August 15, 2013 Live Connections: A Program that Creates Musical Opportunities for City Students

LiveConnections creates innovative, boundary-crossing music programming and education out of partner venue World Cafe Live. Through live concerts, interactive programs for youth and video technology, LiveConnections commissions artists from different genres to highlight how music crosses cultures and to reimagine the landscape of live music.
In 2008, when Live Connections was formed, World Café Live's David Bradley explained its mission:
"We're looking to figure out how artists can come from their backgrounds and traditions, meet other artists, and by working together - often for the first time - right in front of kids, kind of stimulate this idea of crossing perspectives, of being open to something different from your own experience."

"The real opportunity is to cross boundaries and to break open genres so that young people, who have an immediate affinity for music, can not form silos in their head that 'this instrument belongs here, this musical form belongs there, and I belong in this place and I don't belong there.'"

Live Connections is celebrating its fifth year on October 1, 2013. It has been opening the minds of not only kids, but adults with special needs in those five years. You can help this to continue by donating or buying a ticket to their October 1st anniversary party, Live Connections Fifth.

PhillyBloco is modeled after the blocos of Rio de Janeiro, with their large percussion sections and harmonic/vocal accompaniment. Our group is comprised of twelve drummers, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals, horn section, accordion, and Brazilian dancers. The group performs a raucous mash-up of SAMBA, FUNK, REGGAE and more made popular by both Brazilian and non-Brazilian artists including: Olodum, Timbalada, Monobloco, Bob Marley and Stevie Wonder. The one constant in all of our music is a heavy percussive element (12 drummers!) that we use to explore the tremendous range of Brazilian rhythms, applying our own unique creativity and energy to each arrangement.

Our music is extremely high energy, full of passion and feeling. We want to make people dance, feel good, and give them something to celebrate every time they see us perform!

July 13, 2013 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM ¡¡Tropical​ismo Returns!! @ Black Box w/ SONIDO MARTINES (Bolivia)

Tropicalismo massive, we're back and coming at you LIVE this Saturday (Facebook event page HERE) with a very special guest --

Perched 13,000 feet above sea level, the Bolivian capital, La Paz, is not for the faint of lungs. For Sonido Martines, it's the high-altitude base camp for his continental excursions to dig up rare cumbia, chicha, and sonidera vinyls from across Latin America. Prowling back-alley record shops and massive street markets, Sonido Martines collects rare groove gems from Buenos Aires, Lima, Bogotá, and Mexico City, and is known for turning classic and obscure cumbias alike into dancefloor bangers.
His tastemaking talent led to the groundbreaking 2009 compilation, Sonido Martines Presenta: Nueva Cumbia Argentina, The Buenos Aires Implosion! on Soot Records. More recently, in February 2013, he went head-to-head with DJ /rupture on 2200 vs. 1100, a cumbia mixtape available in its entirely only at a single New York City taqueria, a wild throwback in the age of digital distribution.
