Every Friday night, it begins again: RVA Mag brings you yet another excellent playlist curated by influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we’ve got a hot one, coming straight to you from bass whiz, leader of The Flavor Project, raconteur extraordiaire, and man-about-town Gabe Santamaria. If you know his work — with La Cocina Studios, The Hustle Season podcast, and a variety of other musical outfits around town that have benefitted from his skill with a bass — you’re sure to expect the powerful funk, soul, and Latin flavor that comes through on his playlist, along with a generous portion of hip hop to keep your head nodding. Your feet will move, your energy levels will go up, and you’ll roar like a lion as you start your March off right.

Shake your moneymaker, Virginia.
