Sol Power All-Stars late summer Afro-Latin burners.

Sol Power All-Stars

13-September-2012

The Sol Power All-Stars are Meistro, DJ Stylus, Deep Sang with Hermon Farahi on percussion.

A mutual love for the sounds of the African diaspora was the spark for the crew coming together. The Sol Power selection arsenal draws from samba, salsa, afrobeat, cumbia and other deeply rooted genres as well as their modern electronic versions. Whether it’s a classic Dominican merengue or a driving afro-latin deep house track, Hermon Farahi’s expansive vocabulary of rhythms on percussion binds it all together.

In November of 2010 the crew moved on to a residency at the world famous Eighteenth Street Lounge and since August 2012 can also be heard at their bi-weekly event "Shrine" at the newly opened Tropicalia. (www.tropicaliadc.com)

In September 2012, the crew released their first EP on GAMM Enterprises, Inc.
