Intercultural Journeys Presents: Alex Shaw
Friday, November 21, 2014 - 7:30pm

International House of Philadelphia

3701 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA

Tickets: $15 general; $10 IHP members; $8 students

Specializing in the rich musical heritage of Afro-Brazilian culture, percussionist and vocalist Alex Shaw will be debuting new work featuring original material and his contemporary interpretation of traditional rhythms and songs of northeastern Brazil. Director of renowned Brazilian ensemble Alô Brasil, and long-time section leader in Spoken Hand Percussion Orchestra, he has been performing and cultivating the region's Brazilian music scene for many years. In recognition of Black Consciousness Day in Brazil, this program will pay special homage to the musical tradition of Capoeira Angola, an ancient Afro-Brazilian martial art with an enduring legacy of social justice and cultural resistance. Interactive video projections of vintage capoeira footage and other Afro-Brazilian cultural images will also be interwoven throughout the program to include another dimension of context and artistry.

The ensemble will feature some of the region's most respected musicians, including Alex Shaw - vocals, percussion; Patricio Acevedo - guitar, cavaquinho; Luke O'Reilly - keys; Mike Boone - bass; Jeremiah Shaw - cello; Tim Thompson - trumpet; Ernest Stuart - trombone; Zé Mauricio - percussion; Fernando Saci - percussion; Rucyl Mills - video artist.

A small ensemble of students from FACTS Charter School in Chinatown, Philadelphia, will join this performance as a culmination of an eight-week arts residency with Alex Shaw. Dr. Ken Dossar will also be present to provide some opening remarks about the legacy of Capoeira Angola.

Intercultural Journeys is a non-profit organization with a mission of promoting peace and cultural dialogue through music and other arts programming. Alex Shaw has recently become curator for Intercultural Journeys. You can like the Intercultural Journeys FB page here, and/or you can join the IJ event on Facebook here.

November 16, 2014 7:30 PM Crossroads Concerts Presents Corey Harris at The Rotunda

As a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and band leader, Corey Harris is both a leading voice of the generation of acoustic blues musicians that came of age in the 1990s and an innovative composer exploring the connections between blues and other musics of Africa and the African diaspora. He has recorded many traditional classic while creating an original vision of the blues by adding influences from reggae, soul, rock and West African music. Some of his imaginative compositions are marked by a deliberate eclecticism; other works stay true to the traditional blues formula of compelling vocals and down-home guitar. With one foot in tradition and the other in contemporary experimentation, Harris is a truly unique voice in contemporary music.
Harris began his career as a street musician in New Orleans and travelled throughout the southern US playing music. In his early twenties he spent a year in Cameroon, which has had a profound effect on his later work. He has recorded fourteen albums and worked with BB King, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy, R.L.Burnside, Ali Farka Toure, Tracy Chapman, Olu Dara, Wilco, and others. In 2003 Harris was a featured artist and narrator of the Martin Scorcese film, “Feel Like Going Home,” which traced the evolution of blues from West Africa to the southern U.S. In 2007, he was awarded a “genius award” by the MacArthur Foundation in recognition of his adventurous path marked by deliberate eclecticism.” That same year, he was also awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree by Bates College, his undergraduate alma mater.

November 14, 2014 7:30 PM Aparato + Jarana Beat @ A Seed on Diamond Gallery

From AfroTaino Productions:
"A Seed on Diamond Gallery is a special intimate space. Besides being surrounded by prolific art, the gallery caters to a freeform spirit of experimentalism that defines the DIY attitude of Philadephian artistry. When we (AfroTaino Productions) have partnered with the gallery to present a series of up-close & personal music concerts, we were thrilled at not only the turnout, but also how everyone else picked up on this frequency (for lack of a better word). There were no expectations, no crisis-laden details that often prevent us from partaking in the same good time that the attendees have. We were not burdened with the kind of concerns that are often associated with major performing arts centers, like ‘how many tickets presold?’ or ‘where are the best seats in the house?’ or ‘are the sponsors’ names listed correctly at will call?’ In fact, the gallery gave us enough breathing room to come out from behind the curtain and enjoy our own event from the perspective of the patron. Even for artists like Gina Chavez, who have to constantly morph into the ‘star’ when onstage, found A Seed on Diamond Gallery the perfect environment for her presentation earlier this year. No actual stage, but her designated spot stood warmly amongst patrons, some who were seated, standing, and even squatting, and who joked and laughed like old friends, yet never losing interest in the artist. It was as cozy as a living room, but as encouraging as a pep rally. This element, this fun factor, allows everyone in the space to simply BE. That said, we are proud to present another open-minded, culturally-conscious live music experiment, featuring a double-headliner bill with some of the freshest fruits of Afro-Mexico: ¡Aparato! (from Southern California) and Jarana Beat (from Brooklyn). ¡Aparato! creates a unique hybrid of Son Jarocho & Post-Punk/Artcore. The resulting sound is pan-African but combines traditional Mexican styles with progressive rock. Vocalist/guitarist Cat brings a feminist cry to the group’s sound, but unlike the wail of her punk foremothers, Cat’s voice is unabashedly feminine. Jarana Beat fuses elements of Mexico’s African and Amerindian traditions with other Latin American rhythms in its present-day take on folkloric music. With contagious charm and good vibes, this band is capable of getting any audience on its feet, so take note and dress comfortably, and leave the expectations at home. You’re gonna have fun."

