Lately, I have been going crazy because of the lack of cultural experiences I've had in the past year. I really miss going to museums, concerts, plays, multicultural nights, etc. I'm still getting to know ABQ and what it has to offer so when I discovered this little piece of heaven earlier today I definitely felt as if nothing was missing in my life.

The following is an amazing mini concert put together by MADE, a project...or group of projects that are sure to leave you in awe! This is specific one is a combination of three artists: a singer, a violinist, and a painter. The combination of the three is astounding. Here's the actual description given by MADE:

"Moments with ALOE BLACC, Mihalj “MIKI” Kekenj & JAYBO – The Songs.

In the Spring of 2011, a composer, a painter and a singer came together at MADE to create a moment.

Aloe Blacc´s original music was interpreted by Miki and his string-quintet, who translated the soul & funk songs into classical music compositions.

The string-quintet version and the lyrics of Aloe’s song “I Need a Dollar” inspired Jaybo to create his own visual interpretation of the song as an art piece."

This mini-concert which features an amazing string-quintet with soulful R&B influences will make you feel jealous of every single person who was able to attend! Below, I will include the link to the first of six videos. Take the time to watch them all and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
