Some youth conscious music
on August 4, 2008
Category: Music
I came across some new music over the weekend from a band called, Soulfège (’sOl-fezh) which goes under the name “Afropolitan Fusion” which I assume explains the mix of high energy AfroJazz, Hip-Hop and Reggae along with the conscious lyrics. They have recently released their second album “TakeBack TheMic” which was recorded in Accra, Boston, NY, LA & Kingston and can therefore be safely described as “global” as the music physically takes in all these locations.. The band is led by Ghanaian Ashong (see YouTube clip below) who also writes a blog at DNA - it’s a blog baby.

What a vivid and inspiring take on social engagement. Way to go ASHONG of Soulfege… It’s not about this or that but What IS! Dualism and our hangups therein perpetuate those things that bring suffering… Stepping outside the box here, soulfege might be the answer to a glimpse of that reality for millions!
