Aubrey Aquino is in the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin, TX, for the latest edition of On The Flipside. On this show, we’ve got highlights from the inaugural World Basketball Festival in New York City. From Jay-Z’s kick off performance at Radio City Music Hall to the NBA’s LeBron James hanging out with kids in Harlem, we also hear from USA Basketball’s Kevin Durant, Jerry Colangelo, Mike Krzyzewski, and go international, speakin’ tongues with France’s Boris Diaw, China’s Yi Jianlian, Puerto Rico’s Carlos Arroyo and Brazil’s Anderson Varejao. And, we head over to EA Sports for LA Lakers Matt Barnes’ annual basketball camp, where he’s posting up with happy campers!

Then, it’s time to cruise with Golden State Warriors Rookie Ekpe Udoh as he sets sail with his CGL Sports family. Watch all the exclusive yacht party festivities and how it goes down in Miami. Rounding out this episode, we go behind the scenes with Sweethearts for Soldiers on location in Jacksonville photo shoot for their annual calendar. See these former NBA and NFL Sideline Distraction’s as they strike a military pose. All this and more On The Flipside.

Someone just put me on to this new Artist KIMBRA and I love her music. It has a great feel to it!

Read more about her

Passionate about mixing an array of genres and sounds into one with a soulful voice and twist to the average singer/songwriter. With anthem-like songs advised and emphasised with quirky jazz chords, Kimbras’ music steps outside the square of the four chord cliché but still mantains strong hooks and catchy melodies that are sometimes unpredictable but satisfying. With such ecclectic influences vocally and musically, Kimbras’ music adopts a fresh unique taste to acoustic music.

Having already received two NZ On Air grants and Second place in the Smokefree Rockquest 2004 along with Best Vocals and Womens Musicianship, music got its A into G from there. After 3 consecutive years in Rockquest (two of which were at the National Finals and gaining over $7000 in total from the generous competition) Kimbra created a slick live performance which was priceless along with many lifelong friendships. Grateful to Rockquest, live performance has been Kimbra’s aid and footstep into success with music. The competition trained her to perform with the state of mind like that of a band and attempt to provide rhythm, melody and the dynamics of a full band that separates her performance from other solo artists.

Kimbras’ first single was recorded at the infamous York St Studios with Welsh producer Greg Haver (who has worked with artists/ bands all over the world, including Manic Street Preachers, Lost Prophets, Carly Binding, 48 May, Falter and The Checks). ‘Deep For You’ was then funded for a Video which gained play on nationwide radio and C4.

‘Simply On My Lips’, the next funded song has recently been recorded at The Lab Studios with Nic Manders, is looking to be completed with a video ready for release by the end of this year.

This year, Kimbra was lucky enough to be asked to sing the National Anthem at the prestigious All Blacks vs. Ireland test match which served as an immense experience (singing to 30,000) and international exposure on television.

However, the passion clearly lies in writing. Equally determined to create lyrically provoking songs with blunt but purpose driven lyrics speaking of all of lifes ups and downs without having to pluck clichés from a diary. Desperately searching to find the balance between having space and musical depth. Preaching without force, frank but compelling, dancing on the side-lines of not-quite there but working nonetheless.

Breaking the rules but keeping them there as moral guidelines, with a voice to accompany the assortment of chords, with tendencies to adopt (or attempt) the voice of a black woman. Reluctant to put her music in a genre, but if forced, one might say a fusion of jazz, funk and soul. The voice providing a smooth but erratic texture escalating with grace then peaking with tortured emotion inspired by the likes of Jeff Buckley and Bjork. Always attempting to further the tone and character of her voice to create one that hasnt yet been.

Each song alit with its own harmonious discord, which aims to maintain structure but escape and exceed the limits of basic song writing. Upbeat, uplifting hooks with sing-a-long choruses and elevating progressions that buoyantly get heads nodding. Sincere on-stage presence contributes to the warmth and genuine atmosphere at gigs. With over 100 songs waiting to be toyed and twisted with a band, Kimbra is excited about the prospect of eventually recording an album.

Kimbra is now based in Melbourne and has just released her new single ‘Settle Down’ which will feature on her upcoming album ‘Vows’.

Mi papa y yo en las calle de Bucaramanga, Colombia

Mi papa y Hermano Johnny en las calle de Bucaramanga, Colombia

Mi Hermanita Jennifer!!!! We definitely are similar in many ways!

Right after Church, the street was packed! The cab in the back is my dad’s

Haha My little sis throwing the 400!!!!

Finally after 4 years, I had a chance to go back to Colombia and see my father and my little sister. My brother, who has not been back for 14 years, went to see our dad. It was definitely a great experience to be back with my family. Sometimes you need to take a moment to realize what you have and appreciate life. I felt so loved and welcomed over there it was very humbling. Everyday I spent there made me appreciate what I have over here. I was over there literally showering with cold water and no AC, little things like that do not come easy over here. I had a great time but now I’m back to my world and I miss my family!. I will be going back very soon…I LOVE YOU DAD and SIS!!!!!! See you soon
