June 5, 2015 6:00-9:00 PM Philadelphia Folklore Project's 28th Birthday Bash and Folk Arts and Social Change Awards at the Painted Bride Art Center
The Philadelphia Folklore Project (PFP) will celebrate its 28th year with a Birthday Bash on Friday, June 5, 2015 at the Painted Bride Art Center. As an organization that has been cultivating folk arts and social change since 1987, the annual benefit is an opportunity to celebrate the importance of local communities and cultural traditions that matter.
Honoring people who have drawn on the power of community-based folk arts and cultural traditions to advance social change in our region (and beyond), the 2015 Folk Arts and Social Change Awards recognize how decades of work have built new futures for all of us: creating community well-being, upending racism and injustice, building self-determination, equity and power. This year's awards go to Dorothy Gordon Wilkie & John Wilkie, Artistic and Musical Director of Kùlú Mèlé African Dance & Drum Ensemble and Kormassa Bobo, Liberian dancer.
Dorothy Gordon Wilkie and John Wilkie
Dorothy Wilkie
is a dancer, choreographer and teacher, who dw 2specializes in dances of West Africa and the African Diaspora. She has studied in Cuba, Ghana, Guinea and Senegal, and has developed a particularly deep knowledge of African Cuban dance and spiritual practice. As Artistic director of Kùlú Mèlé African Dance Ensemble, she teaches dance to youth in Philadelphia's underserved communities and has recived numerous awards for her work. John Wilkie
started playing conga drums in the 1950s. A jwmember of Kùlú Mèlé since the 1970s, John now serves as music director of the ensemble and also performs with Spoken Hand Percussion Orchestra. Many of Dorothy’s and John’s former students, dancers and drummers have gone on to found their own companies or perform professionally; many credit Dorothy and John with having inspired them to delve into African-rooted movement and music traditions, connecting those practices with efforts toward social justice. Dorothy served on the Folklore Project’s board for many years; John was a PFP artist-in-residence; and we’ve collaborated with Kùlú Mèlé on numerous community-based programs over the decades.
About the award: Ella Kong Torrey helped PFP to get our first grant. Even more important, she encouraged us to imagine possibilities and to follow dreams which could open new pathways. Founder of the Pew Fellowships in the Arts and many other innovative programs, she valued and embodied generosity of spirit.
Kormassa Bobo
Born into a family known for its skill in dance and music, Kormassa kormassaBobo has been dancing since she was a child with her father’s troupe where she was singled out to join the Liberian National Cultural Troupe. There, Kormassa mastered traditional dances of Liberia’s sixteen ethnic groups. She first came to the US in 1984 with National Troupe, moved to Philadelphia permanently in 1985, and has performed with Liberian dance companies across the continent. A skilled teacher as well as a dynamic performer, Kormassa has dedicated years to training young Liberians who arrived here as refugees. She also took fellow professional Liberian dancers and musicians under her wing, re-connecting them to one another and introducing them to local resources. Kormassa participated in PFP’s “Philly Dance Africa” and school residency programs and our Liberian Culture Camp. She was integral in developing our 2012-2013 Liberian Community Performance Project.
About the award: Channavy Koung was a wonderful young artist in her family's Cambodian music ensemble, dedicated to carrying on valued artistic traditions. She and her family inspired PFP's early work with local Cambodians, and modeled how persistent devotion to cultural practices, over the long haul, can create hope and possibilities.

June 5 , 2015 6:00-9:00 PM Etienne Charles' "Creole Soul" at the Barnes Foundation
Take a soul-searching journey with Trinidad-born trumpeter Etienne Charles'Creole Soul as we hit a high note with our first African collection catalogue. Includes a short talk about the catalogue and a book signing.
African Art in the Barnes Foundation is the first catalogue of the 123 African objects, most of which originated in French colonies, that Albert C. Barnes acquired between 1921 and 1924. These include significant figural sculpture and masks as well as utilitarian objects. Barnes was one of the first people in the United States to display African objects as art, at a time when they were considered ethnographic specimens. The African collection is central to understanding Barnes’s socially progressive vision for his foundation. His lifelong commitment to the advancement of African Americans and his vision of social justice through education led to his promotion of African art and his early involvement in the Harlem Renaissance.
Etienne Charles has garnered a warm response to his Caribbean roots-informed jazz. Creole Soul, his biggest record so far, promises a career of ebullient and intimate artistry. As befits an artist who excels with such a diversity of musical styles, Charles has performed with a range of musicians, from Roberta Flack, René Marie, and David Rudder to Wynton Marsalis, Johnny Mandel, and the Count Basie Orchestra. The New York Times calls him "one of [jazz's] more ambitious soloists and composers." JazzTimes applauds him as a "daring improviser," and DownBeat celebrates his tone as "melodically captivating" and "rhythmically agile."

May 28, 2015 8:30 PM Chicano Batman at the Trocadero
"The band known as Chicano Batman – comprised of members Bardo, Carlos, Eduardo, & Gabriel – are officially rock stars. Say it ain’t so: They took Coachella’s crowd on a magic carpet ride, on a breeze of wah-wah reverb and gurgling organ riffs, leaving rock ‘experts’ like Rolling Stone magazine standing in a pool of their own drool & confusion, purple stains on their faces. Unable to fight it, they proudly claimed Chicano Batman as one of the top 25 things they saw at Coachella. Another example: The boys were recruited to be the official opening act for ex-White Stripes blues/rock trailblazer Jack White, on his tour through the midwest. After churning the slow-cooking pot of traditionalist rock with a different rhythm (and sabor), new audiences couldn’t help but notice, and accept, for better or for worse, that a different perspective of Rock Music exists. It’s colored in samba melodies, with a fluid framework of song structure, morphing from Free Love-era rhythm vamps to Fela-fueled bass thumps. It’s not a headbanger’s ball anymore. Not that there’s anything wrong with headbangers – come one, come all, this land was made for you and me, y’know? But I prefer my Rock hard enough to crack a smile from the hardest chola; this Rock is deep, educated from a library filled with the history of Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson, Jorge & Carlos Santana, and more blue-collar Blues. All the influences are there for purists to approve – but you can’t deny that it tastes different…better. In fact, you LOVE it, and want more. The Bat-signal is in the sky, the cumbia is rockin’ & rollin’, and we’re gonna headbang to this stone groove – the same way the rest of America is doing it when Chicano Batman comes to town. Real talk: To hear a band bridge so many genres into one cohesive groove, traversing musical generations is amazing; to see them enact the fusion live on stage? Well, that is some official Rock Star magic."
