Synchronized Rhythm Review: Hot Sounds of THE RENDEZVOUS!

31. October 2008 by admin.

We’re still on a musical high from the sizzling performances we experienced at The Rendezvous this past Monday (October 27th). We give major kudos to Marko Nobles of Injoy Enterprises for the evening’s amazing line-up! It was such a majestic evening that if you didn’t come through to pay your respects to some of the most talented artists in the independent circuit, then you missed a helluva night!

The night was co-sponsored by “Bacardi Gold Live” who provided the crowd with free drinks; and we most definitely took advantage of that perk! First performer was Brooklyn-bred, R&B, Reggae artist, DIONNE BLAIZE, who ushered in the evening extravaganza with her addictive Caribbean infused grooves, compelling vocals and superb stage presence. She ended her set with a song entitled, ‘RISE UP’, dedicated to the unspeakable tragedy of Jennifer Hudson and the amazing triumph of Barack Obama’s presidency nomination.

Next up, was Harlem’s own, MIKA, who we’ve seen shower the stage with her loveliness and beautiful vocals on countless occasions. With her rich eclectic R&B flair, there is no mistaken that this songstress is headed down a path of musical greatness. Check her out on MySpace @ www.myspace.com/harlemmika

The next performer, SOUL CYCLE, hailing from Brooklyn, took it up a notch with their world fusion brand of rhythms incorporated with jazz, hip hop, funk, gospel, latin and reggae. They moved the crowd with selections never before played live and we must say that it was definitely a treat to experience their musicianship! If you’re curious about this band and want to find out why we give them 2 thumbs up for their exceptional performance, then head to the Blue Note, November 14th and you’ll understand why these gentlemen deserve an abundance of accolades.

The featured performer for the evening, YAHZARAH aka PURPLE ST. JAMES, was introduced by a good friend of Synch Rhythm, and a talented artist in his own right, RUSSELL TAYLOR; both taking the trip all the way from Washington DC to give us a performance of a lifetime. The anticipation grew as we waited with baited breath for YAHZARAH to take her place at the mic; and when she appeared, she commanded your attention and electrified the stage with her charismatic presence; setting off an explosive musicality throughout the Shrine into the streets of Harlem! Her boisterous vocals echoed as she shimmied in a sexy gold dress; bringing the crowd to their feet from her infectious energy! We now know why she is one of the most sought after vocalists in the industry! Check her out on MySpace @ www.myspace.com/yahzarah It would be in your best interest to make your way to The Rendezvous which happens every last Monday of each month!
