Art of Invention Song Honors Inventors for African Heritage

Feb. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Malvern rapper, Jair Dynast 'Art of Invention' was released as a free mp3 download on February 3rd to coincide with his performance of the song for the first time to students at Winston Churchill Collegiate and it was an instant hit.

It is now available via a zshare link on jairdynast.com and in one day got 3,557 downloads. ‘Art of Invention’, is a song written to pay tribute to the significant contributions African-American inventors have made to modern society.
 
Jair's performance is part of a special workshop that he is conducting across Toronto District School Board high schools during African Heritage Month. His workshop places emphasis on 'this invention is black' by highlighting nine African-American inventors.  A website, ThisInventionIsBlack.com has been set up to pay tribute to the inventors, highlight their contributions and offer inner-city kids a place of inspiration all year.

Jair is a former Eastern Commerce graduate that traveled to Connecticut in pursuit of a basketball scholarship achieving success at a Division I JUCO in Texas. However, fate was unkind to Jair a year into his athletic scholarship - he was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, a condition that often kills young athletes suddenly.

His debut album, V.I.A.L.E.N.C.E., achieved RapReviews Top 10 Album of the Year, along with the #1 single on the Top 30 Grassroots Hip Hop Charts. Features in Blues & Soul, Knowledge Magazines, U.K., Nation-News, Barbados, two showcases at the CMJ Music Marathon and others followed. Recently, Jair’s, ‘My Style’ reached #34 on Masspool MP3 DJ pool on the Top 50 Charts above some famous peers and is now circulating at Canadian urban radio nationally.

Jair’s next workshop/performance is February 12th at Cedabrae C.I.  On February 17, Jair Dynast will deliver the Keynote Address at the Imagine Student Success Conference.
