Podcast appearances and mentions of kokayi

Guggenheim Fellow, artist, producer, and educator Kokayi returns to unpack the layers of sound, storytelling, and being a vessel for cultural memory.Since our first conversation, Kokayi has pushed deeper into multidisciplinary work—blending sound design, improvisation, code, and community-building. This conversation tracks his reflections on legacy, experimentation, and why he's wary of institutions that try to own culture. We talk about what's next, how he stays rooted in practice, and what it means to be free in a creative economy that rewards conformity.Sound as both artform and archival practiceWhy joy is built into his live performance structureNavigating mentorship, freedom, and capitalist frameworksCreating from truth instead of chasing metricsThe importance of protecting your time and your IP

In this episode of Visual Intonation, we explore the world of Taj Kokayi, a dynamic young artist whose work spans filmmaking, photography, graphic design, and sports videography. With an eye for storytelling, Taj has built an impressive portfolio, including his role as a videographer and as an editor for his high school's broadcast program. Whether he's capturing the intensity of championship volleyball games or framing the stillness of nature through his lens, Taj's passion for visual communication is unmistakable. He brings a creative energy to everything he touches, from directing live broadcasts to creating impactful digital content on his highly followed Instagram account, @kingofmetahumans, where he engages over 75,000 followers with science fiction and comic book fandom.  Taj's commitment to his craft is clear in his diverse experiences. Beyond his high school work, he's also contributed as an Associate Producer for Glasshaus in Brooklyn, NY, and has had a hand in major productions at NBCUniversal, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live. His creative vision was also honed during his time at George Mason University, where he earned a degree in Film and Video Studies, graduating summa cum laude. With an undeniable passion for the intersection of art and storytelling, Taj has been awarded multiple honors, including the Audience Award and Best Short Screenplay for his thesis film, 'White Mirror', which won six awards. Taj's talents extend beyond film into the world of corporate media and public relations, where he's worked with companies like Focus Features and Mueller Water Products.  But Taj's journey is just beginning. As he looks ahead to pursuing a degree in film next year, he continues to refine his skills and find new ways to express his ideas. In this conversation, Taj reflects on the importance of visual storytelling, his journey as a young artist, and the role mentorship has played in his growth. Taj Kokayi's story is one of passion, persistence, and creativity. Tune in to hear how this rising star is blending his love for visual media with a drive to share powerful stories—whether through the lens of a camera, the pages of a comic book, or the pulse of sports action. It's an inspiring episode for anyone interested in the future of filmmaking and digital storytelling. Taj Kokayi's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tajkokayi/?hl=enTaj Kokayi's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tajkokayiTaj Kokayi's Twitter: https://x.com/tajkokayi?lang=enSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Sortie du double album Black Lives, From Generation To Generation chez Jammin'colorS. Cheick Tidiane Seck, Immanuel Wilkins, Stephanie McKay, Sonny Troupé, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, David & Marque Gilmore, Reggie Washington, DJ Grazzhoppa, Jean-Paul Bourelly, Jeremy Pelt, Grégory Privat, Marcus Strickland, Alicia Hall Moran… et tant d'autres réunis sur un même album en un collectif d‘artistes qui continuent de lutter contre le racisme à travers la musique. "La musique est l'arme du futur". Le slogan du totémique Fela Kuti demeure d'actualité en 2021, tant les problèmes qui divisent depuis trop longtemps le monde en noir et blanc restent prégnants dans une société qui semble avoir dans sa grande majorité été sourde aux messages des artistes. Car le Nigérian est loin d'être le seul à avoir porté le débat des droits civiques sur les scènes