Hybrid has become an overused term in American language. It is probably because most Americans are hybrids of some type. Yet, it is a term that precisely fits when describing M.U.G.A.B.E.E. Their name, which is an acronym meaning Men Under Guidance Acting Before Early Extinction, describes a group divinely guided to be musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, playwrights, poets and teachers, they do it all, and they do it all well. That may be because they see themselves as artists, vessels for the word, allowing it to move through them in various forms of hip hop, jazz, spoken word, rhythm and blues, and soul..... Born Maurice S. Turner II and Carlton A. Turner, M.U.G.A.B.E.E. slipped into this life in Mt. Vernon, New York in the early seventies. Several years later they relocated to rural Mississippi. But even at birth, the Turner brothers were everything that represents lifestyle and music in America. With a father from the heart of Harlem, New York and a mother from Utica, Mississippi, these two men began in the nucleus of the spectrum of life in America. In their music you can hear the influences of their mother’s Mississippi gospel bred blues meeting their fathers’ Harlem jazz swing into a crash, a bang, and a boom of late twentieth century urbanization. And just like their parents, they are a perfect compliment to each other. .... One of their greatest assets is their willingness to learn, grow, and evolve as artists, but truly their greatest strength is their understanding that art is used to empower and uplift all people assisting the evolution of human beings by providing thought provoking entertainment in a wide range of subject matter..... M.U.G.A.B.E.E. has been performing professionally since 1995. With their explosive performances, well-layered and constructed grooves, and thought provoking lyrics, their freshman effort delivered a soul stirring and mind-pleasing climax. Since 2001 M.U.G.A.B.E.E. has been working in communities across the South in the form of residencies, workshops, performances and lectures. M.U.G.A.B.E.E. works with youth groups, adult learners, community centers, churches and schools. .... M.U.G.A.B.E.E. is a continuation of the rhythms and sounds that are the foundation of the ancestral spirit of communication. When you hear the music, you hear the fire and soul of evolution..... .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.. - ..Image Hosting.... ..Slap Dat B!$@...... .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | ..
