It's time for the final installment of this year's in-person interviews I conducted at the legendary Newport Folk Festival which took place in Newport, Rhode Island, July 28-30. First up, my friends Jeff Gorman and Jake Cochran of Illiterate Light stopped by to chat with me about the Bike Stage that they hosted, curated and operated. Jeff and Jake -- a hard-core rocking two-piece by day -- have created a sustainable and entirely off-the-grid solution to set a shining example of how we can mitigate the environmental impact of the live music ecosystem. This is the embodiment of Think Globally, Act Locally!!Next up, I spoke to Jake Ewald of Slaughter Beach, Dog, a Newport Folk first-timer whose alt-folk brand of artistry was a perfect fit for the Harbor Stage audience. I talk to Jake about his powerful songwriting and how very unexpected it was for him to even be at Newport Folk. We share tons of laughs as Jake's comedic timing is spot-on. Slaughter Beach, Dog's new album Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling will be out September 22.I also had the pleasure of sitting down with Erich Huffaker and Mariam Diakite of Orchestra Gold, a band with roots both in Oakland, CA as well as Mali, West Africa.  I talk with Erich and Mariam about the African Psychedelic Rock movement and how African Dance is integrated into the ethos of this band, whose mission is to "spread healing and community through the universal gift of music." Amen. And to close down the 2023 Folk Fest series, I had a gem of a convo with Newport natives Evan St. Martin and Dave Sarazen of Laden Valley.  The first act to hit the stage this year, it was a surreal experience for sure, and they both related to me just how incredibly special it was for them, after years of attending the festival as fans, to actually be up there performing one of their rare live shows. This was an example of the pure joy of live performance for both fans and the artists themselves.It has truly been an honor to bring all these amazing artists to the Roadcase audience. Newport is a truly special experience for artists and fans alike, and I'm glad I can bring some of that excitement and musical joy to all of you.  See you all at Newport 2024, and in the meantime, Rock On!!

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?Guest will learn the contributions of West African Dance and how it informs the discussion or racial equity.EPISODE SUMMARY:Historically, images of Africa have ranged from offensive narratives like those shown on Tarzan to those that show malnourished children. While some of those images have improved and we see a plethora of videos of individuals dancing to African music, our perception of this beautiful continent and culture are limited. We lack understanding of the importance of the drums and dance to cultivating a deep sense of self and community. Broadening our perspective of West African dance advances the work of dismantling racism It exposes the learner to African epistemologies (worldview), cosmology, and culture. These ways of seeing the world serve as counter-narratives to the dominant narrative that Africa has made little to no valuable contributions to the world. Join Rev. Dr. TLC and Truth Hunter, academic, teacher, and student of West African dance as they discuss the amazing ways that dance heals our spirits, rewrites our historical narratives, and takes us to places that we've never gone before.linkedin.com/in/truth-hunter-639261131KEY WORDS: #revdrtlc#healingseparationfromtheinsideout#dismantleracismshow#dismantleracismwithdrtlc#sacredintelligence#westafricandanceTune in for this important conversation at TalkRadio.nyc.

Donald Macleod explores the life and music of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, from his first steps up the musical ladder, to his premature death at the age of 37 and the legacy left behind. At the turn of the 20th century, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor could have been described as the most famous Black person in Britain. His cantata trilogy, the Song of Hiawatha, was an overnight success, and by the age of 25 he had packed out the Royal Albert Hall with a thousand performers, let alone the audience. His fame took him all around Britain and America as choral societies from Worcester to Washington DC all wanted to sing his music, and Coleridge-Taylor became a role-model, especially for African-Americans. But tragically, just over a decade later, he would be dead. He remained a household name into the 1930s, only for his flame to flicker out much sooner than he deserved. All this week, Donald re-visits his fascinating story, with recordings predominantly released in the last 5 years, showing how excited today's performers are to rediscover his delightful music. Music Featured: Going Up Clarinet Quintet in F sharp minor, Op 10 (iv. Finale) Magnificat in F major Piano Quintet, Op 1 (i. Allegro con moto; ii- Larghetto) Symphony, Op 8 (iii. Scherzo) Nonet (ii. Andante con moto) African Romances, Op 17 (Ballad) Hiawatha Overture Hiawatha's Wedding Feast (excerpt) Othello Suite Nonet (3rd and 4th movements) Romance of the Prairie Lilies (arr. P.E. Fletcher for orchestra) The Bamboula for piano African Suite (iv. African Dance, orch. Chris Cameron) Big Lady Moon Summer is gone Violin Concerto, Op 80 (ii. Andante semplice; iii. Allegro molto) Hiawatha's Departure (excerpt) Deep River (arr. Kanneh-Mason Trio) Presented by Donald Macleod Produced by Amelia Parker For full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001dfvp And you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we've featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week's episode is home grown in a sense as I had the chance to chat with long-time friend and collaborator, Farai Malianga.

He has performed with creative Masters such as Chuck Davis in BAMs ‘Dance Africa', Reginald Yates and Heritage O.P. for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre's their 40th Anniversary season; with musicians such as Roy Ayers, Wunmi Olaiya,, Manchild Black, and Akua Allrich to name a few. He has also performed on and off broadway in the musical 'Fela!' and “Darker Faces of the Earth” directed by Trezana Beverley, respectively. As a videographer, most recent projects include editing the archival documentary for “Kumbuka” the longest active New Orleans-based West African Dance troupe.

