(le) poisson rouge

In 1997, DJs Rich Medina and Bobbito Garcia started collabing behind the turntables to the great pleasure of crowds in NYC and Philly. In ‘02, the two decided to start LEAVING THIS PLANET which had a torrid run at Manhattan’s Table 50 until the club closed in ‘05. In ‘07, they renamed the party HAPPY FEET, and it became the most talked about event of that summer. The eclectic selectors have since brought HF to crowds in Los Angeles, San Franciso, Amsterdam, Paris, and London. The pair blend genres seamlessly, so that a dancer, or listener, can experience Afro-Beat, Latin, Jazz, Dance, Breaks, progressive Hip Hop, and Soul in an unprecedented presentation. The achieved result is an entertaining night for the most die-hard rare groove fans or casual clubgoers. Everyone leaves with happy feet!

In 2009, HAPPY FEET comes to the Le Poisson Rouge venue in downtown Manhattan, and Rich Medina and Bobbito Garcia release their much anticipated compilation Connection: Modern Explorations In Afro-Beat & Afro-Latin (available on Double CD/Vinyl/Digital Download, www.r2records.co.uk/theconnection/). It promises to be a summer of excitement and unforgettable music & dance experiences!
