I ran into Jarobi from Tribe Called Quest at Streetbird, chef Marcus Samuelsson’s latest spot in Harlem, a few weeks ago. Heard that they are releasing a limited edition box set of 45’s to commemorate the’Tribe’ 25th anniversary of the 1990 debut “People’s Instinctive Travels & the Paths of Rhythm”. Fun, funky and infectious songs: “I Left My Wallet In El Segundo” and “Can I Kick It”, social messages: “Push It Along” and “Pubic Enemy” and much more soul and jazz inflected, great beats.
Above is my photo of ‘Tribe’, with Jarobi’s little brother taken in 1990, at Chelsea Flower Market which was the closest we could get in NYC to a tropical vibe. Love their afrocentric style mixed with true hip hop vibe. Yes I am still a big fan. You can catch Jarobi hosting down at Mobile Mondays! December 14 for the official release party after 10pm.
