As a vocalist/musician Derek Lassiter's power is in his ability to render the subject he's writing about as cleanly as possible. For him, God isn't in the details but in simplicity. Lassiter bravely steps from behind the false front and in doing so reveals the sobering truth about his life. In this sense he is a poet's musician.
Derek Lassiter's EP, Witness, is a breath of fresh air: earthy, percussion-driven, spiritual and sensual. From the opening rocker Hunger to the jazzy workout Ill Grow, Lassiter's poetic songs explore the deep roots of Africa and Africa-America, powered by the sound of the drum. Featuring special guest musicians Tom Freund (fresh off of a tour with his former songwriting partner, Ben Harper), Louisiana Blues legend Lady Memfis, and San Francisco guitar phenom Marc Weibel. Produced by pc muñoz.
The spirit of a deceased Chamorro soldier roams the jungle of GUAM, stuck in the aberrant mourning he shares with the live island culture that calls him back home.
Greetings from Hawaii! I'm here soaking up the culture and beauty and wanted to send some Hawaiian sunshine your way! I hope you had a glorious weekend and that you had the opportunity to get out and feel the sun on your face!
Thirty-seven years ago today, on April 20th 1972, the Apollo 16 landed on the moon.
Wherever you are today, and whatever you're doing, I wish you a happy and safe landing!
