Podcasts about jojo abot

Elle chante, danse, pose, joue la comédie, réalise certaines de ses vidéos… Difficile de trouver ce que la Ghanéenne Jojo Abot ne sait pas faire. Aujourd'hui installée à New York, l'artiste pluridisciplinaire s'est même inventé un style, "l'afro-hypno-sonic music", où se croisent afropunk et hip hop sur fond de voix soul et de costumes flamboyants. Album : Meditations of Resistance and Existence (2020)

Le 8 décembre 2022, Jojo Abot effectuait son premier concert en France à l'occasion de la 44ème édition des Trans Musicales de Rennes. Juste avant de fouler la scène du Hall 8, la charismatique chanteuse, performeuse multimédia, actrice, et musicienne ghanéenne me retrouve pour me décrire son univers sonore envoûtant. Au look afropunk, dotée d'une tunique et d'une perruque rouge, de tatouages et de piercings et d'un regard perçant, Jojo Abot me livre ses souvenirs. Elle a baigné dans la culture Éwé de son pays, aux sons des musiques ancestrales et du highlife.L'artiste a développé au fur et à mesure son propre genre musical qu'elle nomme“'afro-hypno-sonic music", croisement habile de sonorités afro-futuristes, de hip-hop, de soul et d'électronique. Sur ces rythmiques ancestrales et digitales mariant bass music et percussions, la chanteuse alterne envolés méditatives et rap puissant. À travers ses chansons et albums, Jojo Abot délivre une ode à la femme, à la sexualité, à l'amour et sinsurge contre les abus et injustice. Avec son univers imtrospectif, mystiaue et révolutionnaire, l'artiste bouleverse les codes. Installée à Brooklyn depuis plusieurs années, Jojo alterne performances théâtrales, opéras, films, concerts et albums. De son premier EP Fifya Woto qui l'a fait remarquer en 2015, en passant par ses disques et innombrables projets, Jojo Abor est ume chanteuse énigmatique, incomparable et surtout talentueuse.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! We're back in Nairobi this week and we're talking the business of being a creative in Africa. Moses Mbasu, better known as Buddha Blaze is the Talent Manager at BLAZE Kenya and Creative Director at Spark Africa Limited a multimedia youth oriented agency based in Nairobi, Kenya. He got his start as a music blogger and all around "connector" to events, music, hip-hop, Africa, diaspora, technology, social networking, fashion, media, investment, and progressive politics. Blaze was the editor of East Africa’s first entertainment magazine PHAT! - the first magazine of its kind in Kenya. He gained Pan-African recognition as the Artist and Repertoire Manager at Coke Studio Africa (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCABZrkBsGdCRGpibJOkKKmw), a music production TV series with live performances by African artists. Blaze's career works have provided a platform for young and budding African artists to express themselves and connect with fans, documenting the emergence of an entertainment industry in Kenya. In his time as editor of PHAT! Magazine, Blaze interviewed numerous entertainers namely Suzanna Owiyo, Yvonne Chakachaka, Shaggy, Nameless, Redsan, Eric Wainaina, Bamboo, Alpha Blondy, the late Lucky Dube, Mandoza, Lebo Mathhhhosa and Brenda Fassie. Blaze led campaigns through writing to have radio stations start playing Kenyan music instead of only playing international music changing the way radio looks at Kenyan music. Following his experience spearheading Safaricom's 2002 Star Search, in 2003 he led the first group of Kenyan artists to the KORA All African Music Awards in Johannesburg, South Africa. In 2004 he was involved in World Bank anti-piracy project Action for Music and through working with WAPI, Blaze designed and managed a global artists movement for British Council called WAPI which had reach in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda and Malawi. Through WAPI, Blaze has inspired the careers of many artists such as Sauti Sol, Big Mic, Point Blank, Muthoni the Drummer Queen and Liz Ogumbo. Blaze was truly a treat to host.

Presented in collaboration with the Prototype Festival, Modulation is a ground-breaking exploration of opera and theater adapting to a new format. Audience members are in control as they navigate through a landscape of new musical pieces—each with its own visual component—exploring the strands that weave together our lives over this past tumultuous and revelatory year. With themes of isolation, identity and fear, with the connection of breath, the experience brings together 13 of the most provocative and diverse voices in the contemporary music idiom. In this conversation, we are honored to welcome four of these extraordinary composers, all of whom are Los Angeles natives or based now in Los Angeles. Composer Juhi Bansal welcomes Jojo Abot, Yvette Janine Jackson, and Carmina Escobar. Please note that this conversation delves into contemporary issues and includes adult language which might not be suitable for all listeners. Modulation can be accessed on LA Opera's website until February 28, 2021 at 8:59pm PT: https://www.laopera.org/performances/upcoming-digital-performances/modulation

Here's a reminder that you don't need the approval of UN officials to feel valid. Kat however, actually went out and got the endorsement from Kofi Annan and became a Global Shaper for the World Economic Forum. Not through affirmative action bus simply because she's a born overachiever. For all details of Katlego's overwhelming resumé you should just go check her Wikipedia page. For now, let's focus on her love for 80's pop divas with some sidesteps into musicals and emo.

The annual South by Southwest music festival is our personal endurance challenge to discover as many great unknown and often unsigned bands as possible in just one week. To train for the event, Bob Boilen, Stephen Thompson and I listen to more than a thousand songs by bands playing the festival, from all over the world, and try to map out a calendar to see our favorites. On this edition of All Songs Considered we play some of the standout songs ahead of the 2019 festival, including the Ghanian artist Jojo Abot, garage rock from Blushh, the Japanese pop group CHAI, music made by robots (I'm not making that up) and much, much more. — Robin Hilton
