DCpic1 Though known mostly for its political ties, Washington D.C. is a city filled with arts, culture and fashion. For first time visitors, seeing the well known national sites can give you a sense of the city’s history, but it won’t necessarily give you a taste of the city’s flavour. For that, you have to venture to some of the eclectic neighbourhoods where DC’s diverse populations come together. In order to give a feel for what there is to do, see, eat and experience in DC, this mini guide is going to take you through the individual areas that make DC a truly great city. Most of the locations listed below are within walking distance so this could be done as a walking tour. Divided into categories of “Food” “Nightlife” “Shopping” and “Arts/Culture”, this guide should help you find the right places and spaces to make your “local” DC experience genuine and exciting.

Since her introduction in 2007 with the album day.break 2.0, Muhsinah has been highlighted by many as a stand out artist among a generation of contemporary artists breaking the moulds of soul music. The Washington Post describes her as "part of a new breed of young soul rebels who seamlessly meld electronic beats with layers of jazzy arrangements and unorthodox song structure."

From the balcony of a fly North London pad overlooking the Arsenal Emirates stadium, Muhsinah talks to SoulCulture about her DC roots, the experience of touring with Common and her musical transition away from samples and speeding towards vulnerability, from day.break 2.0 to The Oscillations and beyond.
