GO! OHANA June 2010

If you’re in the SF Bay Area, check out GO! OHANA this week. GO! OHANA is RAMA’s monthly APA music and art show. Emceed by Ryan Takemiya, the event showcases independent Pan Asian art on a one-of-a-kind stage at La Pena Cultural Center. Here’s this month’s line up:

The Magic of Chin-Chin
Growing up in the Bay Area, his fellow magicians dubbed him “Master Prodigy” for his great aptitude in the art of magic at a very early age. Soon the master prodigy became a master. Three times awarded “Stage Magician of the Year” in San Francisco, Chin-Chin has become the most awarded magician in the Bay Area. He combines the art of illusion with a hilarious and dynamic personality and intertwines a message of love and respect to present a show all audiences can enjoy.

JvoQalZ
You’ve seen his music videos for Nothing On Me and Summer Day in the Bay. Now see him perform live.

Infinity Funk Project
The Infinity Funk Project, based out of San Francisco, Ca stand by the phrase “four funky emcees collaborating as one.” Mikey Manifest, Viberoc, Sol Solution, and Mild Mannerd J assembled in August of 2007. Coming together to touch people and make a heart beat in their city, the bay area and worldwide. Bringing their own individual styles through hip hop, feel good music, and a taste of funk back into the modern everyday culture.

ALICE TONG
Alice Tong, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, is currently touring the country to promote her 2nd Album “Please Be Brave Before the Lions They Come”, and will be joining us in Berkeley as she returns home to the Bay Area. Alice’s music has been described as “Absolutely soulful…her voice and music a long time coming for Asian Americans — something we have never heard before.”- Karen Lin, video producer
