Danielle Lo Presti on electronica chill groove-move

Danielle Lo Presti 



I've been following this innovative musician for several years now. Her R&B inflected lyrics and heart-song raw-groove vocals are a refreshing tableau of on the real humanitarian caritas.  In an age of too many wannabe's with self-centered lyrics and not enough "I Am Me" conscious singers on today's assembly line replica-plastique music terrain. Joined by the angst-rocker sounds of collaborator Alcia Champion, her unique sonic tapestry continues to unfold as she explores and lights a candle in the dark edges of marginality. Lo Presti "retired" from the music scene to take care of la familia and is now back--as strong as ever. http://www.sayitrecords.com/

True to her innovative inner voice, she is experimenting with a new sound on new media. In her own words from a press release, she started "The Danielle LoPresti (Electronic/ Chill) channel on Jango Internet radio to get an idea of how the general public would react to the (very few) Deep House and Industrial sounding tracks we've released under DLPM. We didn't promote it on this list, nor on Facebook/ Twitter... it was more of a personal experiment to see how the music would be received by completely new, objective ears."  Apparently, the channel has blown up---and for those of you who also do social media, continue to spread the word! Go global, go global, go global!!!!!


Danielle's 2010 CD titled "Run With It" featured the single release women's protest/resistance anthem "Objectify." You can purchase both on CD Baby if you're global and not one of the LA Region/ San Diego local fans who can purchase the newest disc at a gig   http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lopresti5

Haven't had a chance to coffee-chat with her recently, but perhaps an update interview will schedule out for the Summer. ---By the way----still prefer one of her earlier celebratory/dance-party offerings: "Roll Mama" which honors women in all stages of life, acknowledging that  age can attire one's soul with an empowering fragrant essence.


Welcome back Danielle, we missed you!


Dancin' to the groove,

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan.  The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of  1st and B street. It was moved to  the corner of  then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/   now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30. The concert was a musical extravaganza! This post is going viral so I must do a 2024 update: Hello Dr. Buchanon. Thank you for reading my post from 2012. I am honored!!!!

Jellyfish around San Diego Embarcadero and Broadway Pier

             Delores Fisher Blogger on an early Morning stroll Jellyfish are visiting the San Diego CA. Broadway Pier and Embarcadero again. Jellyfish appeared to swarm in this same area in 2012. Although I posted about the Black Nettle Jellyfish in July 2012, this was the first time since that year that I have seen any type of jellyfish in such numbers at the pier. http://carpenoctum2.blogspot.com/2012/08/black-sea-nettle-jellyfish-at.html   However, multiple sightings of similar and other jellyfish have increased since 2012. Several have been posted on youtube. 2015 has been an odd weather year for San Diego with heat and odd rainfall days (despite our drought). It is possible that temperature shifts are part of the reason why jellyfish are in our bays and near our beaches.  Our October weather has been unseasonably hot this early fall, similar to temperatures during earlier 2015 seasonal sightings.  Shannon Handy reported on a North County swarm of Sail jellyfish in May.

April 2023: A Glimpse of Homeless Performer Glen "Pops" Freeman's visit to San Diego CA in 2022 Post 4

 Yes, I used the term homeless in the title as opposed to other more PC terms.  After reading various articles and blogs, including an enlightening reminder by Joe Omundson at  https://medium.com/ecofrugality/stop-confusing-homeless-and-houseless-39b055d29ea3  , the terms homeless and living on the streets seem to be labels these musicians and artists I will write about this summer prefer.                   Glen Pops Freeman photo by Delores Fisher They have shared their stories about COVID 19, feeling invisible, how they spend their daily lives, the precious flow time spent on the streets, maintaining hope while facing pandemic dynamics, a humbling experience they are allowing me to share with you.                                                     I've written about gen eral  homelessness in San Diego California from different socio-political perspectives over the years in various blog posts(for a recent [for a recent post, see https://carpenoctum2.blogspot.com/2022/07/the-unh