publiques. Nina Simone comme Bob Marley, Curtis Mayfield comme Abbey Lincoln, Miriam Makeba, comme James Brown, la liste est trop longue des musiciens qui ont fait de leur médium un instrument de luttes. Si les lignes ont bougé sur le terrain de la musique, les fractures sont encore béantes dans un monde qui tend à se replier vers des identités fermées et des idéologies réactionnaires. C'est tout l'enjeu de ce projet, dont le titre renvoie au grand mouvement citoyen américain, qui essaime depuis à travers la planète. Black Lives, from Generation to Generation, un message plus que nécessaire à l'heure où George Floyd comme Adama Traoré sont décédés.   Cette sélection conçue par Stefany Calembert s'en fait l'écho. La productrice entend démontrer la vivacité de ce message qui traverse depuis des décennies les générations et qui aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, incite à agir. Ici, les plus jeunes n'ont guère plus de vingt ans et le vétéran va bientôt fêter ses quatre-vingt printemps. Ils sont nés à Ségou, Bruges, Washington, Chicago, en banlieue de Pointe-à-Pitre comme dans le Bronx. Ils sont américains, martiniquais, sud-africains ou haïtiens, tous unis autour de cette cause commune, qui en rien ne doit gommer la diversité de leurs origines qui s'exprime ainsi dans une profusion stylistique. C'est l'autre objectif de cette sélection : démontrer en vingt titres la créativité d'une communauté afro-diasporique dont la bande-son raconte à travers un foisonnant éclectisme le destin d'hommes et de femmes qui ont su transcender cet originel arrachement à leur continent. Ce son, c'est celui du fond des cales des navires négriers, c'est celui des rythmes réinventés loin de leur terreau ancestral, c'est celui d'une voix qui parvient à sublimer ses douleurs, celui d'un saxophone qui hurle face à la ségrégation. Ce son, c'est celui de l'Atlantique noir, cet océan composé par tant de vies et de morts, cette zone de flux et de remous, d'allers et désormais de retours, d'où auront émergé aussi bien le blues que le rap, le jazz que la biguine. Au cœur ou dans les marges de cet espace informel et pourtant bien réel, ceux qui n'avaient pas le droit à la parole se sont exprimés, un temps dans le secret, aujourd'hui sur tous les canaux médiatiques, faisant résonner au plus haut ce message d'émancipation.   Black Lives from Generation to Generation Jammin'colorS / l'Autre Distribution. À paraître le 25 mars 2022. La liberté d'expression ne serait qu'un mot vain sans la diversité des voix pour la porter. Que l'on se nomme Cheick Tidiane Seck, piano tambour malien ; ou Sonny Troupé, tambour enchanté guadeloupéen ; Reggie Washington, maître groover dont la basse narre toute l'épopée du jazz ; ou Jean-Paul Bourelly, érudit chercheur de son qui creuse un singulier sillon en direction d'Haïti. C'est de cela dont parle cette sélection : des maux dits blues, de la soul engagée, des phrasés qui tonnent… Tous ceux-là cohabitent autour d'un même désir d'en finir avec cette vision en noir et blanc qui n'a que trop duré, aussi bien Alicia Hall Moran, mezzo-soprano qui entremêle culture classique et improvisation débridée, que Kokayi, chantre hip-hop capable de délirer sur les octaves, DJ Grazzhoppa dont la science des platines se joue au-delà des querelles de chapelles comme Jacques Schwarz-Bart dont le saxophone s'est illustré autant du côté de la bonne vieille nu-soul que du jazz aux accents caribéens. Pas de transes portées sans cette fondamentale diversalité d'horizons, tel un juste écho à la féconde pensée post-moderne d'Édouard Glissant qui, pour avoir été parmi les activistes du premier Congrès des artistes et écrivains noirs à la Sorbonne en 1956, n'en fut moins, dans les mêmes années, engagé dans la lutte contre la guerre coloniale en Algérie. Le poète philosophe martiniquais ne disait-il pas : "Depuis la révolution de Césaire et tout ce qui s'ensuit, nous commençons à comprendre que nous sommes un peuple et une culture composites. Et ceci, aujourd'hui, n'est pas un manque et un vice, c'est pratiquement un avantage". Nos invités sont Cheick Amadou Tidiane Seck, Sonny Troupé, Reggie Washington, Guimba Tamba Kouyaté et Stefany Calembert-Washington (productrice exécutive).   Titres Interprétés à RFI au Grand studio - Sanga Bô, LIVE RFI Vidéo RFI Vidéos - Walk Feat.

