Third Annual African-American Spoken Word Festival
A Report by Larry Ukali Johnson-Redd
www.lovingblackwome _n.com_ (http://n.com/)
So the Third Annual African-American Spoken Word Festival was
broadcast about 20 minutes late due to technical difficulties but
once it started it lasted 2 and half hours without a hitch. Larry
Chew, a KPOO radio personality (_www.kpoo.com_ (http://www.kpoo.com/) ) , call
ed and said the
Festival was broadcasting loud and clear.
Queen D
Queen D started it off with thoughtful smooth Spoken Word. Queen D
was followed by smooth and cultural Charles Chatmon and Shakeel Ali
with Lexo presenting some street level Hip Hop Spoken Word. More to
come on this sister that is for sure with her poise and confidence
from a real sister's heart!
I listened to the great Queen D, the Poet, on MP 3. She was clear as
if she was in the room, I met this intelligent beautiful sister and
heard her read some of her poems that had such a hard edge that I
wanted to let the sister know we Black Men were not all bad. She
read one evening (in January 2007) in Terry Moore's The Show: the
biggest clean mouth poetry show in Sacramento.
No doubt though this sister Queen D is an African Queen to her
heart! Well, Queen D floated into the venue on a cloud with her
fiance. She belted out a couple of hard-edged pieces and then melted
everyone at the end of her performance, viding on love! She did two
lovely love-filled poems on African culture and one much more
personal.
This prompted the Cameraman Brother Lyn interviewing her on the
video to ask if she was in love and you have to see the video for
this interview and to see how Queen D blushed while saying, yes.
Black Love is not a dinosaur but alive and well. I wished we had a
professional photographer there who could have taken a picture of
Queen D with her man. You see, I too believe in Black Love!! May
Black Love Flourish!! I wish Queen D and her Man all of the
happiness in the world.
Charles Chatmon
Then came South Central Los Angeles born Charles Chatmon in a deeply
cultural, contemporary and historical well-spoken presentation all
acknowledging African-American History Month
Charles brought it to the audience from South Central with his
honest sincere and heartfelt feelings and I strongly urge you to
make plans to attend the June 14 2008 LA Black Book Expo in LA at
3980 Menlo to hear this brother and buy his books. I prefer The
Voices from South Central but Charles delivered from both of his
books and announced he is working on his third book.
The 07 LA Black Book Expo (LABBX) in August 07 was off the chain
with Spoken Word, African authored books including children's books!
The next LABBX will also be off the chain so make plans now to be in
LA June 14,2008 from 10 AM to 6 PM.
Charles next book is titled The Depths Of My Soul!
Shakeel Ali and Lexo
Shakeel and Lexo came on stage at first with classical Hip Hop moves
and banging beat, aura, (Shakeel respectfully requested move base
but there was no more base to be had in a library setting) and
spoken word with Big Thingz! Then Shakeel began showing how heavy he
is by free style rapping again with more Hip Hop music praising Joe
Marshall Ph. D and Mc Arthur Foundation Black Genesis award winner
and originator of Omega Boys Club-Potrero Hill- and Street Soldier.
Shakeel and Lexo worked in praise for KPOO!
Then Shakeel pointed out that this should be African History Month
linking our identity to our motherland Africa saying also that
Marcus Books was part of his university education, praised Haki
Mahabuti of Chicago, the late John Hendric Clarke whom I met in
Harlem years ago and saw speak in Oakland and Ivan Van Sertima.
Then. Shakeel flowed about African pyramid builders, advised we buy
relevant DVD's and turnoff network TV, praised Fred Hampton Jr. and
the POCC, their Block Radio Show, Minister of Information JR and
Shakeel mentioned Audio Rebellion. Shakeel then switched to a jazzy
beat and music while speaking about Pathways For Kids where he is
doing big things as the program director and read a letter of award
for a $50,000 grant from the Gap Foundation that mention him in
particular for doing big things!
Terry Moore
It was now time for Terry Moore from Sacramento to step to the
stage! Terry arrived right at that moment, from Sacramento by car.
So in order to give my brother Poet from Sac a few moments to build
up his aura I jumped out after one of those great Pat Womack-Clarke
introductions and did a couple of my Spoken Word pieces. When I
thought Terry was ready and he appeared on stage I introduced Terry
Moore and he brought it spoken word about love sisters his daughter
and the loves past of his life including a salute to African-
American History
Then Terry, who I met 4 years ago, brought it. He was hot passionate
and with history and love for our Black women and his love for his
daughter Tyra! Terry Moore what can you say, the folks in Sacramento
give Terry so much love and support that San Francisco could not
compare to that. So Terry asked why the sisters in the audience were
so quiet. One sister answered they were in awe of the 6 foot-plus
Slam Champ award winner, who has won so many awards every type they
are too many to mention. Check him out at _http://www.terrymoo re.info/_
(http://www.terrymoore.info/)
He Said She Said Black Relationship Forum
Charles Chatmon, author of Voices of South Central, read a piece he
stated was appropriate for the He Said She Said about the status of
Black Love. Charles asked our sisters "to stand common ground not
elevated ground." The combination of Charles Chatmon and Mrs.
Patricia Womack-Clarke and their rotating rapid fire of questions
made this the best He Said She Said yet!
Charles Chatmon introduced Pearl and it was on. Charles and Patricia
Womack Clark began rotating asking—shooting questions at Pearl Jr
and with their 2-minute limit on time to answer their questions
Larry Ukali Johnson-Redd, Patricia Womack-Clarke, and Charles
Chatmon enjoyed presenting his Spoken Word and the reception after
the flow of his Spoken Word at the Third Annual African-American
Spoken Word Festival at the San Francisco Public Library earlier!
The time went so fast that we ran through our Question-and- Answer
period proving we would need to do another San Francisco Bay Area
again to allow for more audience participation. We could not get it
all done and said in that time frame but we made a good down payment
on it.
The Feast
Then we the Festival Poets, Artists and Participants feasted on a
great and healthy meal by Southern Hospitality Caterers operated by
Chef Lester Clarke and his wife Patricia Womack: We had bite size
Sweet Potato Pie and Pecan pies that could not be resisted!!
If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area contact Chef Lester and
Patricia to cater your affair at 510-932-8337 or at
_lesterclarke@ comcast.net_ (mailto:lesterclarke@comcast.net) !!! Thank you
Chef Lester
Looking Forward
Many thanks to Charles, Pearl (and her Man/Video person Cecil) for
coming up to San Francisco from Los Angeles and keeping it real!
When they do return I hope the San Francisco Bay Area will come out
and support the effort as well as buy their great books. Because we
had a great Festival and many people heard it around the Bay Area
and around the world through _www.kpoo.com_ (http://www.kpoo.com/) and KPOO
FM 89.5! Many
thanks to the KPOO Radio Station Management
