Events' Realm

Iset Sankofa forges ahead of the turntable constellation with a stunningly refreshing kinda sound. This is the 'all genres considered' milieu... where dusty Malian Blues takes a night stroll with Dub, Naija hip hop flirts dangerously with Kingston Dancehall grit,  and bubbly Brazilian Electronica steams a peace pipe with Afro-Jazz futurism. 
 
For this self-described 'bird', she is always reaching beyond the beyond and fetching back what she terms as musical source-code. In that, we can find a song or a groove so undeniable in it's appeal that it not only builds on the idea of the universality of music but of sound itself. Her musical selections have a way of running past the dance-able and the obvious. Usually, the next stop is a bold convergence of history and magic - one that playfully wields the listener into the lush, downright sensuous terrain that music can be. 
 
For Sankofa, hers is an imagined and realized terrain where digital divides are effortlesly bridged in 128 BPMs and new music lifts a hat to traditional sounds via a kind of time-travelling-self-discovering-remixing sort of aesthetic.

The Sankofa Sessions

Haute People was launched in 2011 by Lorane “Rane” Rhoden. This Blog started as a Fashion and Entertainment Blog but has grown into a Lifestyle Blog as the years progressed. The term “Haute” is synonymous with Beauty, Fashion, Hair and Nail Trends. A favorite among our readers is “Behind the Seams”, where influential people from the Creative Industry are featured. Haute People have been featured on Sana Hashmat Couture, Pepsi Tumblr Blog, Domestic Diva Designs, Inspiration Gratis, The Lucky Magazine Online Community and Azans Home Adventures. The event will begin promptly at 7:00PM at the Abar Restaurant and Lounge, Shop#21 Springs Plaza (facing the Kingston Bookshop). The first 30 guests will receive complimentary Goody Bags from “The Goody Lady’’. Complimentary Hors d'oeuvres will also be served throughout the night. This is an exclusive event and guests should R.S.V.P to hautepeople@yahoo.com by September 16, 2013.
