In this episode, I speak with the Original Harlem Slim, Tito Deler. He shares the vision of his album, the connection to Hip Hop, His travels to Mississippi, and the importance of a Godly walk! Born and raised in uptown Manhattan, Brother Tito Deler is the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic. With a natural gift for music, Tito started playing piano at an early age and picked up the guitar by age eight. But it wasn’t until he was 38 that Tito found his true instrument, a steel body National Resonator guitar. He started writing music of his own, combining sounds from his New York upbringing with the style of pre-war Mississippi Delta blues. He released his first record, The Original Harlem Slim, which was named one of the top 15 albums by Other Music in 2012. READ MORE HERE:
