"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music"

- Aldous Huxley

Mina: n. "Babe"; Very attractive person.

Capa: From the Italian Capo meaning chief or leader.  1) (syn.Habilosa) adj. Brilliant, Very intelligent.  2) n. One of the best in a profession, on a team, etc.

Taken from How to Survive in the Chilean Jungle: An English Lexicon of Chilean Slang & Spanish Sayings written by John Brennan and Alvaro Taboada

No folks, I do not have a super inflated ego, quite the antithesis of that actually. I wanted to come up with a name that held meaning and sounded original and creative.  The idea to incorporate a language besides English was essential, because I respect other communicative forms so very much.  So, that is where Mina Capa came from.  For me, music is a powerful language and force that is not to be reckoned with.

I had an amazing set this evening.  Everyone was so supportive and not to mention Terrence Parker rocked the socks off the house.  Thanks so much to Nate Unique and Steve Mishuggah for letting me celebrate their 2nd Birthday party with them and the 300-350 others that were there.

Absolutely memorable.
