2019SSV2 Booklet.Pdf WELCOME TO ® City Parks Foundation is proud to present the 2019 season of SummerStage, New York’s largest free outdoor performing arts festival. SummerStage brings renowned artists and rising stars from around the world to local neighborhood parks, presenting distinctly New York genres -- salsa, jazz, and hip hop -- alongside indie, reggae, Afrobeat, soul, modern dance, and much more. We turn local parks into dynamic and accessible performance spaces. As a festival that strives to represent the rich cultural melange that makes our city great, we are excited to recognize a number of important milestones this year, including the 100th birthday of the Harlem Renaissance and of iconic choreographer Merce Cunningham; the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and of the Harlem Cultural Festival known as Black Woodstock; the 40th anniversary of the world’s largest reggae label, Queens-based VP Records; and the 20th anniversary of the Latin GRAMMY Awards®. We hope you will join us for these commemorative performances. Moreover, as a women-run festival that strives for inclusive programming, we are helping to transform the future of the music industry by participating in the PRS Foundation’s international Keychange pledge and presenting a lineup that features a 50:50 gender balance. More information can be found at www.keychange.eu. Last, but certainly not least, we are thrilled to open our completely refurbished flagship venue in Central Park, thanks to the enormous generosity of the City of New York and many private individuals and foundations, all of whom recognize that New Yorkers deserve the very best. There truly is no better place to experience music than amongst the trees in this iconic spot. We look forward to celebrating this summer of milestones with you! 2 3 WELCOME TO L O CATIONS BETSY HEAD PARK, BROOKLYN HERBERT VON KING PARK, BROOKLYN LIVONIA AVE. & STRAUSS ST.

Introduction Seedesign Studio and our collective team are happy to present the concept design of the new Kings Square Urban Play Space. Through the RFQ process, along with subsequent meetings with the City of Fremantle and extensive information obtained through the community consultation process, we have developed an Utopian play space based on the character and history that makes up Fremantle. Titled ‘Freotopia’, the urban play space attempts to combine robust industrial and architectural elements of a strong Fremantle identity to become a tactile wonderland; highly identifiable, highly functional, completely unique. We’ve approached the design of ‘Freotopia’ as an all inclusive brainstorm of elements the community requested, responses required from an urban play space, as well as adding our own ideas and thoughts into an initial collage (provided by our art consultants). We’ve then taken the style of this collage and extracted it into 3D forms to re-imagine Fremantle into a tangible and magical world that will allow families to explore the rich history of Freo in a fun and engaging way.

  • 'Corashe' I La Intensitat De Nathy Peluso Ballar I Fer Gaudir El Seu Públic És L'objectiu De L'artista Argentina Que Va Causar Furor a Pedralbes
    Enderrock | Helena Morén Alegret | Actualitzat el 01/07/2021 a les 16:30 El 'corashe' i la intensitat de Nathy Peluso Ballar i fer gaudir el seu públic és l'objectiu de l'artista argentina que va causar furor a Pedralbes Nathy Peluso | Marina Tomàs Ella s'ha convertit en tot un símbol de la generació que ara té la vintena o la trentena d'anys, tant homes com dones. L'electricitat i energia és el protagonista del recent disc Calambre (Sony Music, 2020), gravat entre Barcelona, Buenos Aires i Los Ángeles, i que, en la seva arrencada, ja va assolir 9 milions d'streams. Va ser al Festival de Pedralbes de Barcelona que es va mostrar aquesta preeminència de públic jove i entregat al 100% a venerar l'artista argentina afincada a Barcelona (i aviat també en altres indrets com Miami), en la línia d'artistes estrella com Bad Gyal o Rosalia. El talent que es valora en Nathy Peluso no és tant tenir una veu immensa i profunda com és la de Sílvia Pérez Cruz, sinó com fusiona i recupera altres sons que generacionalment potser no contactarien amb audiències joves, com aquelles versions de soul i de blues amb què es va fer popular a les xarxes. Mostra d'això, la cançó del recent treball "Puro veneno", on passa la salsa pel seu filtre ple de passió i intensitat. Si cançons com "La sandungera" ja es van escoltar en el directe del 2019 quan va actuar al Primavera Sound, dimecres a Pedralbes va repassar les dotze cançons del disc Calambre oferint una versió d'ella mateixa molt més segura i empoderada.

  • 1 "Disco Madness: Walter Gibbons and the Legacy of Turntablism and Remixology" Tim Lawrence Journal of Popular Music S
    "Disco Madness: Walter Gibbons and the Legacy of Turntablism and Remixology" Tim Lawrence Journal of Popular Music Studies, 20, 3, 2008, 276-329 This story begins with a skinny white DJ mixing between the breaks of obscure Motown records with the ambidextrous intensity of an octopus on speed. It closes with the same man, debilitated and virtually blind, fumbling for gospel records as he spins up eternal hope in a fading dusk. In between Walter Gibbons worked as a cutting-edge discotheque DJ and remixer who, thanks to his pioneering reel-to-reel edits and contribution to the development of the twelve-inch single, revealed the immanent synergy that ran between the dance floor, the DJ booth and the recording studio. Gibbons started to mix between the breaks of disco and funk records around the same time DJ Kool Herc began to test the technique in the Bronx, and the disco spinner was as technically precise as Grandmaster Flash, even if the spinners directed their deft handiwork to differing ends. It would make sense, then, for Gibbons to be considered alongside these and other towering figures in the pantheon of turntablism, but he died in virtual anonymity in 1994, and his groundbreaking contribution to the intersecting arts of DJing and remixology has yet to register beyond disco aficionados.1 There is nothing mysterious about Gibbons's low profile. First, he operated in a culture that has been ridiculed and reviled since the "disco sucks" backlash peaked with the symbolic detonation of 40,000 disco records in the summer of 1979.
