Derrell Sekou Walker teaches West African dance to elementary and middle schoolers at two Portland public schools. He loves his job, but as the founder and artistic director of Sebé Kan Youth African Dance Company, he is bringing his love of this art form — along with the feelings of joy and freedom it inspires — to the larger community. He first formed Sebé Kan more than 20 years ago, but since 2018, he’s been focused on teaching the dance traditions from Mali, Guinea, Ivory Coast and other West African nations to children and youth. On May 16, the company will present a one night only, multigenerational dance performance and concert called “Mobaya: A Coming of Age” at Portland’s Newmark Theatre.   Walker joins us, along with his wife Karida Walker, who is a dancer in the troupe; and high school senior Nylah Jae Holt, who has been dancing with Sebé Kan since she was 8 years old.

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

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.
