Detroit Video Daily is always ready to let you know about the great things happening in the city, and recently an artist named Sharon Vanderkaay shared a song with me called What I See in the D. She co-wrote the piece with Nahru Lampkin (the Bongo Man), and it highlights many of the pluses about Detroit. She produced a video for the song, and it's at the end of this post, but don't stop reading yet!

Not Only a Video

And when you're finished, be sure and view some of the art she has created. Her blog has some fantastic paintings. Click on the following link to see for yourself VanderPalette.com.

Also check out the Facebook Page for more about What I See in the D. And yes, you may recognize the talented Nahru from outside of Comerica Park where he provides entertainment to fans as they head to the game. Bongos, Detroit style!
Are there any other Detroit songs from local artists that I should look at on YouTube? Leave a comment and let me know!
K'Jon, On the Ocean...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment and steering me to the K'Jon song, On the Ocean. Just finished watching it on YouTube and giving it a "like". A talented artist from the Motorcity! Thanks again.
DeleteI also Liked this song. To me it tells a story that evokes the brighter future of Detroit and the creative spirit of Detroiters.
DeleteOur philosophy in creating this song,
ReplyDeleteWas to focus on what is strong,
Seeing beyond what's wrong,
Believing revival will not take long.
To improve what's wrong, the city must continue to attract money and investment from all kinds of sources. Emphasis on the word attract! The song - and this DVD blog - shines a light on Detroit's strong character, creative culture and maker roots. Solid and attractive!
Thanks so much for your post! - Sharon
