REGGAE 4 JAPAN CONCERT FEAT. MIGHTY CROWN

2011-03-26T22:13:00.003-04:00

BIG UPS TO THE MIGHTY CROWN CREW, IRISH & CHIN & VP RECORDS!
To support Japan's earthquake relief, Japanese sound system and ambassador of Reggae music Mighty Crown and their management team Irish and Chin, are calling on the Reggae community and all people for help. Namely, Mighty Crown and Irish and Chin, with support from VP Records and media partner Irie Jam Radio, are staging "Reggae 4 Japan" on Thursday, April 21 at York College in Queens, New York. Slated to feature top Reggae music acts, the benefit concert's proceeds will go to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake Relief. The country of Japan has experienced great devastation and crisis as a result of the earthquake, subsequent tsunami, nuclear power plant explosions and partial meltdown. Japan is in great need of aid as they deal with the aftermath of recent horrific events.

Mighty Crown, who was in Japan at the time of the Earthquake, witnessed the impact of the disaster on their homeland. Passionate about aiding Japan, Mighty Crown reached out to the Reggae community and they responded without hesitation. It's clear that Reggae music is a universal music and force that unites all people. Just as Japan wholeheartedly supports Reggae music and culture, the Reggae music industry/fans support Japan. "In this life, it's all about helping each other....when one is in trouble -- you reach out and help," says Masta Simon, co-owner of Mighty Crown. "I am forever grateful for the support of the Reggae community in this effort......with such a great need for relief in Japan, I am calling out to all people to help." "Regardless of one's connection to Japan -- be it Reggae music, electronics, automotives, fashion, etc. -- I am calling on everyone to come out and support," Masta Simon adds passionately.

VP Records dutifully stepped in to support "Reggae 4 Japan" by providing the majority of entertainment pegged for the line-up. Their swift response is an indicator of the commitment that the Reggae industry has to helping Japan. "We are happy to be involved in 'Reggae 4 Japan,' as Japan has incessantly embraced Reggae music and culture over the years," says Chris Chin, owner of VP Records. "We are showing our care and appreciation for Japan and thank our artists for donating their time and talent for such a good cause.......ultimately, we would like to see large numbers of people come out to support this extremely important event.

The line up will be announced in the days to come, once appearances are finalized. Based on the artists who have already confirmed, "Reggae 4 Japan" will be a benefit concert of epic proportion and for a great cause. IrieJam Radio also graciously stepped in to rally support from other radio outlets in the Tri-State area by coordinating advertising efforts, interviews and other support. IrieJam Radio is lending a hand to ensure that "Reggae 4 Japan" is widely promoted and well attended.

This year is Mighty Crown's 20th Anniversary, but without question -- the spirit for celebrating this year has changed since the disaster. Because of Japan's crisis, even after "Reggae 4 Japan," Mighty Crown will be dedicated to helping their homeland overcome. Specifically, Mighty Crown/Irish and Chin will donate a portion of proceeds from their anniversary billed events to support efforts in Japan. Mighty Crown encourages all people to come out to the "Reggae 4 Japan" benefit concert on April 21. More event details will follow. Due to limited space, only select media will be permitted into the event. If you are a media outlet interested in covering this event, please contact Irish and Chin soon.

The Bay

2011-01-09T12:07:00.009-05:00

Just got back from "The Bay"(San Francisco Bay Area) Spent much of my time hanging out in Oakland where the music and party scene is jumpin off. Here is a random selection of some new things I was digging. First, Droop-E (son of E-40)dropped a mixtape called Black Diamond Life that is gonna be my Spring anthem. Check this video out of "Hungry" from the album. The album samples Sade's Black Diamond and since Sade doesn't let folks sample her work the album by Droop-E is for free. The group Zion I is another favorite from The Bay. This reggae infused track "Many Styles" is one of the many stunnas on the album "Atomic Clock". Of course a trip to the Bay Area is not complete without listening to some E-40. Check out this video for "Bitch" featuring Too Short. It also has some turf dancing in the video which is catching fire across the nation. The Turf Feinz video went viral on You Tube a while back, check it out in all its glory. This is just a small sample of what is coming out of The Bay. Look out for future posts from this diverse music scene.

Around 7 years ago we discovered la Chicha and we keep including this Peruvian genre in our sets. Barbes Records recently released The Roots of Chicha 2, the second volume which focuses more in the urban aspect of the music than the amazonian part as the first volume was. The album features more underground bands, but still with crazy names like in the first one. Check out this tune, it's mad.

