SUMMARY:Friday\, May 12th:  Mercy Myra w/ Mausiki Scales & The Common Ground
DESCRIPTION:ONE SHOW ONLY: 7:30PM.  \n\n\n\nOne of the most enjoyable entertainers anywhere! \n\n\n\nDefinitely born to sing\, Mercy Myra is lauded as Kenya’s leading female R&B artist\, often viewed as a female pioneer in the Kenyan music scene. She made her mark in the industry with a string of hits from two successful CD releases: Taba Samu (2001) and Nyisri Malong’o (2003). Favorites like “I’m Gonna Fly”\, “Maneno”\, “Life”\, “Imagine” and “Tie Dero” topped the African music charts. International performances\, tours and guest appearances came next\, as well as numerous awards and accolades. She feels very close to her newest single\, “Back Home”\, which touches on the subject of missing her native Kenya. Its grounded yet airy percussions\, as well as a subtle bass line allow the song to have a natural feel\, as if evoking the four elements of nature: water\, air\, fire and earth.  \n\n\n\nABOUT MAUSIKI SCALES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA virtuosic keys player\, Scales also sings\, composes\, arranges\, and plays African percussion instruments. But his musical education started early\, as he trained on piano from the age of eight and loved listening to classic soul music like Earth\, Wind and Fire\, the Emotions\, and Gil Scott-Heron. “One day\, I heard Parliament Funkadelic’s ‘Flashlight’ playing on the boombox and started playing along on the family piano\,” Scales remembered. “I never got it out of my system.”
