Good people,Today I'm joined by Ardenia Brown, also known as Chef Butta. Ardenia is part of my family, one of my cousins; she is the personal chef for Ahmir Thompson, Questlove, specializing in Farm-To-Fork Cuisine and Holistic Juicing using local organic wild ingredients. Chef Butta's truth is about self-acceptance. Throughout her childhood, she felt ignored, not heard, and forced to be what she was supposed to be. She built a successful career in the music industry in Los Angeles, and one day, Ardenia had to abandon everything and come back to take care of her sick mother. Far from home, Ardenia explored and found out who she was, she found her true self, and that is how she showed up many years later in her hometown to her mother and her family. We had a fantastic conversation about health, food, and the food industry, the "heartset" used by Ardenia to switch from the entertainment industry into a celebrity chef, how she managed to differentiate herself and cut through the noise in the food industry, and the vital relevance of family and connections. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Ardenia shares her truth (5:26)About the pressure families put on us rewarding what and how we are supposed to be (11:39)How it was for Ardenia to abandon her lifestyle in LA and come back home to take care of her mother (15:06)What turns food into good food (19:18)About how Ardenia differentiated herself from other chefs (22:45)First Impressions:LA (33:49)Western Medicine (33:49)Eastern Medicine (34:01)Marketing (34:13)Garlic (34:24)Lupus (34:30)Juicing (34:39)Soul Food (34:46)Destiny (34:53)Chef Butta (35:01)Resources:Chef Butta websiteConnect with Chef Butta:Instagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Hendrix wanted to make it. Aretha was a no-show. The Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969 took place 100 miles away from Woodstock, yet so few were aware of it's existence, much less it significance. Thanks to renewed interest in the raw footage of this event, we all get to enjoy this forgotten piece of American History. This week, we're talking about the greatest documentary of 2021, SUMMER OF SOUL, directed by Ahmir "?usetlove" Thomspon. Theme Music "A Movie I'd Like to See" by Al Harley.

Summer of Soul is available to watch on Disney+.Transcript available here. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Harlem Cultural Festival was a music festival taking place in the same summer of 1969 as Woodstock, and its amazing line-up, and insight into how it happened, is finally presented, 52 years later. Movies about music festivals have a built-in appeal: if you like the kind of music featured, the festival film gives you a variety of different artists in that genre. The gold standard is still Monterey Pop, about the 1967 festival of that name. And of course, there's Woodstock, chronicling the famous gathering in 1969 that was seen as a kind of summing up of the rock and pop music then. Now, just last year, a film was released about a major music festival that took place the same summer when Woodstock was happening. It was the Harlem Cultural Festival, a free event that occurred at Mount Morris Park on six successive weekends from June to August of '69. This did not get very much attention. I, for one, had never heard of it. The film is called Summer of Soul, and my jaw dropped when I saw the list of performers. But first you need to know that Summer of Soul is also a record of a crucial time in the history of the Black community in America, and the production was put together by Ahmir Thompson, more popularly known as Questlove, a major author and producer, and one of the frontmen for the band The Roots, which is The Tonight Show band. Each weekend in the Harlem Cultural Festival highlighted a different type of Black American music. In the course of the film, we watch performances by B.B. King, Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight and the Pips, The Chambers Brothers, and David Ruffin, the lead singer for The Temptations who had just left that group to go solo. We see The Fifth Dimension performing there as well, and two of the members of that group talk about how excited they were to play in Harlem, because their sound was sometimes dismissed as “too white,” but the film showcases their stunning vocal mastery. The jazz portions include Herbie Mann, Abbey Lincoln, and Nina Simone. And a very interesting long middle section shows the strong influence of gospel on the Black music scene, with performances by The Staple Singers, The Edwin Hawkins singers with “Oh Happy Day,” and the Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson. Interspersed with all the great music are clips and interviews profiling the social and political situation in Black America at that time. Dr. King had been murdered only the previous year, and there was a new militancy in the air. Civil rights and social justice were part of the festival, and we are shown a very young Jesse Jackson speaking to the audience about the need to continue the struggle for peace and justice. Interviews with artists and people involved in putting the festival on emphasize the strong sense of togetherness experienced at these events. In such an atmosphere of joy and hope, it is somewhat difficult for us now, over five decades later, not to feel some frustration at how much racism has continued as a political force in our country. But the people being interviewed caution us against despair. The love and solidarity, expressed through music and activism, is still alive today, as we see, for instance, in the Black Lives Matter movement. So why did it take so long for this film to be released? One of the sponsors of the festival, Maxwell House Coffee, filmed all the performances. But after being minimally aired on a couple of TV specials, the footage ended up sitting in a basement for fifty years until it was discovered by an archivist in 2004 who alerted others to take on the task of restoration. Now, thanks to them and to Questlove, this brilliant event has come to life again in Summer of Soul. You owe it to yourself t
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson on how sifting through 40 hours of archival footage of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival — where legends like Nina Simone and Stevie Wonder performed in the same summer as Woodstock — led to his debut documentary, ‘"Summer of Soul.” Plus, how the parallel protests of 2020 and 1969, as well as a focus on Black joy, helped to shape the film, and why he still considers "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon his creative epicenter.

