It has come to my attention that Banana Republic has been filming documentaries on Independent Soul Musicians. City Stories is a collection of mini documentaries that fuses the inspirational elements of city life--culture, fashion and music. In these short films, an eclectic pool of talented musicians, such as Ayo, Esperanza Spalding and David Sanchez, share their unique, creative experiences through song and stories while dressed in Banana Republic’s Spring 2009 collection. You can view these HERE and HERE which include performances from the featured artists

MORE: Ayo (pictured above) released a sophmore album, Gravity, which was released March 2008. It was recorded in 5 days in a live session. I had to get a late pass, so i was just putting it out there in case others didnt know...
