We hope you will help get the word out for the October 24th event, a Tribute to Fela (flyer link below). In order for this event to succeed, we really have to get the word out - far and wide! So please send this url (http://www.experiencespreadlove.com/) to your lists, tell your friends and family who love good music, this is another "don't miss" event!
This month's tribute to Fela will be extra special...with live performances by MAUSIKI SCALES and COMMON GROUND COLLECTIVE and turntable support by DJ AUSAR of WRFG's Kalakuta Show.

Tribute to Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the legendary Nigerian Afrobeat musician and Human Rights activist.
From West Africa to West Broadway, in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world-
fans still celebrate Fela's musical influence on HIP HOP, R & B, HOUSE, and SOUL.
Fusing deep house with Afrobeat and funk, Spread Love's Tribute to Fela is the brainchild of Grammy-nominated producer and Atlanta's world-class turntablist, DJ KEMIT.
Featuring live performances by MAUSIKI SCALES & COMMON GROUND COLLECTIVE - along with DJ AUSAR of WRFG / 89.3's Kalakuta Show.
This is another Spread Love monthly event NOT TO MISS! Part of Spread Love proceeds will benefit non-profit organizations which invest in sustainable and socially progressive humanitarian causes locally and internationally. This month, a portion of proceeds benefits TRANSAFRICA FORUM & REFUGEE FAMILY SERVICES.

Emerald, Cha-Cha Jones and perhaps a female emcee for the evening like Jodine or Kim Malone with maybe some live perfomances by Julie Dexter, Rhonda Thomas, Joi or
