Just before I gave up on the idea of becoming a professional player of notes and committed to becoming a professional typer of letters, I remember taking a college entrance audition at DePaul University in Chicago. At the conclusion, the violin professor made some kind comments concluding with the acknowledgment that I was a “young woman with a very interesting sense of internal rhythm.”
Maybe it’s because of that, um, issue that I am so enamored with artists who have a bit more control of their groove, and no one I have met rocks that better Shodekeh, (a.k.a. Dominic Earle Shodekeh Talifero) a beatboxer out of Baltimore who I guarantee is a talent you’re going to want to have on your radar. You can read more about him here and here, and get schooled in the art of vocal percussion in the video below. If hip hop battles are outside your comfort zone, you can catch him with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on July 23.
Thanks for the LOVE!!!!
