Wattup, wattup. I've had a few depressing days recently and good music has uplifted me.

So if anybody wants--shattered or not--to come up to Harlem this week for some FREE music flicks, be my guest:

Tuesday, July 28th, 7:00pm

The definitive film on Fela, the Black President, the creator of Afro-beat and an eye opening account of the political climate of Nigeria at the time.

Friday, July 31st, 7:00pm

On seminal avant-garde composer, singer-songwriter, cellist, and disco producer Arthur Russell.

P.S. If you haven't, go check out SOUL POWER, about the '74 Zaire concert featuring James Brown, The Fania All-Stars, Celia Cruz, BB King, Bill Withers, and more! Playing in indie theaters in NYC. I was depressed when I went to go see it, and, no lie, I came out shouting, "I am, somebody!"