Sortie du double album Black Lives, From Generation To Generation chez Jammin'colorS. Cheick Tidiane Seck, Immanuel Wilkins, Stephanie McKay, Sonny Troupé, Jacques Schwarz-Bart, David & Marque Gilmore, Reggie Washington, DJ Grazzhoppa, Jean-Paul Bourelly, Jeremy Pelt, Grégory Privat, Marcus Strickland, Alicia Hall Moran… et tant d'autres réunis sur un même album en un collectif d‘artistes qui continuent de lutter contre le racisme à travers la musique. "La musique est l'arme du futur". Le slogan du totémique Fela Kuti demeure d'actualité en 2021, tant les problèmes qui divisent depuis trop longtemps le monde en noir et blanc restent prégnants dans une société qui semble avoir dans sa grande majorité été sourde aux messages des artistes. Car le Nigérian est loin d'être le seul à avoir porté le débat des droits civiques sur les scènes publiques. Nina Simone comme Bob Marley, Curtis Mayfield comme Abbey Lincoln, Miriam Makeba, comme James Brown, la liste est trop longue des musiciens qui ont fait de leur médium un instrument de luttes. Si les lignes ont bougé sur le terrain de la musique, les fractures sont encore béantes dans un monde qui tend à se replier vers des identités fermées et des idéologies réactionnaires. C'est tout l'enjeu de ce projet, dont le titre renvoie au grand mouvement citoyen américain, qui essaime depuis à travers la planète. Black Lives, from Generation to Generation, un message plus que nécessaire à l'heure où George Floyd comme Adama Traoré sont décédés.   Cette sélection conçue par Stefany Calembert s'en fait l'écho. La productrice entend démontrer la vivacité de ce message qui traverse depuis des décennies les générations et qui aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, incite à agir. Ici, les plus jeunes n'ont guère plus de vingt ans et le vétéran va bientôt fêter ses quatre-vingt printemps. Ils sont nés à Ségou, Bruges, Washington, Chicago, en banlieue de Pointe-à-Pitre comme dans le Bronx. Ils sont américains, martiniquais, sud-africains ou haïtiens, tous unis autour de cette cause commune, qui en rien ne doit gommer la diversité de leurs origines qui s'exprime ainsi dans une profusion stylistique. C'est l'autre objectif de cette sélection : démontrer en vingt titres la créativité d'une communauté afro-diasporique dont la bande-son raconte à travers un foisonnant éclectisme le destin d'hommes et de femmes qui ont su transcender cet originel arrachement à leur continent. Ce son, c'est celui du fond des cales des navires négriers, c'est celui des rythmes réinventés loin de leur terreau ancestral, c'est celui d'une voix qui parvient à sublimer ses douleurs, celui d'un saxophone qui hurle face à la ségrégation. Ce son, c'est celui de l'Atlantique noir, cet océan composé par tant de vies et de morts, cette zone de flux et de remous, d'allers et désormais de retours, d'où auront émergé aussi bien le blues que le rap, le jazz que la biguine. Au cœur ou dans les marges de cet espace informel et pourtant bien réel, ceux qui n'avaient pas le droit à la parole se sont exprimés, un temps dans le secret, aujourd'hui sur tous les canaux médiatiques, faisant résonner au plus haut ce message d'émancipation.   Black Lives from Generation to Generation Jammin'colorS / l'Autre Distribution. À paraître le 25 mars 2022. La liberté d'expression ne serait qu'un mot vain sans la diversité des voix pour la porter. Que l'on se nomme Cheick Tidiane Seck, piano tambour malien ; ou Sonny Troupé, tambour enchanté guadeloupéen ; Reggie Washington, maître groover dont la basse narre toute l'épopée du jazz ; ou Jean-Paul Bourelly, érudit chercheur de son qui creuse un singulier sillon en direction d'Haïti. C'est de cela dont parle cette sélection : des maux dits blues, de la soul engagée, des phrasés qui tonnent… Tous ceux-là cohabitent autour d'un même désir d'en finir avec cette vision en noir et blanc qui n'a que trop duré, aussi bien Alicia Hall Moran, mezzo-soprano qui entremêle culture classique et improvisation débridée, que Kokayi, chantre hip-hop capable de délirer sur les octaves, DJ Grazzhoppa dont la science des platines se joue au-delà des querelles de chapelles comme Jacques Schwarz-Bart dont le saxophone s'est illustré autant du côté de la bonne vieille nu-soul que du jazz aux accents caribéens. Pas de transes portées sans cette fondamentale diversalité d'horizons, tel un juste écho à la féconde pensée post-moderne d'Édouard Glissant qui, pour avoir été parmi les activistes du premier Congrès des artistes et écrivains noirs à la Sorbonne en 1956, n'en fut moins, dans les mêmes années, engagé dans la lutte contre la guerre coloniale en Algérie. Le poète philosophe martiniquais ne disait-il pas : "Depuis la révolution de Césaire et tout ce qui s'ensuit, nous commençons à comprendre que nous sommes un peuple et une culture composites. Et ceci, aujourd'hui, n'est pas un manque et un vice, c'est pratiquement un avantage". Nos invités sont Cheick Amadou Tidiane Seck, Sonny Troupé, Reggie Washington, Guimba Tamba Kouyaté et Stefany Calembert-Washington (productrice exécutive).   Titres Interprétés à RFI au Grand studio - Sanga Bô, LIVE RFI Vidéo RFI Vidéos - Walk Feat.

