SXSW short shots: Nneka and J. Boogie
Limping onto the stage with a bum leg, Nigerian/German singer-songwriter Nneka enthralled a surprisingly robust audience at a KUT Austin taping on the SXSW Day Stage Cafe at 5 p.m. yesterday. With enormous passion exuding from her tiny frame, she wove tales of love, loss and political corruption that kept the audience rapt, and hungry for more.
Nneka performs tonight at the Parish at 9:30 p.m. and tomorrow at the Beauty Bar at 1 a.m. I highly recommend catching one of these sets.
On the other side of Austin, San Francisco DJ J. Boogie dropped a tasty blend of hip-hop, afrobeat and (a man after my own heart) Indian grooves at the SXSouth Lamar Crawfish Boil at Bird’s Barbershop last night. He’ll be mixing it up in between sets at tonight’s Scoot Inn showcase which is long on the world funk and boasts a solid lineup of artists who will no doubt be dropping hot and heavy grooves to make you move.
