That’s the Rihanna I like

That is the Caribbean part of her that I like. She is completely at ease with a her roots compare too many who would not dare risk their media shot. She actually does a lot of back up singing for our Caribbeans artists.

One of the most exciting developing areas in community music is around technology that assists people to access music making in spite of any physical or other challenges that may otherwise create barriers. 
From long-standing and expensive technologies like Soundbeam, through to simpler DIY solutions using switches and drumpads, emerging technologies around webcams and brand new “toys” like Skoog, there is an expanding range of technologies available to us in creating participatory music making opportunities for people with disabilities.

Best House and garage grooves I found this month

Just thinking that most people don’t know that house music has been around since the 80′s. For some reason when I listen to House music it takes into an “art mode”, while others would rather be in club, I want to use the computer…. Weird. Although I listen to commercial House, I enjoy underground house the most.  While browsing the internet, I came across this mix, that I tough was quite cool and refreshing, I just enjoy listening to this mix. There is a futuristic, some tribal taste and I think it’s quite groovy too. If you like share it!

If you are a house music lover you should visit site. There you will find mixes from DJ Rodney Late Night Sessions Mixed” , and Keith Johnson takes to a tribal trip with his “Ascend Live” mix. Whooo! Where is my smiley face?  the site I found this mix bellow is named trugroovez.com and it is definitely my number one house site, and would advice, non commercial house lovers to try it, they have very chill out mixesreggae dub mixes (which I really want to grab for my site) and underground garage too.
