NOW YOU CAN TAP DANCE IN BRAZILIAN CARNAVAL 2009... 
 
In 2008, Christiane Matallo made history when she 
spearheaded the 
effort to include a group of tap dancers from all over 
Brazil (and me 
the "Americana") in the samba school Mocidade Alegre... for 
the first 
time ever, a group of tap dancers were included not only as 
a featured 
choreographed segment, but also as part of the percussion 
for the 
Brazilian Carnaval Celebration in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We 
were flooded 
with news coverage and interest stories and it was by far 
one of the 
most exciting venues in which we performed in front of some 
of the 
largest audiences in the world! 
 
Back by popular demand, we are trying to make it bigger 
than ever by 
expanding to make this an international representation of 
tap dancers 
worldwide...Want to Tap Dance in one of the most popular 
parties on 
earth in February of 2009? Then send us your contact 
information with 
interest to be included for the group that will be tap 
dancing in Sao 
Paulo for Carnival in Sao Paulo, Brazil!

One Night Only for this Award-Winning Film 
 
 
Film: Los Zafiros (The Sapphires): Music From The Edge of 
Time (2007), produced by Lorenzo Destefano, with executive 
producers Randa Haines and Sandra Levinson, explores the 
memories of Manuel Galban and Miguel Cancio, the two 
surviving members of Los Zafiros, as they are reunited in 
Havana, Cuba. Los Zafiros are a musical phenomenon molded 
by their time and place that caused a sensation in Havana 
and beyond throughout the 1960's and into the early '70's. 
They were the "Beatles of 1060s' Cuba"Though they enjoyed 
international acclaim, touring widely throughout Europe, 
Los Zafiros have remained in relative obscurity throughout 
the U.S. as a result of the political climate of the cold 
war. 
The sensuality of their musical and personal style brought 
them a rabid female following and heavy air play on 
national radio, making them very much the Beatles. Four 
decades after their formation, Los Zafiros popularity, 
sparked by the successful 1998 release of the 
Spanish-language feature film "Zafiros - Locura Azul," and 
of the "Bossa Cubana" CD from World Circuit Records ("Buena 
Vista Social Club"). On a popular battle-of-the-bands style 
radio program hosted by Adrian Mesa of 92.3 Classica-FM in 
Miami in December 2001, Los Zafiros receive a majority of 
the call-in votes compared to their competition. For more,

The History of Los Angeles Graffiti Art  
Volume 2, 1989-1994 
 
RELEASE POSTPONED 
 
The release date for "The History of Los Angeles Graffiti 
Art, Volume 2, 1989-1994" has been postponed until November 
2008. We thank you for your support and will communicate 
the exact date shortly.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
About the Book 
 
The History of Los Angeles Graffiti Art Volume 2, 1989-1994 
assembles over 95 interviews of the most talented and 
prolific graffiti artists from the heyday of L.A.'s 
burgeoning urban art scene. Some of the writer's featured 
in Volume 2 are Skill, Anger, Haze, Chaka, Severe, Coax, 
Duce, Ganas, Jimer, Krush, Feevo, Oiler, Bruin, Vyal, 
Pranks, Kofie, Toomer, Hex TGO, Power, Sacred and so many 
more. This volume, like the first, is unlike any other book 
on the graffiti art phenomena. It is a collaborative effort 
by active graffiti writers who are dedicated to exposing 
the realities of this subculture. 
 
The graffiti writers interviewed in this volume have gone 
on to become some of the most celebrated and sought after 
artists of the 21st century. This book provides in-depth 
narratives from graffiti writers and artists who have 
hitherto only been know via their licit and illicit wall 
art and through urban lore. As graffiti artists themselves, 
the publishers, editors, and designers of this extensive 
volume have made certain that all the narratives and photos 
represent this true urban art form in a way that both 
educates readers of ethnographic texts and impresses 
consumers of quality art-books. 
 
In addition to first-time interviews with legends of West 
Coast Los Angeles graffiti art, the entire volume relies on 
many never-before seen photos that make the book as 
interesting as a photo essay as it is important as a 
sociological document. In addition, this book contains 
current photos that display the progression and influence 
of these writers. This book will be sought after by 
artists, historians, coffee-table book consumers, scholars 
and students in the social sciences, graffiti writers, and 
anyone interested in reading about and looking at one of 
the most talked about and often misunderstood cultural 
movements of all time. 
 
True to our ethnographic approach, every attempt has been 
made to preserve the proper context of photos as well as 
maintain the essence of the quotes, stories, and histories 
printed in this book. These are the stories, in the 
writers' own words, of how they got into graffiti, and what 
affect this subculture, the loss of friends, and the 
discovery of art and the urban environment had on them. 
Every story and first-hand account in this volume was 
provided through in-person interviews and correspondence 
over the course of more than a year. It was important to 
provide a primary account of the graffiti writer's story, 
and each is included because it represents the experiences 
shared by a community of other writers. 
 
Volume 2 contains over 420 pages and is comprised of the 
following sections:  
 
Experiences - Volume 2 contains over 95 exclusive detailed 
interviews. These interviews are "free-style," not 
scripted, and are based on each writer's experience, 
personal views and memories.  
 
Spotlights - Special tribute to all writers who made 
significant contributions and influences to the Los Angeles 
graffiti scene.  
 
Pieces/Burners - Common to never seen graffiti commonly 
referred to as "Pieces/Burners" showcasing Los Angeles 
graffiti Art.  
 
Battles - A special section dedicated to Los Angele's 
second era of graffiti "Battles" between some of the most 
prolific crews and writers of this era. 
 
Blackbooks - Historical detailed drawings done within 
sketch books called "Blackbooks."  
 
Articles - Newspaper and magazine articles related to 
historical Los Angeles graffiti subject matter.  
 
R.I.P. - Memorials for all respected deceased Los Angeles 
graffiti artists. 
 
 
About the DVD WATCH THE TRAILER!!  
 
The DVD supplement further delves into the culture of Los 
Angeles graffiti with all of the features and elements of a 
full-length quality documentary. This DVD stands alone in 
terms of its up-close, all-access, personal and unbiased 
perspective of everything from illegal "bombing" to modern 
day sanctioned graffiti "productions." Like the book, this 
DVD supplement enables you to look deep into the archives 
and personal lives of a subculture that typically thrives 
on secrecy as it paradoxically aims for fame and ubiquity.

THREE NEW SHOWS: MACAU, LAS VEGAS AND TOKYO 
ZAIA™ is the dream of a young girl who journeys into space 
on a strange, yet familiar voyage of self-discovery. As she 
travels, she encounters the beauty of humanity and 
eventually brings it back with her to share with the 
inhabitants of earth. Premiere: August 28, 2008 in Macau, 
China. 
CRISS ANGEL Believe™, created in collaboration with Criss 
Angel, one of the world's most avant-garde and provocative 
artists, is a voyage into the unlikely, an incursion into 
the very subconscious of an ingenious master of illusion. 
Premiere: October 9, 2008 in Las Vegas. 
ZED™ is a living poem, a timeless evocation that draws on 
the Tarot and its arcana, an imaginary world that conjures 
the vitality of the human condition and holds up a mirror 
to our true selves. Premiere: October 1st, 2008 in Tokyo.
