Nomadic Massive and Afro-Latin Soul!
BY Eric Z. Camins, December 10, 2009Our folks Nomadic Massive, of Montreal, will be joining Spanish Harlem greats San Juan Hill, for the next installment of The Afro Latin Soul Music Series happening in Brooklyn tomorrow. (details below)
The Afro Latin Soul Music Series is a dance party and live music international celebration, that showcases up and coming Artists, Bands and DJ’s from New York City, Montreal, Quebec, and around the world. The series originated at the legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe in 2007. Soon after, San Juan Hill’s Frank Diggz, joined forces with Nomadic Massive’s Lou Piensa to create the first international Afro Latin Soul Music Series at Club Lambi in Montreal, Sept. 4th., and again on Oct. 16th., 2009.
Accumulating over 200 spectators, they had Artists on the bill, such as; Rael (Sao Paolo), DJ Ronzilla (The Bronx), Climbing Poetree (Brooklyn), personal familia Obsession (Cuba), and of course Nomadic Massive, and San Juan Hill.
As a perfect addition, given the fundamentals of the series based in global solidarity, social change and cultural awareness, Nomadic Massive promises to bring an incredibly energetic and eclectic mix to the stage. We caught up with Nomadic Massive for an interview when they were last in NYC and witnessed first hand their exciting mezcla of Hip Hop, Soul, Afro Beat, and Latin sounds all overlaid with lyrics in languages from every corner of the globe. They gave us a little FIRE after their interview (coming soon) which you can watch here:
Be sure to catch the next installment of Afro-Latin Soul tomorrow at Little Field in Brooklyn. Hosted by Hanifah Walidah.

Nomadic Massive give a show like no other. They are representative off the international vibe we get from the world today. I have lots of love & respect for them & enjoyed any show we both preformed together at.
Keep it up!