NATIVE AMERICAN HIP HOP REPRESENTED BY LITEFOOT

2010-10-29T23:16:00.005-04:00

Two years ago my carnal Cha came down from NYC to Miami to take some photos as part of his SVA thesis photo project. During his visit we went to the Seminole and Miccosukee Native reservations and this is how we met Litefoot, Native American hip hop artist, actor y entrepreneur. You probably saw him in movies or TV shows like Adaptation, CSI Miami, etc. After Cha took some shots of Litefoot, he shared one of his CD's with us and we also got a couple of t-shirts from his clothing line Native Style.

This is one of his videos entitled “Different People” from his album “Relentless Pursuit.” Litefoot will release his newest album “The Testament” which can be downloaded right here at www.litefoot.com on November 11, 2010. The album is a blend of contemporary rap music infused with Native American perspectives and tribal rhythms for the masses to enjoy. I

Iyah Haile Israel - Jahman The Africa by lafamilydub

Some months ago we escaped to the Hawaiian Islands, nothing but a great experience. Everything was great, food, views, beaches, waves and of course the music. Like every place we visit, we explored the music scene in the islands and we found awesome stuff. Caribbean beats are the specialty of course, specially reggae music, it's all over the radio, stations like Native FM never stop playing local and international reggae beats. Events in every island, while we were there Alborosie was on tour playing in different festivals.

These are some of the musicians/bands we found who play some varieties of reggae music such as jahwaiian music (mix of reggae and hawaiian music), dub, ska. Get a mai-tai, burn the fyah and enjoy these hawaiian vibes.

Hace unos meses nos escapamos a las Islas de Hawaii y fue una gran experiencia. Todo estuvo brutal, comida, paisajes, playas, olas, y por su puesto la música. Como es costumbre en cada lugar que visitamos, nos dedicamos a explorar la escena musical y encontramos cosas chingonas. La música caribeña es la especialidad, en especial el reggae que no para de sonar en la radio, estaciones como Native FM no paran de programar reggae local e internacional. Había eventos en cada isla, mientras estabamos por allá Alborosie esta de tour tocando en diferentes festivales.

Estas son unas bandas/artistas que encontramos que tocan una variedad del genero, música jahwaiian (mezcla de reggae con música hawaiana), dub, ska. Echense un mai-tai, prendan el fuego y gocen estos ritmos hawaianos.

LFD's Carlos Alvarez Montero will be showing part of his new series "SCARS" at the illy issimo / SVA “Revealing Purity and Authenticity in Urban Life” exhibition in NYC next week (october 4-10) along with Igor Aronov, Matthew Baum, Giselle Behrens and Caroline Shepard.

Here is a little explanation about the exhibition:

“Revealing Purity and Authenticity in Urban Life” is an exhibit that explores the straightforward language of photography as a means to investigate signs of authenticity and purity in an urban setting. Open to the public for one week only from October 4 - 10, selections from “Revealing Purity and Authenticity in Urban Life” will be presented at the illy issimo AuthentiCity Lounge, located at 632 Hudson Street, in New York’s famed Meatpacking District during the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival.
“Revealing Purity and Authenticity in Urban Life” marks the final stage of a photography project created by illy issimo’s partnership with New York’s School of Visual Arts, with the aim of celebrating and supporting young emerging artists and challenging them to explore signs of authenticity and purity in urban settings.

Open to SVA students and alumni, the project began with more than 200 photographers who were charged with capturing their vision of urban life. Through a series of juror selections and exhibitions, five of the 200 photographers were selected to continue their work and each received a cash prize of $3000.00. Project winners were then chosen to be featured in this dedicated exhibition at the illy issimo AuthentiCity Lounge.

The winning photographer will be announced during the exhibition and will be awarded a cash prize of $10,000 as well as an assignment to execute an original photograph for illy issimo.

Monday, October 4 – Sunday, October 10

632 Hudson Street, between Horatio and Jane Streets, New York City

Hours: Monday and Thursday: 11 AM-8 PM
Tuesday and Wednesday: 11 AM-4 PM

La proyección del documental corto "Our Lady of the Bronx" de Carlos Alvarez Montero, la cual llevará a cabo en el Club Atlántico el miércoles 16 de junio a las 08:00pm.

"Our Lady of the Bronx" relata la peregrinación dedicada a la Virgen de Guadalupe que anualmente emprenden en las calles de Nueva York jóvenes mexicanos, todos miembros de un club de bicis Lowrider basado en el Bronx, Los "Firme Rydaz".

El documental de Carlos Alvarez Montero no sólo registra en una estética urbana ese acto de amor por un ícono del catolicismo pero también propone decifrar que significa ser mexicano en otro lugar.