Washington, D.C. has a language all its own. Words that mean something here in the nation's capital mean something completely different or nothing at all everywhere else. We're talking about sequestration and reconciliation, fiscal cliffs and super-secret SCIFs. Even SALT, COLA and iced tea - things normally found in your kitchen - have alternate definitions in the federal city. It's the accumulated language of legislating and regulating, the vernacular of those in power. There's also another language native to Washington, D.C., a city with vibrant culture, history and diversity. Ordinary Washingtonians living just blocks from these centers of federal power speak it fluently.So get cised, Moe, and gavel in the season one finale of The Debrief with Major Garrett, featuring Dave Dildine of WTOP Radio, Alexandra Petri of The Washington Post, D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, co-author of Dog Whistles, Walk-Backs, and Washington Handshakes Chuck McCutcheon and Grammy-nominated artist and DC-native Kokayi.A note to our audience: The Debrief will return with new episodes this fall. We thank you for listening and can't wait to bring you season two. The Debrief is produced by Jamie Benson, Sara Cook, Arden Farhi, Jake Rosen and Ellee Watson.

Hear three stories that center on Washington, D.C. and account for it being today’s hotbed of terrorism: a teacher giving lessons in propaganda and porn, a wannabe terrorist ramming attack stopped in the nick of time, and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar desecrating 9/11. Seitu Kokayi, under investigation for suspected interest in Islamic extremism, was just convicted of sending pornographic images to a 15-year-old girl and trying to get her to respond to his sexual advances. As a teacher at an Islamic school in D.C., he used his influence to radicalize his young students and groom them for sexual encounters. He’s also connected to a YouTube channel that grooms girls to become jihadi brides and take up arms for Islam. Henry Rondell, a wannabe terrorist, was captured moments before he committed a copycat ramming attack of pedestrians at National Harbor in the D.C. area. Inspired by ISIS videos to commit jihad and die, and reportedly mentally ill, he wanted to kill more people than the attacker had done in Nice, France. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, remains unapologetic after her outrageous speech to CAIR, in which she trivialized 9/11 by describing it as “some people did something”! Fortunately, the New York Post just ran a cover showing the Twin Towers in flames, with the headline, “Here’s your something."

In a time when hip hop culture has been under heavy criticism for the lack of political content in commercial hip hop, Keur Gui reminds us of what hip hop culture is capable of, in terms of both social commentary and political action. As founding members of the social and political movement Y’en A Marre (Enough is Enough), Keur Gui has provided heavy social commentary in their music for over 20 years. Coming out of Senegal, which is perhaps one of the most political hip hop scenes in the world, Keur Gui has used hip hop culture to engage with their audiences and to confront the state. Y’en A Marre is one of the only social movements deeply rooted in hip hop culture to effect political change. In Senegal, Y’en A Marre was involvement in mass mobilization campaigns, helped register voters, engaged in social protest, and promoted an ideology known as New Type of Senegalese (NTS). The idea behind NTS is that calls for social change go beyond requests for government action, but also rests in responsible citizenship. While the people may call for government-led development, the people also need to take responsibility for their contributions to environmental and social problems.Y’en A Marre is an ongoing movement, which has focused on Senegalese helping Senegalese. One of the projects Keur Gui is currently working on is a fundraiser to build a recording studio in their hometown Kaolack. The fundraiser can be found at http://projects.keurgui.net.

Kokayi attended the Million Man March on October 16, 1995. Since that day, he has dedicated himself to addressing social injustice, using very interesting means to do so.

Tonedeff is the hip-hop incarnation of WebTV. Go with it for a second - something that was way ahead of its time, brilliant, and underappreciated as hell. Before any MC was worried about connecting with fans on a more personal level, before Twitter’s parents even met, where was Tone? On the QN5 message boards, building the brand. Oh, before rappers were talking about their brand, what was Tone doing? Building his brand, slanging one baby blue QN5 shirt at a time. Oh, merch? Yeah, Tone did that too, whether it was for QN5 artists like PackFM or the supergroup Extended F@mm (which may be coming back - check the interview), yeah, Tone did that too. And don’t forget the huge QN5 Mega Shows, touring the country, or putting you on to dope acts like Kokayi. Tone did all of that too. And that’s not even mentioning his solo project Archetype, an underground classic. But Tone didn’t die off the way of WebTV. He just evolved. Got stronger. He’s like what the next generation of Chromecast would be. But he’s it now. Something like that. But while Tone’s early accomplishments and innovations are all revolutionary, it’s also in the past. Today Tone is focused more on himself and his new artists, Fjer and Lucy Camp. Having just dropped his second solo album Polymer this summer, a confessional that is the most introspective Tonedeff’s ever gotten, and if you listened to songs like “Porcelain,” that’s saying something. Musically, it’s ambitious, as Tone does a little bit of everything, including the wall of sound. It’s an album that you can’t just listen to once or give a cursory interview about what it was like to make it and what’s your favorite track and thanks for stopping by. It’s an album that requires a dissection and in that process, one has to step back and ask themselves if it’s the music or themselves that’s under the microscope. That’s why you’re getting this super-long interview with someone I’ve always respected for not only putting his own blood, sweat, and tears in the game with no rich relatives, but someone who wears their heart on their sleeve and is always finding new ways to be innovative. There’s not too many artists left that I can honestly say that about, so it’s kind of a big deal when I get to interview one of them. Need anymore reasons to check the interview? Oh yeah. Find out the answer to that one question you know you want to ask but you just can’t because it’s been asked so many damn times before and if I ask the question and Tone gets pissed he’s gonna hang up and that’s going to be embarrassing and ruin all the questions I agonized over prepping for this and then how do I edit the interview to make it sound like it’s all good and really, it would just be a huge mess. I didn’t even ask it, but still got you an answer. These interviews are just that good. http://twitter.com/tonedeff http://twitter.com/seven3zero

