Live performances by SANTERO BOOGAT (Montreal) FAVI (FA) DJ sets by DJ Mr.E (Papalote Hi-Fi) El Kool Kyle (SuperRitmo) Roger Mas (SuperRitmo) & Surprise Guests! Make-Out Room San Francisco, CA 9pm-2am $5 Cover Santero now resides in Oakland, CA where he hosts a hugely successful weekly global music showcase called The Jet Set. He splits his time working as a recording artist, producer, deejay and radio host. In 2005 he was named Best New Artist by Batanga magazine for his first album and made Remezcla’s 2008 Top Ten list. Santero's sophomore release El Hijo de Obatala has garnered critical acclaim, having been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered & Latino USA. Santero’s sophomore effort made several critics’ top 10 lists for best album of 2009 in the Village Voice, SF Weekly and other publications. Santero was nominated for a 2009 SF Weekly Music Award and was featured on many prominent music blogs. The third album by Santero, entitled Afrika (2012 Round Whirled Records), is an exploration of the impact African rhythms have had on the music of Latin America. Funky Afro-Beat drums, poly-rhythmic Couper Decaler dance beats & Angolan Kuduro styles blend with Latin percussion & call and response vocals. Santero reaches deep into his Latin roots & African diaspora sensibilities to bring together the best of two musical worlds in this utterly danceable & celebratory release. Santero on Soundcloud

The Inspired Vegan

Big tings a gwan for Bryant Terry in 2012. Yesterday he shared 5 thoughts with Oprah (look for his BBQ bean sprouts recipe in the Feb issue of Oprah Magazine). And this morning he was on one of my favorite radio stations. KPFA, in conversation with Kris Welch on the program "Living Room". Bryant does such a great job of breaking down the labels and stereotypes of vegan life.

Living Room - January 19, 2012 at 12:00pm

The first episode of his web series Urban Organic has just been released. The aquaponics farm in Oakland is pretty amazing.

His new book, The Inspired Vegan hits the shelves next week. You can pick up your copy at the book release "throwdown" on Tuesday January 24th at the Museum Of African Diaspora.

There will be music by Bay Area jazz legend Marcus Shelby, another artist who colors outside of the lines

.

The throwdown will also include sounds from Rennee Wilson and DJs Max Champ and Ellen Choy. And very special elixers from Slow Down Wines.

Soul Cocina will be curbside serving some gems from the new cookbook. I am thinking of preparing wild mushroom & black eyed peas jung with red chile shoyu, but the SF weather may call for something from the "Winter in Hong Kong" menu in the book. Like the two rice congee.

The throwdown also happens to fall on Chinese New Year.

Check out Bryant's other books: Vegan Soul Kitchen and Grub.
