This news comes by way of Charles Kim…

So a few months ago, I posted a blog entry about Sam Geunjin Kang and his album. I had the pleasure of both playing and helping produce it. It was an album worked on by friends and mentors. But on a more profound note, it was also an album made by Koreans and Blacks (and a Japanese dude)… in LA of all places… coming together to create good art, not for the sake of racial reconciliation. I felt like this was a beautiful project precisely because it was about creating community through, rather than focusing solely on social issues. And we still in contact and still feel like family today… perhaps a testament and hope to what art can do for communities.

But the reason for this post is not to talk about the album. Rather, it’s to announce the release of Sam Geunjin Kang’s music video!!! It was shot, directed, and conceptualized by some of the dopest, kindest, and giving guys I’ve had the privilege of meeting, Wong Fu Productions. The whole process was great. The “actors” are just friends, everyday people. So most of the scenes that you see are actually people laughing, joking, and having a good time. I love it when everyday people are used in videos. It gives it such a natural and organic vibe.

Anyways, enough rambling. I present… “Red Light” by Sam Geunjin Kang, directed by Wong Fu Productions.

And if you’re interested… he also just finished a new tune… and uploaded it to youtube for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
