Osunlade is great - is he doing a live PA? Expect Afro-latin house - very
Body & Soul like. Osunlade was featured in a issue of Straight No Chaser a
while back. You should expect only the deepest soulful house music.
Here's a profile of him from allmusic.com
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll
Respected and emulated New York-based producer, DJ, and label chief Osunlade
grew up in a musical
environment; as a youngster, he took piano lessons and sang in his church's
choir. At the age of 17,
he joined the cast of the popular children's show Sesame Street as a
presenter. He later produced
music for the program. During the late '80s, he started working as a producer
and session hand;
since starting out, he has leant his talents to records by Musiq, Patti
LaBelle, Najee, India Arie
and Eric Benet. In 1999, Osunlade established the Yoruba label and began
releasing deep house
productions of his own while cultivating new artists. For his first album,
2001's Paradigm, the
producer hooked up with the U.K.'s Soul Jazz label, which released the
excellent LP and increased
his profile significantly as a result. Easily one of the most gifted
producers of
soul/funk-influenced deep house, Osunlade ? an ordained priest in the African
religion of Ifa ?
graces everything he touches with spiritual, uplifting vibes. Offering, a mix
album released by R2,
came out in 2002.
Hope you go - let me know how it was if you do.