It's October, and everyone appears to be doing horror movies, so I've gone for something different. I wanted to create content to do with Black History Month....but I'm a white middle aged guy from Scotland, so while I may not be the best person to talk about Black History, I'm still going to talk about it because it's a vital conversation.I wondered how to get the ball rolling, and lets be honest, who doesn't like music?. Steve Wonder, Nina Simone, Gladys Knight & the Pips? All great performers, great musicians, and all at the 1969 Harlem Culture Festival. A festival that was filmed, then forgotten about, until this year.I talk a little bit about the politics, the fashion, the music, and how the festival was organised. I'll admit I don't think I did a great job, I was a bit nervous, but this is a great documentary for any music lover, and deserves to be seen, so put away the chainsaws and horror masks, and enjoy some music for your soul!!If you enjoyed the show please leave a review in Podchaser - it helps us grown and makes us look good.

Good people,Today's episode is part two of my conversation with the musician, producer, and author Ahmir Khalib Thompson, Questlove. In this second part of the interview, we dive deep into the four tropes in which Black artists are automatically put when they emerge in the show business. We also talked about self-confidence and Ahmir's old mentality of not believing his music or any artistic piece produced by him was good enough. Ahmir also shared an amusing story about the origin of his artistic name, and he brilliantly answered the yes or BS quest. Before the end, he shared some priceless insights about music and the show business. In This Episode, You Will Learn:"You are brilliant; that is unexpected." When compliments reveal prejudices and racism (3:59)The placebo syndrome and its positive effects (7:59)Being always ready to pivot in case the worse happens. How Ahmir's mentality took him to never aiming to success (13:27)The difference between 'I am!' and 'Am I?' (15:57)Yes or BS:In hip hop, your story needs to be bigger than your talent.There is no better pizza than Valducci's.Questlove's vaccinated food salons will be back in 2021.Just Blaze is a top three hip-hop producer of all time.Self-sabotage can be cured.Andy Warhol is like Pete Rock for painters.The Akai MPC drum machine produces a swing that is the closest to an actual drum.Black thought is too good to be great.Connect with Ahmir:InstagramTwitterFacebook See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Summer of Soul revives the forgotten, groovy history of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, a pivotal moment in Black culture sometimes dubbed “Black Woodstock.” This massive concert series spanned multiple weekends and featured everyone from Sly and the Family Stone to Nina Simone to Stevie Wonder to Mahalia Jackson. But the footage of the festival sat in a basement for 50 years. Now it's been compiled into a documentary by director Ahmir Thompson — better known as Questlove, the drummer and frontman for the Roots — and the result is absolutely infectious. How to watch it: Summer of Soul is in theaters and streaming on Hulu. Read Alissa's review here: Enjoyed this episode? Rate Vox Quick Hits ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Good people,Today I'm joined by Ahmir Khalib Thompson, also known as Questlove. He is an accomplished musician, producer, and author. Ahmir is the drummer of the Grammy Award-winning band The Roots. Since 2014, The Roots have been serving as the in-house band for The Tonight Show. In addition, he produced records for Elvis Costello, Jaz-Z, Amy Whinehouse, and John Legend, among many others. Ahmir's truth is about living with lymphedema, but more specifically, how he decided to deal with the condition from the beginning. Coming from a family where people wouldn't go to the hospital