“I love hard and play harder,” says Brooklyn native Tamar-Kali. A purveyor of hardcore soul, Tamar-Kali first made a name for herself in James Spooner’s 2003 documentary, AFRO-PUNK, showing off her aggressive style and intense live performance. Born Tamara Colletta Brown, she has sung with such acts as Fishbone, OutKast, and Jean Grae, but she is now out there front and center with the release of her debut full-length, BLACK BOTTOM (OyaWarrior, July 2010). The album’s lead single is the raucous “Pearl” and also features the searing ballad “Caught” as well as such tunes as “Hollow,” “Maimed,” Warrior Bones,” and “Necromancer.” Tamar-Kali will be celebrating the release of BLACK BOTTOM at Littlefield on July 16, joined by DJ Soul Punk, the Cool and Deadly, Brown Girls Burlesque, and other special guests.
