Hey Folks:
AFropolitan is the name of the latest CD from Derrick N. Ashong & Soulfege and it’s BANGING!
I don’t say this just because I had the opportunity to lend my vocals to a track or even becase BONE Entertainments own Stix Bones is the drummer for Soulfege; but I say this because it’s an awesome album.
Afropolitan offers listeners dance tunes, old school reggae and world music that appeals to an array of musical tastes. The creative forces behind Afropolitan are Derrick N. Ashong also known as D.N.A and Johnathan M. Gramling; Harvard graduates who are passionate about politics and music.
In Derrick’s words…
The album is called “AFropolitan” and it makes a musical & lyrical statement about an identity that not only applies to me and my bandmates, but to many of our friends, fans & peers around the world. It’s an identity that transcends traditional boundaries of culture, ethnicity, race & nationality. If you’ve never heard the term before you can get an insight into what it means by reading this powerful essay written by my friend taiye selasi – a Ghanaian-Nigerian-American literary genius who you will be hearing much more of in the not-too-distant future.
Don’t take our word for it… check out “Afroploitan” here and get a taste of the tunes.
