BlackRadioIsBack.com Video: The Bots

What's up this fourth day of Black History Month in the U.S. from the BlackRadioIsBack.com/FuseBox Radio Broadcast crew!

I just wanted to share a bit of music off the radar (hopefully soon to a TV, radio and other media outlet near you) with the young, talented fellas of the AfroPunk group The Bots.

The Bots represent California and consists of members Mikaiah Lei (16) and Anaiah Lei (13).

These young brothers of Afro-Caribbean descent and Chinese descent dropped their self-titled album independently a few months ago via the web through Napster, iTunes, Rhapsody & eMusic.

In between going to school (Mikaiah with High School and Anaiah with Middle School), the young mulit-instrumentalists spend time recording, writing original music for future performances and releases and touring all over the U.S., including this year's AfroPunk Music Festival with headliner Saul Williams.

The Bots sound has a lot of Punk, Ska, Rock and Reggae Music influences and a lot of energy for heads to jam to.

With groups as diverse as The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bad Brains and Bob Marley being a few of their influences, I think these young men can definitely make it happen on the mainstream stage if given a proper chance in the future.

Check out some of their recent videos below as well as copping a download of their single "Stop" and let us know what you think of The Bots and their dope Black Rock sounds...enjoy!

Happy Black History Month 2010! (and 4 Dope Black History Documentary Videos to Watch)

What's good to our BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast family!

Folks are a bit behind on new posts here on the site due to both work reasons (9 to 5 and some music project in the lab are hitting me HARD) as well as some personal reasons (my Mama had to get thyroid surgery but is now doing pretty well and some other fam issues), but now are back on track! :)

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Black History Month for 2010 (and for my U.K. Peoples, early wishes since y'all celebrate it in October)!

After a year into U.S. President Barack Obama's presidency, it's pretty damned obvious we're FAR from being in a "post-racial" America.

There is still an insane lack of complete acceptance of People of Black descent worldwide being human beings (see some of the still ignorant things said about the Haiti Earthquake tragedy on your local mainstream news channel), much less our positive contributions to the world throughout history.

As much as some - to be very nice - short-sighted people who always want to believe that everything is all good and wash away ANY distinguishing recognition of Blacks in America (especially so) and the Diaspora, Black History Month is still a vitally needed time for not just Black People, but people all over the United States and world to reflect not just on various individual's achievements from a Paul Robeson to Malcolm X or Fannie Lou Hamer to Sojouner Truth, but on our basic commonalities as human beings.

EVERYONE can be proud of their various ethnic and cultural heritages (otherwise, why would there be things like Hispanic History Month, Women's History Month, etc.) and the struggles groups of people have made since the beginning of time to grow and have it not be a threat to those who are secure in themselves.

The diverse contributions of Black Culture from all over the African Diaspora (political, academic, artistic, etc.) to the world should be celebrated and acknowledged all day, everyday - not just for a regulated 28 days a year (or 29 on a leap year). :)

Here are just a few resources for Black History Month for everyone to check out as well as some pretty cool documentaries and short videos off the beaten path available for viewing free on the web to jump the month of right this decade...hope y'all enjoy them!

BlackRadioIsBack.com Video #3: Speakers for the Dead

Description via NFB:
This documentary reveals some of the hidden history of Blacks in Canada. In the 1930s in rural Ontario, a farmer buried the tombstones of a Black cemetery to make way for a potato patch.

In the 1980s, descendants of the original settlers, Black and White, came together to restore the cemetery, but there were hidden truths no one wanted to discuss. Deep racial wounds were opened.

Scenes of the cemetery excavation, interviews with residents and re-enactments--including one of a baseball game where a broken headstone is used for home plate--add to the film's emotional intensity.
