  • June-Oct 2021
    JUNE-OCT FREE & BENEFIT 2021 PERFORMANCES SUMMERSTAGE.ORG SUMMERSTAGE NYCSUMMERSTAGE SUMMERSTAGENYC SUMMERSTAGE IS BACK More than a year after the first lockdown order, SummerStage is back, ready to once again use our city’s parks as gathering spaces to bring diverse and thriving communities together to find common ground through world-class arts and culture. We are committed to presenting a festival fully representing the city we serve - a roster of diverse artists, focused on gender equity and presenting distinct New York genres. This year, more than ever before, our festival will focus on renewal and resilience, reflective of our city and its continued evolution, featuring artists that are NYC-born, based, or inextricably linked to the city itself. Performers like SummerStage veteran Patti Smith, an icon of the city’s resilient rebelliousness, Brooklyn’s Antibalas, who have married afrobeat with New York City’s Latin soul, and hip hop duo Armand Hammer, two of today’s most important leaders of New York’s rap underground. And, as a perfect symbol of rebirth, Sun Ra’s Arkestra returns to our stage in this year of reopening, 35 years after they performed our very first concert, bringing their ethereal afro-futurist cosmic jazz vibes back to remind us of our ongoing mission and purpose. Our festival art this year also reflects our outlook -- bold, bright, powerful -- and was created by New Yorker Lyne Lucien, an award-winning Haitian artist based in Brooklyn. Lucien is an American Illustration Award Winner and a finalist for the Artbridge - Not a Monolith Residency. She has worked as a photo editor and art director at various publications including New York Magazine, The Daily Beast and Architectural Digest.

  • Afu-Ra & Jeru the Damaja
    AFU-RA & JERU THE DAMAJA I primi colpi della sua carriera arrivano nel 1994 quando attira l’attenzione di Jeru the Damaja, con il quale collabora nel brano Mental Stamina, e poco tempo dopo si affilia ai Gang Starr ed alla relativa Gang Starr Fondation. Partecipa così al secondo album di Jeru, in “Physical Stamina”, ed al successivo tour, in cui mostra il suo talento e strappa un contratto all’etichetta D&D Studios. Si tratta dei suoi primi passi per la carriera solista. Nel 1997 debutta quindi con il suo primo singolo ‘Whirlwind Thru Cities’ e lo stesso anno Afu-Ra pubblica anche ‘Trilogy Of Terror', uno dei suoi brani più celebri a cui partecipa anche Guru dei Gang Starr. Nel 1998 la traccia trova la strada del successo e diventa una perla dell’underground nazionale, Afu-Ra trova grande credibilità nel mondo underground. Nel 2000 è la volta di “Body of the Life Force”, primo LP solista, ispirato alla cultura orientale, data anche la passione che il rapper ha per i film di karate e per l’Asia, il Tai Chi, il Taoismo ed il Buddismo. Successivamente all’uscita dal gruppo Gang Starr e dalla sfera di influenza di Jeru, aumenta le proprie conoscenze e collaborazioni con figure di primo piano del rap newyorkese come GZA, i Cocoa Brovaz, la leggenda Big Daddy Kane (nel brano Stick Up) e gli M.O.P., a cui segue una stretta collaborazione con DJ Premier per Life Force Radio del 2002. Nel biennio successivo Afu-Ra continua le collaborazioni, tra cui si contano anche quelle con artisti italiani come Piotta ed Amir & Mr.

Note that there is no lecture on this day, but the writing assignment is still due. Final paper is due 6/7 at noon. ◦ Final paper (annotated bib) 2. Research and writing strategies for remaining papers 3. Listening ID practice 4. Review last week's lecture 5. New material: mainstreaning and undergrounding in the second golden age. ◦ Advertising, The Source ◦ West Coast: Dre, Snoop, Tupac, Pharcyde, Freestyle Fellowship, Boss ◦ East Coast: Biggie, Nas, Lil Kim, Wu Tang, Mobb Deep Research strategies Developing a research question (final paper): • "Research" is just developing the courage to listen to the voices inside you that want to know more. You may have to do some work to quiet those other voices. • Think back to lectures, remember those moments where something really interest you. This has to be something that you want to know more about, and that is related to hip hop music (somehow). • Listen to music you like, keep an open mind, and see what questions it provokes. For finding "sources" (final paper): • roger.ucsd.edu -- the library catalog. • jstor.org -- the University pays to subscribe to services like this so that you can get access to academic research journalism • best of all: Peter Mueller. Set up a meeting with him and just state your question. "I want to know more about ... " will always yield useful results. When you're writing about the music (both papers), think back to our analytical categories: • Timbre, mode, pocket, kick/snare/ride, the feel/quality of a rapper's flow, the intricacy of the rhyme schemes, where and when the sampled content comes from, etc.
