SAN FRANCISCO - EntSun -- Posted Courtesy of Wright Enterprises San Francisco~Dallas Community Spotlight~~~
Before going on a whirlwind weekend for Juneteenth Celebrations "Wave of Freedom" produced by the National Juneteenth Observation Foundation, Louisiana Hall of Famer David Batiste stopped driving long enough to speak with Jackie Wright, journalist, filmmaker, Director of NOSACONN's African Heritage Series and publicist for the San Francisco Black Film Festival.
David Batiste, one of seven brothers in his family, created the legendary David and the Gladiators rhythm and blues band that was highly acclaimed in the 60's and 70's. Known for his love of the melodica, the iconic instrument is passed down in the Batiste Family and is also played by his Grammy-award winning nephew Jon Batiste, the pianist and band leader for the Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert.
David Batiste, keyboardist who loves all genres of music, spoke with the San Francisco Black Film Festival (SFBFF) in recognition of one of several themes of the festival, Black Music Month, Juneteenth and Father's Day.
The San Francisco Black Film Festival for the past 24 years traditionally held in Black Music Month over Juneteenth weekend always ending on Father's Day, was founded by visionary and arts Impresario Ave Montague, who passed leadership on to her son Kali O'Ray and is now led in its second year by O'Ray's children, Cree Ray and Kali Ray Jr. Wright asked Batiste about the power of family and music when it comes to NOLA's Royal Family of music. The Batistes, NOLA's Royal Family of Music is so named due to the sheer numbers of the family members and the treasure of their pure musical talent. Musical talent is in the Batistes royal music DNA.

David Batiste, a father of 16 children, who delights in family and using the healing power of music to cultivate the next generation, will be 75 years old in September. One of the clips in the above interview shows "Sir David Batiste" of NOLA Royal Family of Music leading one of his grandchildren by the hand to be introduced to the audience of New Orleans' "Familygras" 2022. Another shows him at a local elementary school giving lessons on music and lessons on life. Learn all you can. Don't let someone else's definition of you determine your destiny. Believe in yourself; believe in God; believe in your family and respect all people and life are the basic tenets that "Sir David" shares with those who are blessed to encounter the constantly creative "Soul."
After lending his support to the San Francisco Black Film Festival that has a motto: "Healing the World One Film at At Time," "Sir David" began his whirlwind tour Juneteenth Weekend Celebration with Funkativity composed of fellow band mates Steve Williams; Michael Hampton; Damon Batiste; Herman Burney; Juju Gordon; Deon Cleancult; Anthony Nixon; Alisha Coleman; and Paul Hamilton III playing at Fort Monroe Outlook Beach in Virginia, Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C.
