Soulfecta: A Martin Luther King Day Celebration & Detroit Retrospective

This installation explores the influence of Detroit on the culture. We are please to have one leg of Three Chairs Marcellus Pittman, young blood Deon Jamar and Storied promoter Korie Enyard of Better Days fame for an all-star Motor City Coney special on the main floor. In the Foyer we have an all vinyl set with local support from one of the most well respected diggers and his partner. Shawn Dub & Kels. Our celebration of Martin Luther King is accentuated by a documentary screening of the Sit-In directed by Yoruba Richen for Promiseland Film. . It chronicles the week singer, actor and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte took over the desk as guest host of Johnny Carson’s iconic “Tonight Show.” With a guest list that included Bobby Kennedy, Aretha Franklin and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr;’s last televised interview, Belafonte introduced a fractured, changing country to itself. The doc starts promptly at 7pm. Soulfecta is a trifecta of soul dedicated to aesthetics, racial & gender theory from whence this sub-culture evolved. The geographical terrain the culture has traversed. The intention & neuropsychology of Underground Dance Music culture.
