Audiopharmacy & La Gente on Treasure Island
Live on Treasure Island Audiopharmacy plays its first San Francisco date since the group's tour of Asia accompanied by La Gente bringing a Mission District cumbia sound to the piece of San Francisco that most people drive by, but never land on.
AUDIOPHARMACY
Pulling together inspiration from all corners of the Earth, Audiopharmacy combines its talents to make a sound/culture that is avant-garde, yet always speaking the language of the people. Making music that moves the soul and stirs insight, Audiopharmacy- a 5-piece live Conscious Hip-Hop ensemble based in San Francisco, consists of founder - Teao (guitar & turntables), Native American (Pomo)/African lyricist - Ras K'dee (MC & keys), Keepyahjoy (bass & buckets), Pasha Brown (MC & Sampler), & Ras Kwome (drums & vocals). Spawned from its roots in hip-hop, Audiopharmacy is inspired to extend its repertoire beyond the genre by intricately fusing live instrumentation & global musical styles, making the Audiopharmacy sound consistently evolving & eclectic. Audiopharmacy, previously known as K.A.O.T.I.C. S.O.U.L.S. (Killing All Of the Ignorant Concepts So Others Understand Life's Source) has been one of the pioneers of the Conscious Hip Hop movement in the Bay Area since the mid 90's gaining accolades from other artists world-wide. Although their sound is one of a kind, fans of Audiopharmacy have identified their sound as the ultimate blend of Manu Chao, Portishead, The Fugees, & Midnite-while lyrically- they are reminiscent of the great Gil Scott Heron, Black Star with the spirit of Bob Marley.
Audiopharmacy has been blessed with the opportunity to collaborate or share the stage, both domestically & internationally, with many influential hip hop acts including the Wu Tang Clan, Dan the Automator, Michael Franti, Dead Prez, DJ Q-Bert, Grammy- Award winning Maya Azucena, Shing02, Aradna, and Swiss, to name a few.
