NEW YORK — At Yonkers Voice (http://yonkersvoice.com/category/shefik-presents-invocation/), media personality Shefik launches content from his self-produced series, "Shefik presents Invocation" (https://invocation.co). Hailed as "the pulse of society", Yonkers Voice provides a forum where news that matters is discussed. It is a resource to the citizens of Yonkers, New York and the United States, thanks to their participation in community centers and events, while engaging the youth and community activists, and the people who count. Yonkers Voice identifies a need, and acts on it, in any way it can.
"As a resident of Yonkers, New York, I am excited to present my video productions directly to my hometown," says Shefik. "Yonkers Voice is popular platform that truly serves its community."
For the launch of "Shefik presents Invocation" at Yonkers Voice, video content features 2-time Academy Award nominee and Grammy Award winner Siedah Garrett; HRH Prince Emanuele Filiberto (Crown Prince of Italy and grandson of Umberto II, the Last King of Italy); multi-platinum recording artist Freddie Jackson; drummer and musical director Abe Fogle (Rob Thomas, Alex Bugnon, Kelis, D'Angelo, Kool and the Gang, Guy); recording artist and multi-platinum songwriter Janice Dempsey (Stevie Wonder, Daryl Hall, Smokey Robinson, Mick Jagger, Chaka Khan, Melba Moore, SWV); the recently deceased recording artist Trisco Pearson of Force M.D.'s; musician and bandleader Tito Puente, Jr. (son of the legendary mambo musician Tito Puente); and fashion designer Yolanda Franklin-Moore (Owner, Xande Fadee). Additional content will be added frequently.

"Shefik presents Invocation" is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking journey through musical discovery and appreciation that spans the decades. Content includes video footage, and its audio is severed and packaged as a conceptual radio show, currently broadcast on 21 terrestrial radio stations and frequencies throughout the United States.
