Sonic Diaspora celebrates 3 years of connecting people to the sounds of Africa and its vast diaspora! Starting in Chicago at the Butterfly Social Club in May 2011, the Sonic D concept has spread and the team has grown.  In name or in spirit, the party has been in DC, Philly, Brooklyn and elsewhere as the Sonic DJs travelled and reached new audiences. Supporters have included Chief Boima & Geko Jones (Dutty Artz),DJs Beto & Ushka (iBomba), Maracuyeah, DJ Underdog, Jah Sonic, Ben Arsenal and Mr. Femstar (WorldTown), DJ Senyo (Swenka), Tropicalismo, DuiJi 13, DrewCool, Record Breakin’ Music, and more!

In commemoration and commitment to the concept (connecting people to the sounds of the African world), the Sonic Diaspora DJs put together a 97 minute mix that takes listeners on a journey across 4 continents and innumerable cultures.

Itzi Nallah (https://soundcloud.com/itzinallah) gets things going with an eclectic mix futuristic, house, Afrobeat vibes and more. The newest Sonic DJ, Punchaushen (https://soundcloud.com/punchuashen), takes us to his home, South Africa. His blend of township sounds will have you moving uncontrollably. Itch 13 (https://soundcloud.com/mritch13) reminds us how important the Caribbean is as a connector of peoples, cultures, and sounds. Then afroqbano (https://soundcloud.com/dj-afroqbano) explores deep and hypnotic rhythms stretching from Brazil to Réunion Island, including some of his latest remixes.  Finally, Brotha Onaci (https://soundcloud.com/brotha-onaci) closes with a small sampling of music meant to liberate your body and uplift your soul. 

Enjoy this mix as we say Happy 3rd Anniversary to Sonic Diaspora! Big s/o to Beshou (@LaBeautifulMess on Twitter)  & Kate Bomz (@KateBomz on Twitter) who have contributed greatly to the Sonic D family. Most importantly, thanks to YOU for showing so much support over these last 3 years. We look forward to bringing you more Sonic goodies as we move forward!

Some years ago I had the joy and pleasure of interviewing Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith of the Agape International Spiritual Center. It was that interview that introduced me to this talk. As I say quite vividly in the intro of the talk, this was the beginning of the transformation of my life. It has been for so many people as well. I will also say, this is quite possibly the only place this talk still exists. But I meet people everyday who I know would benefit from it. So here it is again for your spiritual literacy unfoldment. Listen with an open heart and mind and see what unfolds for you.

Love + Light,
