Celebrating Malcolm
May 19th, 2010
May 19, 2010 would have been the 85th birthday of El Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, better known throughout the world as Malcolm X. Though his teachings are still controversial to some, most educated observers understand that Malcolm X was a highly skilled community organizer, a powerful social justice advocate, and an enlightened spiritual leader.
We’ll remember Malcolm X at a celebration on May 19 at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History called 365-50 Malcolm X. This event is from 6p.m.-9p.m. in the auditorium
Performers include:
Poets from Detroit Community Schools, Pasture Dance Factory, and Celebrated Local Poets Rhonda Welsh, Supreme, Tom Budday, Valencia “Numi” Vanner.
Special Musical Performances by Big A, 5 Ela, Supa Emcee, Kiko, and Khary WAE Frazier featuring Nadir

Nadir on KISS KISS BANG BANG I.S.P.Y.
May 6th, 2010
Nadir was featured in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (KKBB), a specialty newsletter for the alternative music community produced by UNCLE Promotions in California. It includes weekly airplay charts, interviews with alternative radio and record company personalities, and other content geared toward the alternative music community.
A very big thanks goes to our good friend Jane Asher at RadioSophie 103.7 in San Diego for spreading the word in KKBB’s I.S.P.Y. feature. Jane says:
Nadir Omowale embodies the spirit of music. He is a singer, songwriter, producer and social activist. His latest album, “Workin’ for the Man,” is filled with soul-shredding funk and offers an amazing version of Terence Trent D’Arby’s (now known as Sananda Maitreya) “Sign Your Name.” Nadir was just awarded Outstanding Urban Funk Vocalist at the 2010 Detroit Music Awards on April 16th. If Motown had never moved to L.A., this is what it would sound like today.
