Strictly Social March Photos & Video





Strictly Social's March edition was our biggest event so far as we finally fulfilled our promise of bringing together the worlds of soul and electronica. We brought you two rooms of sound which included stellar live performances from an eclectic trio of artists in the main room and a whirlwind of soulful drum&bass in the second room.

The night got off to an early start as special guest Rasheeda Wallace stepped onto a West Coast stage for the first time and wowed the growing crowd with her incredible voice and stage presence. Watch out for this girl from Harlem! Next up was local MC Brother Dvoaa who charmed the now packed house with his vibrant mic skills. Then former Mulatto frontman Diondre Jermaine showcased his new sound causing the Little Temple the rock out! The DJs brought the heat too! Our residents Myxzlplix and Destroyer kept it bouncing all night with their perfect selections and guest Al Jackson tore up the dancefloor.







Finally Strictly Social has grown to include a second room. Our friend Jayvon hosted Soul Good, an excursion into soulful drum&bass that was a much appreciated element in the Los Angeles scene. Sets by Jayvon, Reason, and Atlantic Connection kept it soulful all night. Check out a taste of the Soul Good flavor!

Omar in LA - April 7th





Los Angeles (March 20, 2009) – On Tuesday, April 7th, UK Soul Sensation, Omar will perform live at The Conga Room.
The show starts at 9pm and will showcase KCRW’s Garth Trinidad as host and DJ before and after Omar’s set.

After a five-year recording hiatus - during which time he’s built his own studio, set up his own label and been touring like a madman – the one and only Omar is back. Sing [If You Want It], released on Ether Records, the British soul supremo’s sixth and perhaps funkiest album so far features guest appearances from Stevie Wonder, Angie Stone, Common, Estelle, Rodney P, JC Bentley, Canitbe and Ashman, and with additional production from Omar’s brother, Scratch Professor.


It’s a brilliant collection of music that manages to break new ground for the artist, yet at the same time re-establishes that unmistakable, unique Omar signature sound with his army of fans. “On the last album, Best By Far, I was very influenced by soundtracks and Latin jazz,” explains Omar. “This time I wanted something a bit more funky, something to put my music back in the clubs. I still use the live instruments and the strings when I feel them, ‘cause that’s me, but the kick and the snare are much louder this time. That’s why my brother’s more involved, ’cause he’s great with those hip-hop beats.”

Tickets are priced at $30 for VIP and $18 for GA.
There is a special LIMITED $12 ticket for Fusicology readers - just type in code FUSEOMAR when checking out via this Ticketmaster Link - General Admission (GA) only.


Tickets can also be purchased through The Conga Room Box Office. For more information please call 866.95.CONGA.
