Post Renaissance & Heavy Crate Syndrome Present:

Rice & Beans

Biography…

Trios emerge to create history. Proving again that three is not just a magic number the Rice and Beans crew introduces braggadocios yet refined concoction of Soul, Salsa, House, Hip Hop and Caribbean Funk. Their mission is to introduce an inexperienced audience the passion and energy of Latin American culture and music. It’s not only about a hot plate of rice and beans.


The Lineup:

• Hector Garcia: Sound Engineer, Record Enthusiast (Dat Digga)
• Dennis Mero - Hairstylist, Promoter & DJ (Think Different)
• Christian Martir Cordova: Activist, DJ & Graphic Artist, Cheap Vinyl Runner (Mofongo Con Pegao)
• Dean Rodriguez Santiago: DJ, Shoe Aficionado, And Record Connoisseur (ROD-One)

Rod’s 2 Cents for The Week

Although much of the diggin’ scene has turned into a popularity contest (when it comes to value and rarity), there still are great records to be found. Original pressings are of course the standard, and reissues serve as a last resort for many. This attitude I describe is the mindset of real hardworkin’ record collectors that only use serato as a solution for traveling and heavy loads of gear. We all know a laptop and a portable hard drive may be less than fifteen pounds all together but it still doesn’t stop the few of us who continually stick to vinyl. All I’m saying is that an mp3 doesn’t include a record jacket or credit liner notes. My fingers will remain dusty until the point that I can’t crouch down and take a peek in milkcrates. Good day…
