This is posted waaaay after the actual interview happened...lol....sorry for the delay!

We had the pleasure of being interviewed by UHURU Radio's AFRICA LIVE program, hosted by Nyabinga Dzimbahwe

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW!!!

After Hurricane Ike came through in 2008...a wonderful string of musical-creative-meetings lead to the creative mashup of  

Freak-in the Frame 

with Ashlei Mayadia, Krystal Austin & Empress Winter, Deon James and John Bullock.   We came together to jam and grow!

"Authentic acoustic is as simple as one can get when describing the five-member group Freak-in the Frame and their habit of “freak-in“ a

melody. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes folk-like, sometimes hip hop, funk, reggae and R&B – but always freaky. Their “freaked” melodies are interactive, improvisational jam sessions, full of vocal layers and instinctual call and responsethat often lead to creating new songs or once-in-a-lifetime renditionsthat are unique to the current environment and mood – a true gift toany witness."

Check out an original poem of Mayadia's that got brought to life with Freak-in the Frame!
