Tamar Smithers talked about the decision to include CFAC’s Hip Hop Cipher to the Journey Through Music of the African Diaspora this month.
Thursday’s show was a great example of blending Hip Hop Culture into the local music scene, and specifically the Connective Corridor.

Tawanna Shaunte brought the heat from Jackson, MS for the Black History Month kick-off concert at the Community Folk Art Center (CFAC).
Singer/songwriter Tawanna Shaunte and her band: Bill Perry, Jr. (keys), Brady Watt (bass) Xayvon Jamison (drums) pounced on the opportunity to make their mark on Friday. Shaunte brought vocal tenacity and the band generated almost enough soulful heat to warm up the entire Connective Corridor. The memorable jam session served as the kick-off for Black History Month.
In case you missed it, get a taste of their southern-style jazz/blues nouveau in the clip below.
The show was another effective collaboration between CFAC and WAER-FM 88.

Deannah called out the crowd
Rochester-based reggae collective Noble Vibes brought the heat for their first Syracuse performance last night inside The Community Folk Art Center’s Black Box Theater. The group promoted their version of musical oneness and played cuts from their new CD “On The Radio.” They also remixed in some reggae classics such as “No Woman, No Cry” and “Murder She Wrote.” Hopefully they will make a return visit soon so more people can catch their conscious party.
Noble’s next performance will be at Rochester’s Temple Bar & Grille.
The show was the re-start for CFAC’s Journey Through Music of the African Diaspora: Women in Music series.
