Description
It's time for Second Saturdays at Little Baobab with residents DJ Santero & DJ Mpenzi inside the International Dance mix!Santero currently 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.
The third album by Santero, entitled Afrika (2011 City Hall Records/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.
Pausing from live performances, Santero holds down the decks at Little Baobab every Second Saturday.
