The uptowns best open mic and featured poet / singer Malena Perez


Oye mi gente. This is Fish Vargas coming at you from the deep bowels of the internet. Trust me, you will be seeing alot of me as the summer is winding down and poetry revs up the engines of the many who have been deprived. Come out on Sept 12 at 7pm sharp for the awesome talent of Malena Perez.

With a keen sense of heritage and true artistry in her blood, Malena Pérez is poised to make a memorable international debut with the release of her first full-length album, STARS," a body of work sure to take listeners on a delicious sensory journey. Born in Atlanta, Georgia to a Cuban father and German mother, Pérez grew up listening to stories of her fathers homeland and the sounds of Omara Portuondo and Celia Cruz. In her own music, which blends Latin-flavored soul with downtempo, progressive jazz, the songstress explores these early influences and updates them for the modern lounge scene.

Malena's debut 12 vinyl single, Free To Fly (Divine Recordings), written and recorded with Atlanta producer Michael Johnson (KetchaVibe) and remixed by JustOne of KemeticJust, introduced her bilingual vocals and jazzy Latin grooves to the house scene in 2004. When DJs from around the world began playing the track in clubs and lounges, the song quickly made a name for the blossoming artist. That seed led to the anticipated release of her album, STARS, a two year labor of love.

Don't forget on the 1's and 2's will be funkworthy's own DJ Geko Jones! Hosting will be Rich Villar at the helm. Also be on the look out for a couple of other little knick knacks we have planned to bring the rafters down at El Teatro Bruckner!

[ ok, No secrets here, We got VICTOR HERNANDEZ CRUZ with plenty of copies of his new book at Acentos on September 26th. Yep, I told you we were getting serious ]
