Looks like Santos is the place to be on Saturday night.
It'll be good to see these two women: The much slept-on MC Jean Grae and the extraordinary vocal talents of singer/songwriter/bandleader Tamar-kali. "Extraordinary" is not too strong a word here: She can go from a soft and melodic to a furious roar. Now, when most female rock vocalists go to 10 (or 11, as the case may be) they end up sounding a little ragged, a la Janis Joplin. But not Tamar-kali: It's all coherent, powerful, but spine-tinglingly beautiful.
Check her out on "Your Girl," taken from the EP Geechee Goddess Hardcore Warrior Soul:
So, maybe I'll see you at Santos tomorrow?
