Mylo Mu (Visual Sonic Artist) “Frida Mayhlo” Experience

Berkeley, CA (Lemuria) May 28th, 2015 – Berkeley producer, rapper and painter identifies himself as Frida Kahlo in his new emotionally rich textured song entitled “Frida Mayhlo” produced by him and fellow artist K. Solar.

After releasing Black Power and Flowers on January 15th, 2015 Mylo MU (a student in African American Studies at UC Berkeley) has been swarming California Universities such as UC Santa Barbra’s Black History Block Party, UC Berkeley’s Stand Up for Syria Concert, and opening for Jidenna at Stanford University’s BLACKFEST with his psychedelic sound and electrifying Black Power chants.

Mylo MU releases his new collaboratively produced song with K. Solar entitled “Frida Mayhlo” in which he fashions himself as late great Mexican-born artist Frida Kahlo. MU, the 20 year-old South Central Los Angeles born producer, rapper and painter says he created this song being inspired by Frida Kahlo’s Self-Portrait Dedicated to Leon Trotsky (1937)

A piece of artwork purchased at Reprint Mint; a local Berkeley Art store on Telegraph Avenue. MU proclaims, “I made this song after reflecting on the depth of meaning and beauty embodied by Frida Kahlo as a figure and an artist I relate to. I sleep below her painting every night. I see a lot of similarities in the way we create art to reflect our identities”.

Mylo MU’s sonic art can be heard on Mylo Mu’s Cloud -- his self-produced album “Black Power and Flowers” and newly released Living Light EP
