The Relatives - David Rubenstein Atrium Lincoln Center - January 10, 2013 : The Relatives performed at David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center on January 10, 2013. Two years earlier In 2011, the Relatives performed at Lincoln Center Out of Doors opening for Mavis Staples. The Relatives were formed in 1970 by gospel singer Rev. Gean West and his brother Tommy in Dallas, TX, The Relatives cut three genre-bending singles during their decade-long run. After a decade of musical proselytizing at local clubs, hotels and auditoriums and touring the gospel circuit with the likes of the Staple Singers, Mighty Clouds of Joy and the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, The Relatives disbanded in 1980. The Relatives music fuses traditional Gospel, Soul, and Psychedelia. Their complete 70’s singles were released by Heavy Light Records in 2009, at which time the band reunited for their first performance in thirty years. Their live shows feature stunning vocal interplay that recalls classic-era Temptations, Sly & the Family Stone, and Funkadelic. The group is now touring and displaying true showmanship. Rarely has a Lincoln Center Atrium audience been so energized and happy. During the Lincoln Center concert, at the band's urging, practically everyone stood and danced with smiles. Four decades after their start and 30 years after their breakup, The Relatives are back! The group is about to release at full length album titled "The Electric Word". The Reverend, of course, considers the resurrection nothing short of a miracle. “I just felt like it was some of God’s doing. I felt like couldn’t nobody else do this but God. Man, that’s been 35 or 40 years ago. I never would have dreamed that it was gonna happen like this, but it did. I just put it in God’s hands.” For more information on The Relatives, visit their website at: http://www.therelativesgospel.com/ http://heavylightrecords.com/the-relatives/ Background information source - Thomas Fawcett www.heavylightrecords.com

Pharaoh's Daughter - Sephardic Music Festival - Le Poisson Rouge - December 20, 2011 : Pharaoh's Daughter is a six member band that blends Jewish music with world beat. Founded and led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Basya Schechter, the band plays swirling Hasidic chants, Mizrachi and Sephardi folk-rock, and spiritual stylings filtered through percussion, flute, strings and electronica. Their music reflects Klezmer, Middle Eastern, Indian, and Balkan influences Pharaoh's Daughter's sound has been cultivated by Basya's Hasidic music background and a series of trips to the Middle East, Africa, Israel, Egypt, Central Africa, Turkey, Kurdistan and Greece. She began retuning her guitar to sound like a cross between an Arabic oud and a Turkish saz, with harmonic minor melodies, and odd time signatures For more information, visit Pharaoh's Daughter's website at: www.pharaohsdaughter.com

Ondatropica/Wil-Dog El Gavachillo/Sergio Dias - Lincoln Center Out of Doors - Damrosch Park - July 27, 2012 : Ondatrópica, Wil-Dog El Gavachillo and Sergio Dias perform as part of the Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival at Damrosch Park on July 27, 2012. Los Irreales De Ondatrópica, created by British ex-pat, Colombia-based Will Holland (aka Quantic) and Colombian musician Mario Galeano (of Frente Cumbiero), as a commission for the Cultural Olympiad, made its U.S. debut at Out of Doors. The supergroup, which just completed a new CD at the legendary Discos Fuentes studios, showcases masters of Colombian music such as Michi Sarmiento and Alfredito Linares and rising stars of the next generation, as it draws from cumbia, salsa and the many sounds of Afro-Colombia. Ozomatli's Wil-Dog Abers lays down his bass, dons a hat and transforms himself into alter ego "El Gavachillo" for a punk-rock inspired take on a sousaphone Mexican band, joined by the band Banta Vienta de Oro, in their New York debut. Sergio Dias is a Brazilian rock musician, composer and guitar player. He is best known for his work with the band Os Mutantes in the late 60s and 70s.
