SUBS!!!

Since we here









Les Nubians are arguably some of my favourite musicians. I'll never forget the day I found out about them.

Was on the road headed back from a Halloween Party 2016. It's about 2 AM and I just got back into the DC area from Baltimore (about a 1 hour drive). Switched the station to 95.5 and they had like a soulful throwback special.

"Makeda" came on and instantly I was hooked. I pulled over and pulled out my Shazam app. Once I got the track I went back home and went through their catalog. At that time I was a senior in college and still taking French so my fascination was sky high at the time.

Their first album "Princess Nubiennes" is really in a league of its own. I missed them when they came to DC last summer (2017) :mjcry:.

I really want to seem them perform live. Their songs are just so well done.

Desoleé's drums are just something else.

Edit:

"Sugarcane" is better accessible to non-French speakers

Edit 2: They're performing in Brooklyn on the Mar 1st...:lupe:.

I love India.Arie too, especially her first 2 albums.. Acoustic Soul was a great album. It was unfortunate how she lost every nomination to Alicia Keys at the 2002 Grammy Awards. She won 2 later with Voyage to India, which was cool.

I figured, there were too many signs :russ:, I'm good tho.

So Coli is your new home now? I figured I'd make an account since I've been lurking for years.

Is it really that obvious? :dead: :russ:

Yeah, I actually didn’t know about this site until a few months ago. I lurked a bit and decided to make an account. At the time I registered, they didn’t have registration open and I had to contact an admin via twitter to get on. I like it here so far and the people on here are nice.

I’m glad you’re doing well. :smile: Anything new going on around KTT?

Yeah the name was obvious but that write up on Brandy on your website gave it away.

Haha! Yeah I still had to be D’Angelo inspired with the username. :laugh:

I decided to take up writing about music. Brandy was someone I wanted to write an in depth piece about for a while and after some time I got that accomplished. I plan on doing more in the near future. :smile:

Lmao! I don’t miss that at all. It seems like the majority of the posters on here are a lot mature and very knowledgeable. It’s like a complete 180 tbh. But it could be because people on here are older than the average age of people on KTT.
