About AfriCali Eyezon grew up in South Africa where he says music was the escape from the Apartheid, poverty and struggle going on at that time. Hearing the sounds of Hugh Masekela to Brenda Faso to Earth, Wind and Fire to Michael Jackson, Eyezon started to recognize that music would be his muse. He was introduced to Hip hop in school back in '94 or '95 by artists named Tumi (Tumi and the Volumes), Kao and others. He believes Hip Hop was similar to the slogans in South Africa, which were the songs and chants used when the people would march. His love for both Hip Hop and South African music stirred up his co-creation of AfriCali, which he shares with producer Nico Georis. Today their sound and culture has swept the California area and it is spreading, fast. Official website: www.AfriCali.com End
