Do you remember the song mistadobolina? Well, the guy that sang that song, Del, is back and is hot right now… sharing his time between Gorrilaz and his own band. To check out Del tha Funkee Homosapien, go to Agave tonight and see why he transcends rap and includes jazz and funk into one of the best live shows around.