Thanks to our friends at FilmsGoneWild.com, we're at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival with Spencer Wilkinson, the director of the documentary Alice Street. The film centers around a mural created by the Community Rejuvenation Project to be located on an iconic corner of Alice street in Oakland, Ca.  But the film encompasses so much more! We get into gentrification, the cultural melting pot of Oakland, immigration, and creating productive solutions to development and growth in major cities. Big shout out to the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts and the Hotel Oakland which are historic landmarks that play major roles in the documentary. And any film that includes Bay Area journalist (and 2 time Bitch Talk guest) Eric Arnold is already a win in our book.You can follow director Spencer Wilkinson on Instagram & FacebookTo purchase a DVD or Digital Copy of Alice Street, click here. --Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for wearing a mask. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage!Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen every other Thursday 9:30 - 10 am on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO Productions 

This conversation with Shockwave is deep and very important to listen about the expectations that we have as humans in which we have the power to improve in society. In this episode you will learn about:Where your street dance movements come from.The importance of you knowing where styles originated.How you can improve society expectations by being yourself and not following the leader.How some trends become toxic instead of creating unity.How artists can create more money by working together to create a better financial industry. Favorite Quote: “The great thinker talks about ideas, the average thinker talks about events, the small thinker talks about people .” Shockwave has experience learning from freestyle popping legends and he is able to teach where those movements come from. About Shockwave:Shockwave is a  Los Angeles born dancer who expresses through physical and spiritual energy with respect to tradition. He strives to instill belief in one’s self and unlock creativity while preserving the culture of art forms.Through foundation, perspective and vision, he looks to inspire others to feel what can’t be expressed through words and be more than what society dictates, for the new generation, and to those who dance for a lifetime. Follow Shockwave:Instagram Facebook Shockwave - Soul Levels (by Beatslaya) Text: ANNIVERSARY to (323) 524-9857 to view our WATCH PARTY for our 20th Anniversary Maxt Out Dance Competition online! Follow us:Learn more: Dance Your LifeLearn more: Maxt Out Dance CompetitionInstagram @maxtoutdanceMaxt Out on FacebookTikTok @maxtoutdanceSign-up for our FREE Maxt Out at Home Dance Classes!Follow Joanna:Learn more The Get Up GirlJoanna Vargas on InstagramJoanna Vargas on FacebookTikTok @joannavargasofficialOperation Underground Railroad – OURRescue.org

It was in Oakland that she fell in love with African dance.Selimah served with the (President Bill Clinton) White House Press Corps in 1994, and as the English editor for both an Italian-American and a Japanese-American newspaper.

On the importance of creating a culture of emotionally aware and expressed people, and the significance of allowing our bodies to express in a primal and liberated way, as an example of nature and its many states, storms, colors and changes. We speak with somatic healer, dancer, and embodiment facilitator, BERNADETTE PLEASANT, the founder of FEMME!, a modality for all genders. Tune in for this vibrant conversation about  how to harness the primal power and vulnerability of our emotions through the body, in a way that makes us freer, more alive, and more connected.    EPISODE'S WISDOM BITES:  Our bodies are created in the likeness of nature. Sunsets don't hold back. Rainstorms and the ocean get to be so many things; there is no one right way for them to be. And so we also get to be that expressive: We get to be water, we get to be gentle as a fine mist, we get to be still and inviting, we get to be ferocious, we get to be frozen, or warm. We get to be everything that is given to us by example of nature. And the invitation is that nature in no iteration   stays the same or operates in a thin or narrow margin. There is change, there is growth, there is color, there is beauty, there is barren, there is every-thing in nature! And our bodies too, our way of being, of moving, of emoting, are all of that– all the ways in which we can live our bodies as an example of nature.” “When my body is freeas it wishes, as opposed to traditional forms of dance, and I am feeling, say, rage,I am  not focusing on a pointed toe and an angle, but I get to bring whatever needs to move through me, in such a complete way that I feel wider after I move: I have given that which I am feeling the movement and the sound that it needs to express through my body. So I  often tell people to bring me their “too-much”. If they have ever been told that they were too much, I say to them, “Bring it to me! I want your too-muchness.” Those are the kind of people I want to run tribe with, to create a community with. If we get to be fully expressed through our bodies, imagine the lives we get to live.” More about Bernadette's work at https://livefemme.com Bernadette Pleasant is the Creator of Femme! a mind and body wellness modality, rooted in dance, sensuality, emotional and creative expression, inclusivity and empowerment for all. A  gifted somatic healer, dancer, and entrepreneur, Bernadette creates immersive experiences that empower and celebrate people of all genders, ages, sizes, and fitness levels. She travels the world to offer transformative embodiment and regularly leads discussions on emotional healing, inclusive movement, and embodied empowerment.  She is also a woman of color who comes from a long line of natural healers, and an experienced practitioner and teacher  of Pole Dancing, Nia, and African Dance. Her classrooms welcome participants without judgment and support them on their paths to finding comfort in their own skin.
