Freedom Verse Café

Freedom Verse Cafe | Vol. 1, 2011 Edition

Suni

It is 2011, and what else should kick off the year than a good mixtape?  This year is going to be an exciting one with all of the expected new music arriving, in the meantime lets get down and deep with a great mixture of jazz, poet, hiphop, and soul.

This blend of genres there is a theme from beginning to end; let's see where your mind is enticed to drift off to.  Music should be emancipating, inciting, and inviting; such that we can walk away filling good.  Each mixtape is carefully mixed to give the listener such an experience, while promoting positive and uplifting music.  What more can I say, well there is that...it's free to download and listen in your car, iDevices, and home stereos.  

This project is a non-profit program, and is solely for the promotion of good music and artists.  Please take the time to view the list provided for you to research and support the artists in this mix.  It is not for retail...end discussion.  Let's get vibed!

Freedom Verse Cafe | Is Back!

Fvc_mte_15
It has been a long hiatus from producing podcast for your all, what a shame!  I know, but you brother has been all over the place with moves to Japan, this thing we invest in called "life," and all the stuff in between war and peace; however, here I be for you.  Yes, it is true that I am set to bring Freedom Verse Cafe back to the people who deserve nothing but the best in poetry, jazz, and soul...what better way than to crack the door wide open with a brand new mix-tape?

We left off at volume XIV (14), a beautiful amalgamation of the FVC special blend of good word and soul.  Volume XV is no less than any of its previous editions, and as usual, I am bringing it to you straight no chaser all the way Thelonius style.  Volume XV is filled with jewels of poetry and Jazz with a splash of soul especially blended to tickle your senses.  This blend is a mega mix ranging from Arve Henriksen to Jabreel, Karen Gibson Roc to Ursula, topped with a little H. Rapp Brown and Taalam Acey; you know this is a must listen, discussion, and tell some folks about mixer.

Can you tell I am excited to be back spreading great positive music?  So, without further delay get you copy by download from here or grab from iTunes !!!!IT'S FREE!!!.

Freedom Verse Cafe 2.0

Blessings all,

Freedom Verse Cafe (FVC) is happy to announce it's return to the streams of podcast for another awesome season. After a long summer hiatus it will be retuning in an all NEW way and with a new aim for its audience.

Over the past two years FVC has happily supported the poetic community by providing positive entertainment and a venue for outlet of poetic talent and expressions, and for that I thank all of the fans world wide; from our listeners in Africa to those in Russia. In the past two years I have managed to introduce the wonderful art of spoken word to thousands of listeners and to promote artists on a global prospective and now it's time to take a step further with FVC 2.0.
