Let me tell you a quick bit about what has been happening with this musical duo. I won’t make this sound scripted and press release-ish, I will write it the way I feel it. Honest and direct!
These two musicians hail from our beautiful island Jamaica. If you are not familiar with this island, it’s the one bursting at the seams with talent.
Shango and ‘Pila, are personable and talented musicians who are lighthearted and loving. This comes through, or shines through if you would, in their music. They possess a vibe which makes you feel nothing but pure joy. In these perilous times, I’d say that’s vital, wouldn’t you?

Inner Circle new release: WE THE PEOPLE ft. Kabaka Pyramid
|
Kabaka Pyramid joined Inner Circle along with a variety of people, all from different ethnicities. The lengthy but painless day of shooting started off in Wynwood, with a wicked scene of about 50 youth walking behind Inner Circle, as if Inner Circle was leading them to freedom. Later, everyone reunited at Circle Village where the Jamacian vibes were felt best. With a Rastafarian theme, everything from the the stage, to the tables were painted red, gold and green. The Ital food was perfectly spiced, and the smiles on the guests were everlasting. It's safe to say this video shoot enlightened and lifted people's spirits. The video was directed by Young Chang from Krime Scene films in association with Abebe Lewis Marketing & Branding as well as Circle House Films. for info Contact here.

It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
