If you are in the L.A. area tonight, you must check out this upcoming artist Asa! She is in town after her recent appearance at SXSW, and you can catch her at 8pm at the Hotel Cafe!
The Paris-born, Nigerian raised artist Asa has had a lot of love coming from
KCRW on her debut release Asa (Mercer Street Records). She was in Austin for
SXSW performing as part of number of shows including Marco Wermans
showcase.
If Bob Marley and India Arie had a daughter and raised her in Nigeria, she
would probably look and sound like Asa² Afrobeat
Her debut went gold in France only 3 months after its release and won her
the Prix Constantin for Best New French Artist of 2008. Her US release
debuted at #1 on the iTunes world chart. The sounds of the R&B records of
her childhood, as well socially-conscious music like Fela Kuti and Bob
Marley, inform the lyrics and sounds of her first album.
