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.