Wayna (known by the real name Woyneab Miraf Wondwossen) is an Ethiopian-born American R&B singer. It has been said that Grammy-nominated, Ethiopian-born, singer/songwriter, Wayna has a voice as pure as it is passionate. Stevie Wonder says "she's incredible." Essence Magazine says she is “one to watch," and Billboard Magazine calls her "a stand out on the indie front." With two Billboard chart-topping singles from her sophomore LP, Higher Ground, and a coveted Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance Category for her remake, “Lovin You (Music)" featuring Kokayi, Wayna's star is on the rise.  "The Expats" is the third and latest LP from this innovative artist and represents a new and daring departure from her previous work. The project is named after its Toronto-based backing band and production team hailing from various parts of the world -- Ethiopia to Japan, Isreal to India, Germany to Jamaica. Drawing from diverse musical influences, Wayna and the Expats create a unique blend of African and Reggae-inspired soul, fused with classic and alternative rock -- Sade and the Police meets Lauryn Hill and Radiohead. This new sound, which Wayna calls “world soul” was the result of a creative journey, jamming, writing and recording with “the Expats” in Toronto over the past 2 years.  The Expats is available on ITunes and Amazon now.

Ethiopian-born, singer/songwriter Wayna possesses a voice that is as sweet and pure as it is honest and passionate. This young talent’s love for music started as a child, when she starred in theater productions like “Annie,” and “Damn Yankees” and toured with a children’s musical review company. Wayna went on to hone her vocal talents as a young adult by absorbing the works of her favorite artists, including Minnie Riperton, Billie Holiday, Stevie Wonder, and Donny Hathaway. While in college, Wayna was crowned Miss Black Unity of the University of Maryland in 1995, earning a one year tuition scholarship. After earning a Bachelor’s degree with a double major in English and Speech Communication from the University of Maryland, Wayna began her professional career as a Writer in the White House for the Clinton administration. She’s also served as a featured vocalist and writer on a number of independent projects for artists, including W. Ellington Felton, Kenn Starr, Kev Brown, Cy Young, and Tamara Wellons.  Wayna received a Grammy nomination in the "Best Urban/Alternative Performance" Category in 2009, for her remake, "Lovin You" featuring Kokayi. "The Expats" is the third and latest LP from this innovative artist and represents a new and daring departure from her previous work. The project is named after its Toronto-based backing band and production team hailing from various parts of the world -- Ethiopia to Japan, Isreal to India, Germany to Jamaica.

This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of November 17, 2009 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary. Our commentary this week focused on the terrible situation with the death of 5 year old Shaniya Davis in North Carolina, Sammy Sosa's obvious issues with skin color (SMH at the bleaching scenario saying it was a "skin softening treatment") and how that reflects on the ingrained "if you're Black, get back" physical mentality along with some other things here and there. We had another great interview this week with author, businessman & activist Professor Devin Robinson (http://www.DevinRobinson.com) of Going Against The Grain Group (http://www.IAmGoingAgainstTheGrain.com), Taking it Black University (http://www.TakingItBackBlack.com) and The Black Hair Project. We touched base on the current 1 week national U.S. boycott of non-Black owned Beauty Supply stores and how that ties into what Prof. Robinson calls a constant "economic hate crime" that occurs all over the United States to the Black Community in regards to the road blocks in establishing one's own businesses in comparison to other ethnic groups, the exchange of money within the community and other things here and there! There are new episodes of Black Agenda Report and Direct EFX segments this week.
