The Chronicles of The Black Fist (Novel)

My latest literary effort, and my FIRST novel!  :D

"Enter the world of Nyerere Lewis, born and raised in New Washington City.  The son of beloved local activists, his world is rocked when they are murdered by the police in a raid, and a race riot sweeps through the city in the aftermath...

   20 years later, Nyerere has grown up, and the city is still plagued with addiction, corruption, criminality, and complacency.  Nyerere wants nothing to do with reviving the community, feeling that the people betrayed his parents' dreams of upliftment.  But, with the slaying of a former mentee of his, he feels that he can no longer stay on the sidelines, and do nothing.  He dons the revolutionary colors, and reeks havoc on all those who would harm this city, criminal or corrupt cop alike..."

Jadele McPherson a/k/a Lukumi Arts performing at Zinc Bar!!!!

Representing para mi hermana Jadele McPherson, a/k/a Lukumi Arts

Press Release, 1/22/2015:
New Dimensions in Latin Jazz & Zinc Bar present the newest wave of innovative Cuban music with a residency for the young AfroCuban vocalist/songwriter Jadele and her all-star band, Afrocubanismo on Fridays in February.

Gifted with the most powerful voice in Latin music since Celia Cruz, Jadele, a seasoned performer of AfroCuban ritual and sacred music, creates a gorgeous, sui generis musical landscape that incorporates the chants and rhythms of Cuba's Yoruba heritage with her original compositions. Her band - jazz sophisticates who are steeped in all the traditions of Cuban music - are up to the task.

Our set invokes an Afro-Cuban ritual cycle, beginning with Palo Monte Mayombe to honor ancestral routes of the African Diaspora to New York. We'll explore this legacy through Afro-Cuban folklore, jazz, hip-hop, blues, son & bolero. Join us in call & response to traditional and original music dedicated to the orishas, composed & arranged by Dayramir Gonzalez/DG Vicet (Havana, Cuba) & Jadele McPherson (New York, NY).

Zinc Bar
82 West 3rd Street
New York, NY 10012
Showtime: 8pm; $15 admission

Dates: Feb 6th, Feb 14th, Feb 20th, and Feb 27th
