In the ancient tradition of GRIOTS from Africa, the edutainment continues as this veteran California Educator cements today’s important social and political issues ‘digitally’ for the unforeseeable future. “Just as Politicians and great leaders have a responsibility to inform and lead their people, so do musicians and artists. I believe music is a significant element in communicating to the people - positive and uplifting thoughts.” – Pupa Curly
