Saturday Matinee – Cimafunk, Raskahuele & Seratones
Erik Alejandro Iglesias Rodríguez, aka Cimafunk, chonks out Afro/Cubano grooves with some hip hop on the side. Nice blend.
L.A.’s Raskahuele from a few years back. (Don’t mind the Toaster, the music gets better).
They’re part rock, part psychadelia, part R&B and part soul, but mostly Seratones is lead singer and guitar player A.J. Haynes. When asked what inspires her, she responded, “Afrofuturism.”
Since tomorrow is Fathers Day, let’s schedule some quality Sitting-On-The-Porch-With-The-Dogs time. Have a great weekend.

Bring It On Home, Sonny Boy Williamson II (1963) This classic was written by Willie Dixon and recorded in 1963 (with Matt “Guitar” Murphy) but wasn’t released until three years later. Led Zeppelin covered the song on their album Led Zeppelin II (1969). In 2017 Randy Newman wrote Sonny Boy, a song about Rice Williams’ theft of the original Sonny Boy Williamson’s identity.
