A BIG THANK YOU

I Aphrosoul wish to give out A BIG THANK YOU for showing up to the 3rd installment of MOJUGBA, your attendance was heartfelt. I also wish to give thanks to DJ Greg Cee of Brooklyn Suns for once again powering the sound. And finally I wish to give thanks to the staff of Bushbaby Bar and Grill for their beautiful space. The night went beautifully as more and more individuals hear about the monthly gathering and what it has to offer. Their was a lovely young lady celebrating her born day, she danced the night away, as we all broke into happy birthday (the Stevie Wonder version of course). I must say it was the highlight of the night, next to the fact that everyone connected and followed along the eclectic musical journey, guided by you know who. It was truly a magical night of dance, music, love, celebration, with the cleansing rain as a backdrop.

The next installment of MOJUGBA! will be FRIDAY, MAY 17TH! at BUSHBABY BAR & GRILL! BROOKLYN! Everyone with a born day during the month of May, COME OUT! SHOW UP! So we may give HOMAGE to YOU, for MOJUGBA, is a Yoruba word meaning, "TO GIVE HOMAGE." We not only GIVE HOMAGE to YOU, but also The Ancestors, The Spirits of Nature, The Elements of The Universe, and to God Almighty. Were it not for The Creator, we all would not be here.

Once again, I thank you all for becoming as well as being a part of something special. And for those of you who have yet to experience MOJUGBA. I know we all have lives to live, and have much better things to do with our time, than coming to see and listen to the message in the music spun by little old me. But there are some of you (not calling any names, nor am I starting anything. Just calling it as I see it), that will break your neck (and your back), going through all kinds of rain, sleet, snow, and gale force winds to get to other parties. AND PAY an arm, a leg, a toe, and a pint of blood to get in. Where there is no food, the drinks are overpriced (and watered down), and DJ Predictability is basically playing from a preordained playlist from so and so's online music site. The music has no feeling, it's just not telling a story, not talking to you, not taking you on a journey.

But there is a place where there is NO COVER, there is FOOD, and it is GOOD for you as well as GOOD to you, the DRINKS are very AFFORDABLE as well as THIRST QUENCHING, and the DJ is not just a DJ, but an ARTISTIC MESSENGER, A GUIDE through the MUSIC. Never spinning from any playlist, but spinning from the HEART, spinning from the SOUL. A beautiful combination of Eclectic Soul Music for your MIND, Flavorfully Good Food to nourish your BODY, Drink Specials to quench your Soul. Culminating in Dance to RELEASE YOURSELF. All I ask that you FREE YOUR MIND, as well as some of your time, and please COME, SHOW UP, TELL A FRIEND, BRING A FRIEND.
