at DJing. The rest, as they say, is history. She’s
founded “Deep See†with E-Man and “Beyond†at APT and now rocks
dancefloors around the globe.
The world Jenifa grew up in, Uganda, was a mixture of ancient
traditions/folklore, nature and the funky sounds of disco, reggae, &
soukous. Since 1995, she’s been living In New York City as a
Musician/DJ/Singer achieving respect in her profession and doing
what she loves most, which reflects in her recordings and DJ sets at
“Bu-Makoâ€.
Please Note: This celebration is dedicated to women, this does not
mean that it is just for female attendees. What it means is; if you
have a special woman in your life and you want to show her love,
honor and respect…BRING HER!!! ;o)
