At the beginning of this year, Israel was bombing the crap out of Palestine. Ayah didn't like it very much so in February she decided to throw together a benefit called "A Peace For Gaza." When she called me it was a no brainer as I always play benefits for my people if I'm available.
It turned out that Zaki Ibrahim lent herself to this cause so I was fortunate enough to play with her that night too. A few years back, one of my best friends, for a pound of wings and a couple beers, gave me an extra ticket to go see the Roots with him at the Warehouse. It was a legendary show in which Zaki opened for them and was phenomenal. So of course I was excited to play with her. You can check out her site here.
I know I keep saying this but Ayah is serious and does not mess around. She put on a great night that had DJ Agile keep the floor busy when we weren't on. He plays the good stuff that I like so show him some love and download your free Agile mixtapes here.
The night was a success. This reel has a couple clips of Ayah and a clip of Zaki from their performances at "A Peace For Gaza."
