Essence Weekend 2013 – Friday July 6

ESSENCE FESTIVAL 2013

During the French quarter coverage of the Essence Festival weekend we were present for Jill Scott, Beyonce’, Maxwell, Janell Mone’, Brandi, LL Cool J, and many more. This chemical reaction of talented musicians is known as Essence Festival.  For those of you that don’t know, the port city of New Orleans becomes an entertainment MECCA during the 4th of July weekend which has been an iconic music event since its conception in 1995.  These days the streets become flooded with what can only be explained as the current face of black culture at its finest, and Kapture NOLA was right there in the thick of it.  The flock of the fabulous and fashion forward attendees splattered the town in waves of, “which way???… this way???”  travelers during this fan fair extravaganza.

Jazz Fest 2013 – Flow Tribe

Flow Tribe Performs at NOLA’s Jazz & Heritage Festival

Flow Tribe represents the next generation in New Orleans’ second line street funk. Musically diverse but rooted in the traditions of the Crescent City, Flow Tribe delivers with the delicacy of a sledgehammer. Described as “irresistible” by Relix magazine, Flow Tribe tours nationally and plays at major festivals such as New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Walkarusa, and headlines major venues around the country. Their 2011 release garnered both local and national media coverage and earned a top 10 pick of 2011 by the New Orleans’ Times Picayune. 2013 brings even more festival exposure and the ambitious release of three albums by the end of the year. If soul grooving, backbone cracking music is what you need, look no further than Flow Tribe. (excerpt source)

BUKU Fest NOLA 2013

BUKU FEST NEW ORLEANS 2013

Kendrick Lamar, Public Enemy, Wild Crowds, & Titos to fuel it all.

We had a great time at this up and coming Music/Arts Festival. Buku gives a different vibe than all of the other N.O. festivals. It feels fresher, newer names, great venue and a charged audience that the artists feed off. Right in the heart of the N.O. Mardi Gras World that gives off a unique atmosphere i hadn’t experienced anywhere else.

Kendrick Lamar was great, Public Enemy was Nostalgic, and Tito’s made it that much better.