unless they were about to die certainly contributed to Ahmir's decision of keeping his condition a secret, hidden in plain sight, wearing baggy clothes even after losing a considerable amount of weight. In this first part of the interview, Ahmir, using his flawless storyteller abilities, takes us through his journey of how his life suddenly changed one morning and how he decided to deal with it. We had a fantastic conversation about acceptance and how often creative and gifted people commit self-sabotage. He kindly shared his experiences as a producer, and he also talked about his directorial debut. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Ahmir's truth and his first reactions seeing his body completely different overnight (4:28)The body talks. Hiding Ahmir's condition started getting harder (12:30)Superman to the fans, Clark Kent to himself. Ahmir's conflict of living two lives (18:21)The jig is up. What happened when Ahmir's secret was no longer a secret (20:23)After many years, Ahmir found an effective treatment that helped him (for a while) (24:30)Ahmir finally decided to deal with his condition more seriously (34:25)Resources mentioned:Book: Gay Hendricks - The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next LevelConnect with Ahmir:InstagramTwitterFacebook See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This Must Be the Gig is joined by Black Thought of The Roots. Long before he became the voice of one of the most essential hip-hop groups of a generation, Tariq Trotter started performing on the streets of Philadelphia with another young man named Ahmir Thompson. Not long later, the duo stood at the fore of a massively influential band, now going by Black Thought and ?uestlove. The Roots made a splash quickly, kicking off in the early '90s and reaching the platinum echelon with 1999's classic Things Fall Apart. That strength has only continued to grow for decades, with Black Thought's diverse list of credits now including The Roots' role as Jimmy Fallon's house band on Late Night. Now, Black Thought is set to release his third solo project, Streams of Thought Vol. 3: Cain and Abel. Due October 2nd, the record spans a vast array, showcasing Thought's unique vocal skill alongside production from Sean C and features including Pusha T and Portugal the Man. In this chat, Lior spoke with Black Thought about what he and ?uestlove learned while performing on the street, how the pandemic has shifted his pre-show routines at Fallon, setting Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as a goal in the Roots' rise, covering Debarge as a teenager, and so much more. Head here for more info on Black Thought. Head here for more information on this week's featured organization, Black Roots Alliance.

He's also the author of multiple bestselling books including an unconventional memoir Mo' Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove, Soul Train: The Music, Dance, and Style of a Generation, and Something To Food About: Exploring Creativity with Innovative Chefs.

Emojis, video games, even the humble “@” symbol -- all these staples of digital life have been as carefully designed as the most sleek furniture or fancy architecture. But do they belong in a museum? Hell yes, says Abbi’s friend Ahmir Thompson (a.k.a. Questlove, and emoji obsessive). If you find yourself wondering if it’s allowed, “then it's pretty much high art,” he says.

Ahmir Thompson (a.k.a. Questlove of The Roots) is a very busy dude. He was feeling stretched thin, until he discovered the power of silence to let his creativity cut through the noise. To help him find that silence, he’s got one of Yves Klein’s Blue Monochrome prints on his wall at home. Abbi gets up close to one of Klein’s blue paintings and Kazimir Malevich’s “Suprematist Composition: White on White” and discovers how deep a single color can get -- if you just give it some time.
