The Other Side Of The Bell - A Trumpet Podcast

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter Aaron Smith, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass.  About Aaron : Aaron Smith is an active freelance trumpet player in Los Angeles, CA. He also writes, arranges, and publishes music through his small business, TrumpetSmith Publishing (ASCAP). In addition, he serves on the Hearing Board for the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) Local 47 and on the Board of Directors for the Recording Musicians Association Los Angeles (RMALA).  Raised in an Army household with musician parents who played jazz and r&b, and later to receive classical conservatory training, Smith thrives on versatility, consistency, and accurate delivery of musical intent. As a trusted freelance musician in Los Angeles, he performs regularly for live orchestral events, musical theatre, films, independent recording projects, streaming, television, and video games.  He has recorded on film/tv projects for celebrated composers including Alan Menken, Bear McCreary, Branford Marsalis, Germaine Franco, Heitor Pereira, Kris Bowers, Rob Simonsen, and Terence Blanchard; on sound recordings for Adrian Younge, Austin Wintory, Charles Gaines, Dr. Dre, Joachim Horsley, John Daversa, and X Ambassadors. He has performed as a sideman in bands on the Academy Awards, Dancing with the Stars, Disney's Encore!, Ellen, the LATE LATE Show, and The Voice.

His work has been performed internationally. He has also created original chamber music commissioned by Marissa Benedict for University of Minnesota, Jim Self for University of Southern California, also by the Interlochen Center for the Arts, and Stomvi-USA.  Smith's training as a music performance major includes a Master of Fine Arts degree from California Institute of the Arts where he studied with Edward Carroll and John Fumo; and a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music with professor James Thompson.

It's hard to think of another songbook in Disney's oeuvre that has put a dent in pop culture quite like Encanto, the latest from Walt Disney Animation Studios. "We Don't Talk About Bruno," "The Family Madrigal," "Surface Pressure," all songs that have topped Billboard charts and dominated TikTok for more than a year now, courtesy of Hamilton scribe Lin-Manuel Miranda. But an equally vital part of Encanto's inviting world, an enchanted casita in which the vibrant members of the Madrigal family live and dream, is the orchestral score courtesy of Germaine Franco.   It's the score that made Franco an Oscar nominee, only the sixth woman in Oscar history to be nominated for Best Original Score (and the first Latina). And now, that same score is up for a Grammy for Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, alongside many of the same big names she competed against for the Academy Award earlier this year: Hans Zimmer, Jonny Greenwood, and Nicholas Britell.   Germaine's score for Encanto is inviting and magical, making expert use of a variety of Latinx instruments and musical styles to fill in the many corners of the Madrigal family tree. Colombian rhythms mix with samba and cumbia, alongside more vital, traditional orchestral instrumentation. It's a melting pot of influences that nonetheless span vast corners of the Latinx umbrella, making for a sound as narratively diverse as it is thematically appropriate.   Now, we welcome Germaine Franco to the show to discuss her score for Encanto and more.   You can find Germaine Franco at her official website here.   Encanto is currently streaming on Disney+. You can also listen to the score on your preferred music streaming service courtesy of Walt Disney Records.

The “Encanto” soundtrack remains truly enchanted, spending its ninth week at number-one on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the tracking week spanning March 4 through March 10. This comes as the film continues to notch wins during the awards season, claiming the BAFTA for Best Animated Feature and a Society of Composers and Lyricists prize for Germaine Franco‘s score. Read more about this week's charts at Billboard.com here and here. “Encanto” achieved another 72,500 album units based on its combined album sales, track sales, and online streams. That's down 9% from last week, but it was still enough to outpace the week's top debut, King Von‘s posthumous album “What it Means to Be King.” The rapper was shot and killed during an altercation in November 2020. He had released his debut studio album, “Welcome to O'Block,” just one week before his murder. It peaked at number-five on the chart, which makes “What it Means” his highest-charting effort with 59,000 album units. Rounding out the top five are Morgan Wallen‘s “Dangerous” at number-three, Kodak Black‘s “Back for Everything” at number-four, and Gunna‘s “DS4Ever” at number-five. Meanwhile, on the Hot 100 singles chart, Glass Animals‘ “Heat Waves” remains number-one for the second week after taking a record 59 weeks to get to the top spot. It's the first song by a British group to spend multiple weeks at number-one since the Spice Girls‘ breakthrough hit “Wannabe” in the 1990s. But “Encanto's” “We Don't Talk About Bruno” is still holding tight to number-two after spending five weeks at the pinnacle. Perhaps we'll be talking about “Bruno” again if “Encanto” ends up winning Best Animated Feature at the Oscars on March 27. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support

Disney's Encanto is a spiritual banquet … hence, we SHOULD talk about Bruno! Join guest speaker Bernadette Toohey MGL and I, as we explore the hidden spiritual gifts, our dignity, the centrality of family and what makes truly Encanto prophetic for our times!Excerpt: "...one of our focus areas at the moment in MGL sisters particularly, is allowing people to really know and to move out really powerfully in the spiritual gifts in the gifts that were given through the Holy Spirit...... regarding Bruno, I was thinking a little bit back to the prophets like Jeremiah, and I guess the prophet Elijah, and even say, John the Baptist, they're these kind of these weirdos that do strange things in Scripture, but they're actually really anointed with the Word of God... they were, in some way, kind of silenced and kind of ostracised from their not only their biological families, but from the church family precisely because they had a particular spiritual gift that was at that time, it seemed threatening to the norm. A bit like Bruno being prophetic of the fragmentation of the casita... and in some ways, it's like the Catholic church historically was like "Let's not talk about Francis..."All music used in the episode were SamYungOfficial's covers from Disney's Encanto soundtrack (Germaine Franco, Lin-Manuel Miranda)

