🌟 Richard Bona's Unstoppable Performance at Fre

🌟 Richard Bona's Unstoppable Performance at Freespace Jazz Fest in Hong Kong 🌟

The 5th Freespace Jazz Fest presented by West Kowloon Cultural District Authority featured an all-star lineup of acclaimed local and international jazz musicians over a week, from October 3 to 8. Despite facing the challenges brought by a typhoon, the festival delivered an exceptional experience, leaving the audience with cherished memories of extraordinary musical moments.

One standout performance that truly embodied the indomitable spirit of the festival was Richard Bona's electrifying show at Laubak Livehouse. Despite the adverse weather conditions, the performance went on with unstoppable energy, creating an atmosphere that was simply exhilarating.

The audience's enthusiasm was off the charts, as everyone came together to celebrate the power of music. It was an unforgettable night, and the collective energy generated by both the performers and the audience was truly remarkable.

Thank you to everyone who braved the storm to be there. We hope to welcome you back to West Kowloon very soon!

Big and bold and beautiful! // The Canadian Darcy

Big and bold and beautiful! // The Canadian Darcy James Argue is someone who has a great fable for the orchestral. His “Secret Society” is known as a pioneering jazz orchestra in the current scene. Argue knows the past of jazz and combines it with contemporary influences. He loves mixing genres. Time to unleash it on the next generation of MA Bigband students!

For Immediate Release :: Powered by Ibermúsicas & Mid Atlantic Arts :: Caña Dulce y Caña Brava Tour The US >> The “son jarocho” will be traveling the world again, now performed by the mastery and feeling of Caña Dulce y Caña Brava, a group made up mostly of women. With more than 15 years of experience and performances in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, the Dulces y Bravas are now preparing the first - of a series of tours - happening from October 9 to 28 in the United States. On this occasion, the tour will take place in the Mid-Atlantic region, in the northwest of the country, with performances, workshops and fandangos in the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. There will be a total of 10 concerts, 12 educational outreach in public schools and 3 workshops, to complete the mission of disseminating the teaching and knowledge of Mexican music. // Son Jarocho is a cultural expression that borned in the state of Veracruz after the encounter of European and African migrants with native populations. The genre includes the mix of music, dance and poetry and whose maximum expression occurs in fandangos, the parties where the community gathers to celebrate life. In the past, bands like Mono Blanco and Son de Madera have raised the name of Mexico around the world, but now it is the turn of Caña Dulce y Caña Brava who raise their song and distinguish themselves from the rest by renewing the tradition from the female perspective. // These tours have been possible thanks to the support of Ibermúsicas and Mid Atlantic Arts, organizations dedicated to promoting arts and culture, who last year launched a new support that seeks to facilitate the presence of Ibero-American artists in the United States. // The alliance between Ibermúsicas and Mid Atlantic Arts was originally promoted by Music Works International, through the consultancy work they are promoting with the Cultural Connections Latin America network, an initiative promoting collaboration and reciprocity between music professionals on the American continent.

#repost @rhiannongiddens Writing “Another Wast

#repost @rhiannongiddens

Writing “Another Wasted Life” was my response to the tragic suicide of Kalief Browder – another poor soul caught up in the flawed U.S. incarceration system for a crime he didn’t commit.

I collaborated with the @innocencepa, Director Daniel Madoff, and 22 wrongfully incarcerated men who have been exonerated by their work to create this video. Collectively, these men served over 500 years in prison. In Pennsylvania, their support is especially important as it is one of a few states that does not offer automatic restitution to those who are exonerated, which challenges re-entry into society.

These ongoing societal struggles are so far beyond any one of us, and have been long at play; it is up to us to keep pushing this conversation ahead and demanding change.
