From the Borough of Brooklyn comes Dollar Van Demos: a showcase of talented musicians, rappers and comedians performing inside a dollar van with real passengers.
Dollar vans provide a much-needed transportation for neighborhoods under-served by mass transit. Typically operated by West Indian drivers, the ride is cheap, adventurous and now immensely entertaining with the addition of performers singing their hearts out.
The music videos are produced, directed and edited by Joe Revitte with camerawork by Patricia Gray. The clips are uploaded to Youtube and other websites as well as broadcast on Brooklyn Cable Access Television. The videos started airing on February 15th, 2009 with additional clips added each week.
Current performers include crooner Sally Connors from New York City, hip hop artist Crosby from the Lower East Side, rapper Isaiah from Jamaica, Queens and reggae singer Leeia Music from Queens. Each performer's website is presented in the video's credits (as well as listed at the bottom of this release).
Additional production will be undertaken in March 2009 followed by more videos debuting in the weeks after.
