A four piece band with an eclectic mix of rhythms bringing in Salsa, Caribbean, Funk and more, your feet are sure to start moving before you realize it!! One interesting stop on their summer tour was the Penn's Museum of Archaeology, I'm sure even the mummies wanted to bust a move.

July 26, 2014 6:00 PM 40th Street Summer Series Concert with Raphael Xavier W.O.R.X. Meets Bobby Zankel &The Warriors of the Wonderful Sound with The Avalon String Band

Raphael Xavier W.O.R.X. Meets Bobby Zankel &The Warriors of the Wonderful Sound This fusion act’s concept for this project is based on the idea that there are constant, fundamental elements of African American culture that transcend discipline, time period, style, and place of origin. They will examine and explore the notion that there are common spiritual and aesthetic principles and artistic devices and techniques that are utilized in parallel ways in music, and dance. They are looking to clarify the common thread that runs between music and dance, “Hip Hop and Be Bop”, “Breaking to the Avant Garde”.

Raphael Xavier: Raphael Xavier, is an award winning artist from Wilmington, Delaware who is credited for the resurrection and the growth of the Breaking community in Philadelphia from 1996 to present day and Alumnus of the world renown Rennie Harris Puremovement. Raphael is a Pennsylvania Fellow of the Arts and a 2013 Pew Fellow. A self taught Hip Hop dancer and Breaking practitioner since 1983, Raphael continues to learn and recreate new ways to expand the vocabulary of the dance form through research, performance and practice and staying present in the community.

Bobby Zankel and The Warriors of the Wonderful Sound:
In 2001, saxophonist and Pew Fellow Bobby Zankel founded the Warriors of the Wonderful Sound (WWS), a big band to perform his compositions and arrangements. The members of the ensemble have recorded alongside such masters as Cecil Taylor, Odean Pope, Steve Coleman, Johnny Coles, Mike Brecker, Ravi Coltrane, and Uri Caine.

Avalon String Band Since 1939, the Philadelphia region has embraced the musical styling and visual brilliance of the Avalon String Band, a member of the Philadelphia Mummers String Band Association. Avalon String Band performs upbeat music that features saxophones, banjos, accordions and percussion in the style of Philadelphia's Mummers Parade. Their custom sound has deep roots in traditional American sing-along music, popular music from the early to mid 1900s, swing, and big band. - See more at: http://universitycity.org/40th-street-summer-series#sthash.mmOzYyoV.dpuf

July 25, 2014 9:00 PM West Philadelphia Orchestra with El Caribefunk at Ardmore Music Hall

El Caribefunk
Welcome to El Caribefunk—an exotic fusion of Salsa, Funk, and Caribbean music, where undeniable rhythm and poetry express intense color and feeling and inspire “alegría” in its listeners. This band of Colombians has built a fervent underground following with 2.5 years of nearly non-stop touring in South America. They’ve headlined festivals with acts like Bomba Estereo, played live on Colombian National Radio, and performed on national television programs like TeleAntioquia. Despite their burgeoning success they can still be found playing casually in the plaza or jamming with street musicians after a show.
West Philadelphia Orchestra
With a diverse line-up of professional Philadelphia musicians whose influences range from Sun Ra to Bulgarian brass bands, West Philadelphia Orchestra is a unique live ensemble in today’s auto-tuned musical world. They began playing Romanian ballads, Macedonian folk-dance songs, Bulgarian wedding music, and Klezmer in late 2006, and have continued expanding their repertoire of Eastern European music. The band also plays original compositions which blend other sounds, like jazz and classical, together with traditional Balkan sounds. As much a community as a band, WPO’s performances are celebratory events. With blistering beats and walls of brass, they inspire audiences to hold hands, dance, and slip the yoke of the homogenized culture industry.

Conjunto Chappottín y Sus Estrellas

Conjunto Chappotti­n y Sus Estrellas
Conjunto Chappottín is one of the top Cuban "son" groups on the scene today. The founding of the band dates back to the 1940s and its founder, Arsenio Rodriguez, one the country's most renowned band leaders and a major influence on Latin Jazz and Salsa for decades. With his Conjunto, he was the first to add reed and brass instruments to a Latin band. When Arsenio left Cuba in 1950 to undergo an ophthalmological treatment in New York, he handed the musical direction over to his first trumpet player, Felix Chappottín. The band was renamed "Felix Chappottín y su Conjunto Todos Estrellas". Felix directed the band successfully until his death in 1983. From 1983 until the 1990s his son, Angel Chappottín Valdes carried on as musical director and since then the grandson of Felix Chappottín, Jesus Angel Chappottín Coto has directed the band together with singer/percussionist, Miguelito Cuni Jr.

ABOUT THE LECTURE:
Ilê Aiyê (www.ileaiye.org.br) was founded in 1974, in Liberdade, the largest Afro-Brazilian neighborhood in Brazil, and was among the first “bloco afro” or black samba organizations in Salvador, Bahia to pioneer the genres called samba afro and samba reggae. This distinctive style fuses samba with sacred Afro-Brazilian rhythms like Ijexá, as well as music styles from throughout the Americas and Africa such as merengue, hip-hop, and soukous.
A Yoruba term meaning, “House of Life,” Ilê Aiyê was created as a means of raising consciousness of the black Brazilian community through various education initiatives, and has become a renowned element of Bahian Carnaval, with thousands of Afro-Brazilian members and hundreds of drummers & dancers parading through the streets singing about African and Afro-Brazilian culture, history, and religion.

July 10, 2014 7:00-10:00 PM "This Planet is Doomed: A Sun Ra Celebration" at Penn Museum

Many know Sun Ra for his cosmic, avant-garde music and costumes, as well as his pioneering role in the Afro-Futurist movement, but there is not as much discussion of his sci-fi poetry. Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Sun Ra's arrival on Earth with an evening of poetry, futuristic sounds, and archival films in the Penn Museum's Lower Egypt Gallery, led by Pew Fellow CAConrad, writer Ras Mashramani, and Sun Ra biographer John Szwed, accompanied by the sounds of Buchla Music Easel pioneer Charles Cohen. DJs Anthony Campuzano and Jack Sloss close the night with an Afro-Futurist dance party tribute in the Kintner galleries. Presented in partnership with The Galleries at Moore and Ars Nova Workshop. Free admission.

Back in 1980, Sun Ra made a special appearance in the Penn Museum's Lower Egypt Gallery and offered his intergalactic philosophical musings on the bleak fate of Planet Earth for A Joyful Noise, Robert Mugge's jazz film about the prolific artist and his Arkestra.
