  • Episode 101 Robby Ameen Musician/Drummer Grade Level 9-12
    Teacher/Viewing Guide Arab American Stories – Episode 101 Robby Ameen Musician/Drummer Grade Level 9-12 Episode Overview: Robby Ameen was born in New Haven, Connecticut and lives in New York City. His grandparents on both sides came to the United States from Lebanon. As a young boy he discovered a passion for the drums, and today he is a world renowned Afro-Cuban Jazz drummer. This episode examines what interests define a personal culture and explores how influences such as music, language and distinctive practices can develop into a unique American cultural experience for individuals of all backgrounds. Students should be challenged to think about their own notions of ethnic identity and the boundaries that we often draw around particular groups. Students should also think about their own unique cultural experience and what has influenced them in their community and life, and what other cultures they enjoy and/or identify with. Previewing Questions: 1. What is American culture? 2. What makes someone Latino, Arab American, African American or part of another group? 3. How is your community or culture unique? Vocabulary: 1. Afro-Cuban Jazz: The earliest form of Latin jazz. It mixes Afro-Cuban clave-based rhythms with jazz harmonies and techniques of improvisation. 2. Culture: The customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group 3. Ancestry: One’s family or ethnic descent 4. Druze: Religion and group of people living primarily in Lebanon, Syria, Israel, and Jordan--and often in the mountainous regions of those countries. Lesson Overview/Review: After viewing the segment on Robby Ameen, students should be prepared to discuss the concept of ethnic and cultural identity.

    THE DIZZY GILLESPIE™ AFRO CUBAN EXPERIENCE Featuring MACHITO JR. In 1947, Dizzy Gillespie was introduced to Chano Pozo by Mario Bauza. Both became life-long friends and Dizzy and Chano Pozo developed Afro-Cuban jazz, which became extremely successful, atrtracting people to dance to its unique rhythms. Gillespie's most famous contributions to Afro-Cuban music are the compositions “Manteca” and "Tin Tin Deo". Machito’s Afro Cubans (formed in 1940), the creators of Cu-Bop, were a major influence on musicians like Dizzy Gillespie. Dizzy loved it so much, that in 1975, he invited Machito’s son, Mario Grillo (known as Machito Jr.,) to join his band for the recording of ‘Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods’. So it only makes sense to have him join the Dizzy Gillespie™ Afro Cuban Experience under the direction of John Lee, Dizzy’s long-time bassist, and the director of the Dizzy Gillespie™ Big Band. LINE UP: John Lee – Bass Freddie Hendrix - Trumpet & Flugelhorn Sharel Cassity - Alto Sax, Soprano Sax & Flutes Yotam - Guitars Robby Ameen – Drums Special Guest: Machito Jr. – Percussion Machito Jr. Five-year-old Mario Grillo learned to play the timbales during the summer of 1961, with lessons from Uba Nieto, then returned to New York with his father's band and played his first gig, taking a single timbales solo at the Palladium Ballroom while standing on a chair next to Tito Puente. After his father’s death, Mario carried forward the legacy by leading The Machito Orchestra. He also brought to life The Big 3 Palladium Orchestra, an homage to the Mambo Kings – Machito, Tito Puente and Tito Rodríguez – the three legendary bandleaders who transformed the US music scene, featuring himself and Tito Rodríguez Jr.
