Tune in to The Other Black Music radio show this Sunday July 19 to hear an interview with Carl Olamina Ridley, the lead singer of the Godfathers of USA Reggae Awareness Art Ensemble (AAE). He is still continuing the AAE sound. Also, I’ll have a pair of tickets to give away for Thundercat 10/17 at The National!
