0ver the past two decades I have watched the progression of the adult contemporary music industry. I have observed the creative musicianship of the Motown era be abandoned by many of today’s artists. The artistry and showmanship of past decades has been overtaken by unprofessional musicians, portraying and uplifting false images. Lafamila will uphold standards of true showmanship while portraying positive role models for today’s youth.
