Erykah Badu

Are you on the Erykah Badu Funk train? While you have probably heard or seen, "Window Seat" and the Matt and Kim's "Lessons Learned," I still though it deserves a post. Recently, I was watching Lady Gaga's video "Telephone" featuring Beyonce, which has a lot of partial nudity. And when I juxtaposed "Telephone" with "Window Seat," I saw in "Window Seat" something very essential, a truth of the self. That truth feels tangible and freeing-as we can all strip down and walk the streets naked or find some way to rid ourselves of demons. And as Badu explains, "'Window Seat is about liberating yourself from layers and layers of skin or demons that are a hindrance to your growth or freedom, or evolution."

Just what is the Chicano avant-garde?

This looks like an interesting show. If you are in NYC go check it out and let as know what you think. Here is Walter Robinson's review on artnet.com: "Just what is the Chicano avant-garde? "Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement," the impressive new exhibition at el Museo del Barrio, can give you some kind of an idea -- though the show is not altogether straightforward about it, as the evasive title might suggest...."

LA 33 Y BOMBA ESTEREO EN EL D.F. ESTE JUEVES

Noche colombiana con La 33 y Bomba Estéreo

Jueves 25 de marzo / 21:00 hs. / Lunario / $400

Una noche para bailar al ritmo de dos grupos colombianos. La 33 es una orquesta de salsa inspirada en el formato neoyorquino y una de las agrupaciones más extrovertidas y alegres de la actualidad. Bomba Estéreo, es uno de los grupos musicales más importantes del movimiento colombiano alternativo. Han creado un género que ellos mismos denominan “electro vacilón contestatario” al fusionar la música tropical, como porro, bullerengue y champeta, con reggae, hip hop y música electrónica.

SINGS FROM THE EAST - PART 1

Some time ago we posted some pics from the street art scene we captured in Japan, now we are focusing specifically on the different signs we found around. There is a sign for almost everything, but the cool thing is how these are represented, in a sort of anime style.

Hace un tiempo publicamos algunas fotos del movimiento de street art en Japón, ahora aquí una fotos de los diferentes señalamientos que nos encontramos en en algunas ciudades. Hay un señalamiento pa casi todo, pero lo chido es la forma en que son representados, una onda tipo manga.