PhillyBloco

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!

November 12 - 16, 2014 International Puerto Rican Film Festival in New York

From AfroTaino Productions:
"It’s back! The 2014 International Puerto Rican Heritage Film Festival returns to The City that Never Sleeps aka New York City, and is bigger and better than the previous years. As always, the festival will feature films in various film houses & locations across the city; all films are based on the subject of Puerto Rico, its people, including those in the Diaspora, or that have a Puerto Rican in a production role. The festival spotlights the filmmakers, the actors, and the industry with a series of panel discussions and some celeb-filled gatherings & events. The festival is brimming with anticipation. For starters, on opening night, before the first screening (“El Clown”), Grammy-nominated tropical music start Frankie Negron will kick off the festivities with a live performance of “La Borinqueña”. On Saturday the 15th, the IPRHFF Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to the exquisite & ever-so-talented film/theatre/television (and Tony Award-winning!) actor Priscilla Lopez. And this year’s film selections are top notch, like the already-sold-out screening of ‘Pa’lante, Siempre Pa’lante! The Young Lords’, which documents the history of a leading Puerto Rican activistorganization in the U.S. during the 1960’s & 70’s. In the documentary, former members discuss the Young Lords’ vision, community organizing, militant actions, and ongoing legacy in on-camera interviews accompanied with archival footage, photographs and music." AfroTaino Productions is a proud supporter of the IPRHFF.

The multi-Grammy-nominated Bebel Gilberto will release her new album Tudo on Sony Masterworks in August 2014; her first studio recording in five years. Tudo, which means “everything” in English, showcases Bebel’s ethereal vocals and wistful, dreamy song writing in each of the CD’s 12 tracks. Bebel splits her time between Rio de Janeiro and New York City; she’s exquisitely synthesized musical influences from both cities in every track. Bebel’s sultry tonality is constant throughout Tudo as are the warm and playful Brazilian rhythms that include the berimbau, wood bongos and shakers. The gorgeous melodies are shaped by touches of electronica, and Bebel’s intimate vocals hint at a fantastical Rio de Janeiro

November 9, 2014 12:00 Noon Brunch Time "Music at the Market" Free Concert with Eleanor Dubinsky at Reading Terminal Market

From AfroTaino Productions:

"The multilingual chanteuse might be calling Philadelphia her second home these days. When the jet-setting singer/songwriter speaks about her musical travels, she'll reference special moments like jamming on cello with renowned musicians in a random cinderblock-walled garden in Senegal, or a radio station-sponsored concert in Costa Rica. But for Philly, there are too many examples of how she's got love for the city. Outside of NYC, she performs here the most. Her global folk-jazz sound attracts dozens & dozens of music lovers who want to experience her live presentations, to hear that warm, velvety voice in person. They come from beyond city limits to see Eleanor sing in French, Spanish, Czech, and whatever other language she uses to convey her emotional lyrics. A variety of venues have witnessed her fanbase in action, like the Barnes Foundation, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Constitution Center, to name a few. She can now add the Reading Terminal Market to that list. As part of the 'Music at the Market' series, AfroTaino Productions is proud to present our sister-in-music for a special brunch-time thang, at the legendary marketplace. Performing live in the heart of the market in the center dining court, Dubinsky will bring her suave vocal stylings & bare-boned guitar/cello/percussion once again to Philly, and the people will definitely show and prove how much they love her back."

The album and single won several Grammy Awards including Record of the Year in 1965. Written by A. C. Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, Garota de Ipanema, the original title in Portuguese, was first released in Brazil in 1962. It gained immense popularity in 1964 in the US as a single with English lyrics by Norman Gimbel, featuring Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and A. C. Jobim, in the refreshing voice of Astrud Gilberto. The single went to number one on domestic and international charts and “Ipanema” is one of the most popular and recorded songs in history, translated to dozens of languages worldwide. At the end of the concert the audience will be invited to sing along with the band in both English and Portuguese. Anyone knowing other versions of the song in another language will be encouraged to share.

Based in Philadelphia for the last 30 years, Minas has had a consistent impact on the area’s cultural life, not only performing and exposing audiences to the music and culture of Brazil, but making a difference in the area of education. Orlando Haddad taught Brazilian Percussion and Jazz at UArts over 10 years and the program Brazilian Adventure, on the roster of Musicopia, has been presented to over half a million students in public and independent schools. With five CDs to its credit, including 3 Grammy indications, The Girl from Ipanema and Symphony in Bossa will be a very important milestone in Minas’ career!

Everyone attending will receive a free download of the new Minas single, The Gril from Ipanema, recorded with more than 50 musicians, including a big band and full strings.

The Minas Quintet, featuring special invited guest Andrew Neu (saxes and flutes), and with Orlando Haddad (guitar, vocals), Patricia King (piano, vocals), Jim Stager (bass), Tom Cohen (drums), will perform Jobim classics including Corcovado, Desafinado, Dreamer, Só Danço Samba, O Grande Amor, as featured on Getz/Gilberto, plus Minas’ originals influenced by the genre