Al terminar la proyección habrá un Q&A moderado por Daniel Hernandez.

Cada día, los diez editores participantes se encontrarán en el magno patio del Museo Experimental El Eco, dentro del recién inaugurado pabellón temporal diseñado por la arq. Frida Escobedo para conducir un maratón de entrevistas con los personajes y pensadores más influyentes de la ciudad de México (incluye arquitectos, urbanistas, artistas, historiadores, cineastas, activistas, músicos, etc.). Las pláticas sucederán en español e inglés con traducción simultánea, y terminarán con una fiesta cuyo anfitriones serán algunos de los blogs de música con más fuerza de la ciudad. -Tomo.com.mx

SONIDOS FROM DOMINICANA MAKIN' LA GOZADERA

BACHATAZO

MERENGON
Tono - Hot Dog by lafamilydub

GAGA

El pasado mes de Diciembre nos dimos un rol por República Dominicana, y como ya es tradición fuimos en busca de los sonidos de este lugar. Así que el primer día directo a buscar sonidos a las calles. Nos encontramos con cosas típicas como el merengue, bachata, otros ritmos locales que tal vez no son tan populares o no se escuchan tanto fuera de RD pero que suenan heavy en este lugar como el mambo y el Gaga (genero musical de Haiti -Rara-, llevado a RD donde se conoce como Gaga).

En RD la música no para de sonar en las calles, playas, bares, carreteras, colmados (pequenas tiendas ), coches, es una gozadera continua y como era fin de año la gozadera era doble. Estas son unas imágenes y algunos sonidos de lo que es RD estos días. Descarguen las rolas, a ronear, cervezear y a balilar.

-

Last December we went to Republica Dominicana and to follow the tradition in every trip, we went straight to the streets in search of the sounds from this place. We found the typical stuff like merengue and bachata, and other local sounds very popula in RD but not outside the country like mambo and Gaga (music genre from Haiti imported to RD known as Gaga there).

Music never stops in RD, you can hear it in the streets, beaches, bars, colmados (little stores), cars, a non-stop gozadera and since it was the end of the year, the gozadera was even better. These are some images and sounds of RD these days. Download the songs, get your rum and beer and dance.

A message from Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys)

2010-04-20T16:16:00.001-04:00

Today we received this message from Adam Yauch (MCA) in a newsletter from the Beastie Boys:

hello,

wanted to send this out to you guys in case you were into it, or wanted to give it to anyone who you think might be.

a few friends and i are meditating at the same time twice a day. 9:30am and 6:30pm eastern standard time, for about an hour and half.

we are picturing smashing apart all of the cancer cells in the world.

we are visualizing taking the energy away from the cancer, and then sending it back at the cancer as lightening bolts that will break apart the DNA and RNA of the cells. if you have the time, please join us in whipping up this lightening storm. mind over matter......

if you prefer to sit then sit, but if you are not used to meditating, or sitting quietly doesn't sound like fun, put on some music and dance while you do the visualization, and if you want to do it at some other time, or picture curing some other illness that's fine too. yoko will be joining the meditation by visualizing all of us dancing with joy to celebrate the world without cancer. all variations are welcome. this is really just being done with a wish for all beings to be cured of all illnesses and to find true lasting happiness.

i'll also be saying prayers for the earthquake victims in tibet, so join in on that if you can too.

please feel free to pass this onto anyone who you think may find it interesting.

with all my love,

adam yauch

Erykah Badu

2010-03-30T23:18:00.003-04:00

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...."

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.

2010-03-18T12:00:00.019-04:00

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.

BANKSY: FROM THE STREETS TO THE SCREENS

2010-02-17T12:11:00.003-05:00

Presented by Paranoid Pictures, "Exit Through the Gift Shop", supposedly a Banksy's film, is about to stencil the screens of the UK cinemas on March 5th. According to the street artists himself, this film "it's the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable and failed." The film tells the story of an eccentric shop-keeper-turned-documentary-maker who attempts to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on him.
Music by Geoff Barrow, with additional original music by Roni Size.

Presentada por Paranoid Pictures, "Exit Through the Gift Shop", la supuesta película de Banksy, está a punto de darle un estencilazo a las pantallas de los cines en el Reino Unido este próximo 5 de Marzo. De acuerdo al mismísimo artista de la calle, esta película "es la historia de un tipo que se propuso a filmar lo que no se puede filmar y falló". La película cuenta la historia de un exéntrico tipo encargado de una tienda que se vuelve director de documentales para tratar de ubicar y hacerse amigo de Banksy, todo para que el artista hiciera que la cámara regresara hacía director. Musica por Geoff Barrow, además de música original de Roni Size.
