BEATS ANTIQUE

Beats Antique came together to make music for Miles Copeland’s Bellydance Superstars extravaganzas. The trio is composed of David Satori (guitar, saz, viola, and percussion), Sidecar Tommy Cappel (keys, toy piano, drums, and percussion), and Zoë Jakes (belly dancer, composer, and arranger). Their music incorporates Middle Eastern grooves, Balkan wedding music, flamenco, French Gypsy jazz, hip-hop, dub reggae, and other Eastern tonalities, all pulled together with electronica that won’t put off club kids, but will appeal to world music lovers as well. All of the band members have a long history of innovative music-making behind them.

LAFA TAYLOR

A world traveler based in Oakland, CA Lafa Taylor is an up and coming singer/emcee/producer. his music carries a message of inspiration and activation for all walks of life while staying gritty, bass heavy, and most importantly danceable. Lafa’s collage of infectiously harmonic, bass heavy, multi tempo, music quickly heats up the dance floor. His vocal style ranges from sweet melodic choruses to tongue twisting rapid rhymes. He is also known for his intricate beat boxing, and creates live loops in ableton on the spot. Well loved by many, Lafa is rapidly making a name for himself on the west coast, opening for big names as well as headlining his own sold out shows. Watch for this international man of music as he continues to spread love and bass wherever he plugs in.
