After years of heavy international touring, the band rose to greater prominence in 2007 for its role in the musical direction of the Broadway musical Fela!. “I’ve been a fan of Zap Mama for twenty years. We’ve never had the chance to collaborate before, nor with any other group on this scale. This is a thrill and a privilege for us to be working together,” says Martín Perna of Antibalas. “I think the energies and talents of each group are complementary, and really exciting things will happen when we get to perform.” Tonight’s concert features a new presentation, combining the two groups into one show created for this tour. “Every time I do a tour, I want the show to have its own unique story arc which, even if it’s not explicitly expressed, still gives a certain flow or cohesiveness to the presentation,” says Zap Mama founder Marie Daulne. “I’m very excited to explore the intersections between our globally influenced vocal harmonies and the polyrhythmic rhythms of Antibalas. I’m sure it will be an exciting and fun journey.” she is a sonic stylist who alternates between storytelling and creative vo- cal expression.

  • Steve Cropper | Primary Wave Music
    STEVE CROPPER facebook.com/stevecropper twitter.com/officialcropper Image not found or type unknown youtube.com/channel/UCQk6gXkhbUNnhgXHaARGskg playitsteve.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cropper open.spotify.com/artist/1gLCO8HDtmhp1eWmGcPl8S If Yankee Stadium is “the house that Babe Ruth built,” Stax Records is “the house that Booker T, and the MG’s built.” Integral to that potent combination is MG rhythm guitarist extraordinaire Steve Cropper. As a guitarist, A & R man, engineer, producer, songwriting partner of Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd and a dozen others and founding member of both Booker T. and the MG’s and The Mar-Keys, Cropper was literally involved in virtually every record issued by Stax from the fall of 1961 through year end 1970.Such credits assure Cropper of an honored place in the soul music hall of fame. As co-writer of (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay, Knock On Wood and In The Midnight Hour, Cropper is in line for immortality. Born on October 21, 1941 on a farm near Dora, Missouri, Steve Cropper moved with his family to Memphis at the age of nine. In Missouri he had been exposed to a wealth of country music and little else. In his adopted home, his thirsty ears amply drank of the fountain of Gospel, R & B and nascent Rock and Roll that thundered over the airwaves of both black and white Memphis radio. Bit by the music bug, Cropper acquired his first mail order guitar at the age of 14. Personal guitar heroes included Tal Farlow, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Chet Atkins, Lowman Pauling of the Five Royales and Billy Butler of the Bill Doggett band.

An essential recording! TOM WAITS Bad As Me USA Gravelly-voiced poet and musical maverick Tom Waits returns with this strong batch of rocking blues stompers and tender ballads, joined by the likes of Keith Richards, Marc Ribot and David Hidalgo. Beginning with a train journey north to Chicago and ending in a bar on New Year’s eve (singing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ no less) this is a trip worth taking. Highly recommended! KIRAN AHLUWALIA Aam Zameen: Common Ground Canada Indo-Canadian vocalist Kiran Ahluwalia, known for her beautifully updated Ghazal music, this time does some continent hopping as she collaborates with desert blues sensations Tinariwen and Terakaft. From the opening take on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s classic ‘Mustt Mustt’, propelled by handclaps and call and response vocals, we are in for an exciting cross-cultural musical feast. WILCO The Whole Love USA The 8th release by Jeff Tweedy and cohorts impressively reprises the various musical inclinations of this effortlessly creative group. From the off-kilter whirlwind of the opener to the epic beauty of the 12 minute closer, this is an album by a band at the top of their game.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

    Pérez Art Museum Miami Celebrates 35th Anniversary During 2018 Miami Art Week PAMM Welcomed Visitors For Events Including Christian Louboutin’s Supper Party For Ebony G. Patterson, Impact Fund Dinner Honoring Christo, and PAMM Presents (MIAMI, FL – December 8, 2018) – Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) welcomed thousands of visitors from the worlds of art, business, fashion, philanthropy, and more during Miami Art Week. Guests enjoyed PAMM’s dynamic lineup of events, exhibitions, and programming that highlighted the institution’s history as a leading international modern and contemporary art museum, and celebrated the kick off of PAMM’s 35th anniversary. “We are grateful for the opportunity to open our doors and it is always particularly nice to welcome the international community of contemporary art to our museum at this time every year,” said PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans. “The wide range of exhibitions on view this year are representative of our museum in the juxtaposition of the historical and the current; the local and the global, and an anchoring from the vantage point of our unique Miami lens on the world. We are also thankful for the chance to celebrate with our supporters and partners. Particularly moving is our ongoing collaboration with South Florida Cares, an organization focused on mentoring youth.” HIGHLIGHTS FROM MIAMI ART WEEK 2018 PAMM PRESENTS: 35th ANNIVERSARY Left: Antibalas band.