In a small town in Colombia, the Madrigals live in a house where the members have gifts and abilities in thanks to a candle containing a miracle. One of the family members, a young teenage girl named Mirabel, doesn't have any magical powers. One day, she sees the house cracking and falling apart. The only one who can help her save the house is her fortune telling uncle Bruno who had since been ostracized by the family and had disappeared. Will Mirabel save the house before it's too late? The film has made over $228 million dollars in the box office and has won the Golden Globes for Best Animated Feature. It has been praised for its theme of family and intergenerational trauma, its animation, its representation of Colombian culture, and the music done by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Germaine Franco.

In Season 3, episode 1 of the Bad Filipino podcast, I talk with my dear friend Jennifer C. about the Disney animated feature Encanto, focusing primarily on the women who bring this film to life and the incredible representation of Colombian culture throughout the movie. Jennifer C. is a Colombian American blogger, content creator, speaker and creative. As one-half of the sister duo @CurlyCurvyPassion on social media and the web since 2016, Jennifer advocates for empowerment through real talk about natural hair, body love, community & culture. You can read her blog and follow her social media at: CURLY CURVY PASSION. Encanto is Disney's first film that truly encapsulates the culture and nuances of Colombia. From the storyline and historical references to the symbolism of the costumes and music soundtrack. Encanto is the 60th film by Disney with all original songs written by multi-award-winning playwright/producer/director Lin-Manuel Miranda. Every effort was made in being as true and authentic to the creation of this animated feature. The Co-director and Co-writer Charise Castro Smith is from Miami, Florida and raised in a Cuban family. Germaine Franco composed the film and has shattered the glass ceiling for Latina composers. She is the first female composer for a Disney animated feature, the first Latina composer invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences music branch and to receive the Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement for Music in an Animated Feature (COCO). Plus, Franco is the first female composer to be hired by DreamWorks Animation and Pixar. The soundtrack for Encanto hit the ground running upon its release in November 2021. Within two weeks, it reached number 1 on Billboard 200, dethroning Adele's 30. It is the first Disney film since Frozen II to top the chart. Up for several award nominations, it has won seven so far. An impressive seven songs from the album appeared on the US Billboard Hot 100, led by "We Don't Talk About Bruno" - which was the soundtrack's most popular song. it reached number one on the Spotify Top 50 US chart on January 10, 2022. The single "Surface Pressure" reached number 10, making Encanto the first Disney animated film to have generated multiple top-10 songs on the Hot 100. "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is the first-ever original Disney song to top the chart. On the UK Singles Chart, "We Don't Talk About Bruno", "Surface Pressure" and "The Family Madrigal" have peaked at numbers one, five and fifteen, respectively. Nearly all the female voice roles were cast by Latina artists who act and sing on the soundtrack, and all of Colombian or Cuban descent. Actress Angélica María Cepeda Jiménez who voices Julieta (Maribel's mom), is born in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Carolina del Pilar Gaitán Lozano who voices Pepa Madrigal (Aunt) is born in Villavicencio, Meta, Colombia. The main character Maribel Madrigal is voiced by Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), who was born in Neuquén, Argentina. Maribel's sisters are voiced by Jessica Darrow (Luisa, a Cuban American born in Miami) and Diane Guerrero (Isabela, Colombian born in New Jersey). The only character with a separate voice actress and singer is 'Abuela' Alma Madrigal. She is voiced by actress Maria Cecilia Botero Cadavid (Colombian), with actress Olga Merediz (Cuban) providing the vocals. I came away from our conversation completely inspired and mesmerized with Colombian culture, learning how much Disney got it right with Encanto. It is a beautiful and powerful story that opens the doors for conversations on healing from trauma, embracing one's culture... even finding the strength to be true to one's identity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myki-angeline/support

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Mickey's PhilharMagic at Disney California Adventure has received an update with the addition of a song and characters from Disney Pixar's Coco! Join us as we get Un Poco Loco on this episode of attraction checklist. Recorded on November 1, 2021. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we return to Disney California Adventure to see the updates to Mickey's PhilharMagic. The Disneyland Resort website describes this attraction saying: Immerse yourself in the wonder of Disney animation and music when you experience this 12-minute, 3D movie starring Donald Duck. There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and there isn't a thrill level listed either. We experienced the previous version of Mickey's PhilharMagic at California Adventure back in episode 72 of Attraction Checklist, but here are some more facts regarding the recent update. 1. It was announced on July 1, 2021, that Mickey's PhilharMagic would receive a brand new segment in the form of a musical number from Coco on July 17th.  The addition would happen at Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Paris on July 17 and then later in 2021 at Walt Disney World. 2. The addition of Coco to Mickey's PhilharMagic in 2021 marks the first time a new segment has been added to the show since it's debut at Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom in 2003. 3. Donald Duck appearing with characters from Coco marks the first time Disney and Pixar animators have worked on a project where characters from both animation studios would appear together on screen. 4. One of original composers from Coco, Germaine Franco returned to score the Coco section of the film. 5.
