In the rareified world of feminine Hip-Hop, Brazilian/Chilean MC Yarah Bravo is the exception that could change the rules. Neither a sex kitten wannabe nor a puppet pawn for a behind the scenes producer, Yarah displays defiant intelligence, acute political awareness and a world-traveler’s sense of cosmic consciousness while exuding the streetwise cool of the neighborhood girl we all secretly love. As a member of London's underground supergroup One Self, Yarah slides effortlessly between soulful, jazz-inflected lines and determined rhymes while long-time partner and world-renowned beatsmith DJ Vadim lays down funky, hard-edged grooves and MC Blue Rum 13 fills out the sound with laidback raps. Ninja Tune’s One Self drops at Soundlab, along with Soul Rebel and Mr Invisible, for a multi-cultural Hip-Hop party Thursday (Oct. 26) at 9pm.
