January 9, 2014 7:30 PM AfroTaino Productions Presents: SLV + Daniel de Jesús at A Seed on Diamond Gallery

SLV is the musical project of multi-instrumentalist songwriters Sandra Lilia Velásquez and Sean Dixon. Velasquez (who also is founder of the critically acclaimed Latin band, Pistolera) & Dixon (of experimental electronic band Zammuto) recorded & released the SLV debut EP, "Dig Deeper" in early 2013 - featuring additional production by ten-time Grammy nominated bassist/artist Me'Shell Ndegeocello - and they haven't looked back. We/AfroTaino were lucky to present SLV twice in Philly for their Dig Deeper Tour, and witness the groovy hypnotic sound.
And hypnotic it is: SLV's live debut at Joe’s Pub in New York City left the audience on a musical high. Feast Of Music, a music site, said, “SLV transported the audience to a different time and place… her energy blanketed the audience… Leaving the deepest impression was SLV’s absolute authenticity.” Their sound can be best described as "moody, intensely personal pop songs with a subtle electronic edge." Not only are we looking forward to a new SLV show in Philly (as Velásquez promises to debut songs from the new, unreleased full-length album), but we think the pairing of SLV and the opening act, Daniel de Jesus, couldn't be more perfect. Also known for leaving deep impressions, cello-wielding front man Daniel de Jesús captivates with his powerful, soaring vocals and steals the hearts of all mortals in his presence. Having supported tour stops for major music acts like K.D. Lang, Patti Labelle, and alt-crossover acts like Jesse & Joy, Smoke Fairies, and Faun Fables, de Jesús boldly steps into the spotlight, and his fans couldn't be happier. In 2014, he released two EPs - one in English, one in Spanish - and another EP with bonus tracks & remixes. Beat Latino radio program spoke in awe of his music: "de Jesús creates music that is deemed the 'alternative to Latin alternative music', and inspires an original vision of classical music, with religious elements & gothic nuances" Like a New Year baptism, he blesses his hometown of Philly with a show. Prepare to swoon & to be swept away by these two incredible acts.
