As some may know and a few may have guessed, I, the expresser of all things Soma Mestizo-ish, have been on what one could say a sabbatical from all arts production type of thangs. Hence, unfortunately, a website, very much in need of updating. But I think this lovely E-blast shall suffice.

Now, my lovely co-horts have been up to all kinds of artish mischief:
Richard "Skilah" Gartner has apparently, at least what I've overheard in cafes and bars, become some sort of Yoga God.
DJ Soy Sos, besides rocking the hottest parties, like the "Dirty Ball", had the great pleasure to work on the documentary, "New Muslim Cool". It should air sometime on PBS.
And last but not least, Ketan Bakrania, like, is he in another band, like how many bands does that make it now...forgive me if I'm incorrect, but I think his new musical project is called the "German Shephards". I don't know, ask him when you see him...

Anywhoooo.........................................I digress

Hear yea, come hither...lend me your ear
for a musical whisper...

This Friday, (last minutedness, also part of the sabbatical) June 12th at Your Inner Vagabond, Soma Mestizo and Machete will be dancing and howling through the "burning rings of fire".

Machete' is smoking hot, not to mention,  really great Puerto Rican music, fearturing Ms. Lady Diva-Genja on the vocals. I love to see her sing and enjoy the rare moments when we sing together (if anyone had a chance to see the Machete' Soma combo at one of our Incubator gigs last year, you will know what I mean.) The instrumentation, is none other than members of another group we love, Chai Ba Ba. (Hey, remember the rocking funking parties in Ketan's basement!)

Now, due to Genja's employment, (if the Pens go to game 7, Machete will close the show out, but if not (GO Pens) Machete will open). Either way, I figure if you are on this list, you are a rather cool and flexible person.
