J Music: Fela: Rhythms of Desire – The Inspiration

This weekend I traveled down to Philly for The Inspiration Fall 2012 Show in collaboration with African Rythms, Fela: Rhythms of Desire.

The Inspiration is a co-ed a cappella singing group founded in 1989 for students of the University of Pennsylvania. It serves as a musical outlet for individuals with a desire to celebrate thelegacy of the music of theAfrican Diaspora. 

I believe the Inspiration is among the top groups on campus, but I may be bias as I am a proud Inspiration alum!  Don’t just take my word for it, check out a few performances below and judge for yourself. ‘89 #iSing

“Hold On” by Moses Hogan

“Take Care” by Drake Ft. Rihanna [Influenced by Gil Scott-Heron]

Forgive the commentary I was on double duty (proud alum & videographer)!

The set list also included “Stay” by Elle Varner, “No Letting Go” by Wayne Wonder, “Party” by Beyonce, and “Kiss” by Prince. More videos coming soon!
