Are You Young, Queer & Making Art or Music? You’re BANJI!

“What is Banji?” I asked myself as I read an email from Babes announcing Saturday’s event in Secret Project Robot. The event caught my interest especially because it comes from the person that conceived Bushwig, takes place at the same space and, as Babes told me, is kind of a pre-roll for the upcoming reincarnation of Bushwig. In the end I did what every person in the 21st century would do – I googled it. After weeding through entries about dinosaurs and small villages in Iran, I found Sharaya-J’s newest single called “BANJI,” which stands for Be Authentic Never Jeopardize Individuality. I thought I understood, but when I talked to Simon he told me that it wasn’t quite that.
