Jorge Glem and Sam Reider: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 4 Streams • 3 years ago

Felix Contreras | March 6, 2023
It’s a very special thing when two musical cultures come together to create something that didn’t exist before. That’s exactly what we got to witness in this performance from Venezuelan cuatro master Jorge Glem and extraordinary accordionist Sam Reider, as they set up behind the Desk for a set of highly creative, original music from their project Brooklyn Cumaná.

Glem’s dexterity on the small, traditional guitar-like instrument is evident from the very first notes of “Skeleton Rag,” as he plucks out a percussive, staccato pattern that is more Brazilian than the sweeping strums of Venezuelan folk music, as Reider leans into a melody that could easily be folkloric if it wasn’t something he dreamed up. Even as they end the tune at a breakneck speed, it’s only the beginning of the fireworks. “Sábana Blanca y Fuga con Estribillo” which follows, is based on a traditional Venezuelan folk tune and eventually erupts into a rustic exhibition of Glem’s vocals.

After a brief explanation in Spanish about the traditional song forms they work from, the duo eases into “Malagueña Cumanesa,” a lament based on a memory from Glem’s childhood.
“Coroticos” is a fiery exercise in an odd time meter that is actually part of Venezuelan tradition and it’s a showcase for how these two virtuoso musicians test the limits of their instruments while they expand our expectations of the accordion and cuatro. The magic of this music is watching both artists completely enjoy each other’s playing, with knowing glances and spontaneous vocal encouragement.

Bia Ferreira: Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST 2023 Hotney 4 Streams • 3 years ago

For the third year, Tiny Desk concerts team up with globalFEST for a thrilling online music festival — Tiny Desk meets globalFEST.

Bob Boilen | January 29, 2023
Hosted by Angélique Kidjo, the series echoes globalFEST’s live flagship event in spirit but is centered in the framework of the Tiny Desk concert series. This collaboration presents exclusive video performances from nine artists filmed in their respective homelands, on the road and in exile all over the world. There will be three nights of concerts, each featuring three bands, on consecutive nights beginning Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. ET. The globalFEST team wrote the following biographical information about each performer.

Bia Ferreira, Brazil
Bia Ferreira is a Brazilian singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and activist. Her music, which she defines as "MMP — Música de Mulher Preta," discusses topics such as feminism, anti-racism and ****phobia. She makes music that harnesses a combination of funky beats, reggae and soulful ballad grooves while lyrically pushing her listeners toward the discomfort that generates "movemente,” or action. Her lyrics have been described as "escrevivência,” a term Conceição Evaristo uses to “tell our stories from our perspectives.” It represents the subjectivity of a Black woman in Brazilian society.

SET LIST
"Antes De Ir"
"De Dentro do Ap"
"Levante a Bandeira do Amor"
"Aquela Moça"
"A Conta Vai Chegar/Cota Não É Esmola"

MUSICIANS
Bia Ferreira: vocals, guitar

Cui Jian: Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST 2023 Hotney 4 Streams • 3 years ago

The globalFEST team wrote the following biographical information about each performer.

Cui Jian, China
The most influential rock musician in China is Beijing-born, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and vocalist Cui Jian. The former leader of Chinese rock band Ado, Jian's solo music is continually embraced by new generations: his albums having sold more than 10 million copies in Asia. The Wall Street Journal said, "Cui Jian continues to be an inspiration for China's disenchanted youth." However, Jian's prime inspiration comes not from politics, but from personal issues. He said, "I talk about serious things in my heart and people's lives, including, of course, love. But, mostly it's about Chinese culture, the modern culture. They're not political songs. It's just the truth, the modern truth. I talk about our life in China."

"Go On"
"Wild in the Snow"

BLOND:ISH x DAYBREAKER: Antarctica Expedition DJ Mix Hotney 4 Streams • 3 years ago

Blond:ish playing an exclusive DJ set from Paradise Bay, Antartica.

We wanted to bring this feeling back to you, to inspire and accelerate protecting this beautiful and pristine earth that gives us so much!

ANTARCTICA I LOVE YOU: Global dance movement, DAYBREAKER, launches new art-forward climate series WOW IT’S NOW and features BLOND:ISH (Founder, Bye Bye Plastic) on a historic sunset dance and art forward carbon-negative experience in Antarctica to inspire deeper awe and connection to Earth and the growing climate crisis.

The boat was in motion for the duration of the set and hundreds of meters from land at all times to minimize noise disturbance to wildlife.

Tourists will continue going to Antarctica as long as permitted (70,000+ people/year), but they can change how they go. Hopefully we can inspire more charters/ships to travel like this and for future travelers to reconsider going to Antarctica and other fragile destinations unless they are prepared to do the work. See this report for the initial impact report and know it’s just the beginning. https://tinyurl.com/wowitsnow

We travelled on the most environmentally-friendly ship available for Antarctica charters, The Atlas World Navigator expedition ship.

👉🏻 The first of its size to utilize hydro jet propulsion, allowing it to be anchorless and minimizing underwater noise and stress on marine wildlife.
👉🏻 Repurposes, recycles and reclaims all waste, and a scrubber system in the funnel minimizes emission particulates
👉🏻 Bunkers the lowest sulfur marine fuel, and a hybrid power generation and management engine delivers maximum fuel efficiency by consuming as low as one-fifth the fuel compared to conventional engines
👉🏻 Carbon Offset 2X total CO2 emissions for all 168 guests
👉🏻 Emitted 827.61 tonnes and Carbon Offset 1,655 tonnes of CO2
👉🏻 450 tonnes from the chartered ship, Atlas World Navigator
👉🏻 377.61 tonnes from the chartered plane (round trip)
👉🏻 Emissions calculated and offset through cooleffect.org funding projects supporting methane destruction and reforestation
👉🏻 Founders/CEOs onboard of 15 companies pledged to be carbon neutral or negative, to be tracked via a 3rd party auditor, as a result of this expedition
👉🏻 Workshops onboard led to the Wow It’s Now Treaty which attendees are signing in commitment to personal & professional climate pledges, a requirement for future W.I.N. invites.
👉🏻 Raised $400K+ for Food Fix through an onboard auction in service of evolving the regenerative agricultural practices via the Farm Bill
👉🏻 Hosted 10 climate-focused keynotes and workshops from top environmentalists, including both the Founder and Executive Chairman of Project Drawdown, Dr. Mark Hyman, BLOND:ISH, and marine biologist and climate scientists on the ship Expedition Guide Team.
