About Oopapada
Musically speaking, the group's repetoire encompasses many styles including: Blues, Jazz, Salsa, Rock, Funk, etc... However, King's personal description for the music the group plays is called " Rutude Music". This is a combination of two words--roots and attitude, which means to perform a variety of music in a person's global heritage and include other cultural influences.
Oopapada currently has several CD's in circulation. They are available through Uuquipleu Records ( pronounced yoo-kee-ploo). An additional release features the James Carter Organ Trio under King's auspices, plus more future releases with artists in varying combinations.
CD'S ARE DISTRIBUTED BY CD BABY at www.cdbaby.com and can also be purchased through Strata Nova Prod. Inc., Leonard King, Jr., P.O. Box 18096, Minneapolis, Mn. 55418.
