**Content Warning: discussion of sexual assault and cult violence** In the last days of 2020, we got up early, brewed some coffee, and sat down (er, Zoomed) with Maya Azucena, singer-songwriter and cultural ambassador, who has been riding out the pandemic in Turkey. Maya’s inspiring, infectious -- and highly danceable -- music has taken her on a worldwide outreach journey, and we hope you enjoy coming along for the ride as much as we did. We talk about the power of personal storytelling to connect across differences, how to have a global artistic career, and what it really means to be fearless. Afterwards, you can hear Emily and Sarah discuss their respective hair journeys and then switch to the much lighter topic of the riot at the Capitol. If you feel the analysis of last Wednesday’s events has lacked certain insights, as well as fashion critique and a (hopefully mostly accurate) summary of what happened at Jonestown as it relates to the ongoing Q phenomenon (and cults in general), have we got the commentary for you.

CD, Cry Love | 07 Aug 2012What's Your Sign? I Have Your Number! If you have not heard the ever-delicious and delightfully soulful sounds of Singer Maya Azucena yet, this was an hour you will definitely want to listen back to!Sharita was absolutely honored to have Maya join her for this show that explored from above, just why Maya is here in this incarnation bringing healing, light and joy to the entire globe through her innovative and spirit-stirring music down here below. The planets above indeed do declare she is an original and stellar Star that you will continue to watch shine like the sun with an everlasting love upon this EARTH; for everything beyond her music equally and truly comes from Maya's HEART.As we discussed Maya's birth name through it's name expression and Lexigrams   -the poetic phrasing of the anagrams that can be derived from within it- we find one more validation of how a person's story in life is also all within a name.MAYA AZUCENA NEWTON    MY MY MY, MAYA A WOMAN TO EMANATE ONE UNCANNY WAY TO ANNOUNCE AN AMAZE MAYA MEANT TO OWN MANY TUNE, NOTE & TONEMAYA MEANT TO OWN MANY AMOUNT O’ TON O’ MONEY NOTE & TONE. MAYA A MANY TUNE MONEY ANTENNAMAYA MEANT TO AMAZE ANYONE TO A MEATY NOTE & TONE ZONEMAYA MEANT TO AMAZE MANY A WOMAN MANNAMAYA ON MANY A WOMEN TO WOMEN TEAM TO AMAZE; ON MANY A TEAM TO AMAZEMAYA CAME ON A COMET WAY TO AMAZE ANYONEONCE MAYA ANNOUNCE AN OWN, MAYA NOW WON ANY MOMENT MAYA WANTWE CAN COUNT ON A MANY MANY WAY MAYA CAME TO AMAZE ANYONEAbout Maya Azucena:Maya Azucena inhabits a musical world of her own creation.  Whether performing before an audience of thousands or writing in solitude, she transcends genres and trends.  Her progressive yet accessible style is shaped by an expansive vision that unites genres. With Maya Azucena, the worlds of hip hop, soul, jazz, reggae, electronica and pop join forces. Like Lauryn Hill, Corinne Bailey Rae, or Gnarls Barkley, she embodies a singular and finely honed artistry through a combination of profound lyrics, soaring melodies, and irresistible rhythms.Cry Love is the artistic statement that Maya Azucena has sought to make since day one. The Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter’s impressive versatility unfolds over ten original compositions plus a dramatic interpretation of “Little Ghetto Boy.”  Executive-produced with her longtime collaborator Christian Ver Halen, and released on her new imprint label, Azucena Songs, Cry Love represents a powerful journey that distills the universal themes of love, survival, and hope into 50 unforgettable minutes.Maya Azucena emerged as a captivating presence on the landscape of popular music following her self-released debut Maya Who?! and the critically acclaimed Junkyard Jewel. Billboard, The Village Voice and The Washington Post have all heralded her mesmerizing performances in the U.S. while her music’s been featured on HBO (The Wire), NBC (30 Rock), and in advertisements for Verizon Wireless and Ford Motors.  Her work with Stephen Marley netted a “Best Reggae Album” Grammy and her vocal contributions to an album by Croatian superstar Gibonni garnered two Porin Awards (the top music award in Croatia).  As both an in-demand concert attraction and a Cultural Ambassador for the U.S., she’s enthralled audiences in places as far-ranging as Honduras, China, Tanzania, Italy, Myanmar, and Slovenia.It is for those listeners and countless more that Maya Azucena has crafted Cry Love.  An anthem for justice, the title track, produced by Pete Miser, is steeped in Maya’s concern for humankind and constitutes the album’s core concept.  Her desire to inspire, empower, and embolden listeners saturates both the edgy groove of “Warriors” and the sanguine sway of “Near,” as well as her gripping duet with distinguished singer/pianist Chris Robon the Donny Hathaway classic, “Little Ghetto Boy.”  Taking a page from Maya’s own life, “The Half” is a harrowing tale propelled by no less a rock legend than guitarist Vernon Reid.  Emerging triumphant from near tragedy, she invites dancehall icon iNi Kamoze aboard for a victory lap on “My Back’s Not Up Against the Wall” while the glistening, acoustic qualities of “Belong to the Sun” furnish another standout cut. The songs are all unified by a remarkable depth and stunning musicality. ®2012[Click Here to Listen]

MTV Made’s Award winning singer-activist Maya Azucena travels the world making music that matters. Appreciated by many artists in the worlds of hip-hop, soul, jazz, dance and reggae, Maya has been part of countless collaborations, including a Grammy certificate winning feature on Stephen Marley’s CD “Mind Control,” and performances or recordings with artists as wide-ranging as Marcus Miller, Cormega, Mr. Cheeks, Roberta Flack, Immortal Technique, iNi Kamoze, Vernon Reid and Jonathan Peters. In 2010, Maya was heard on multiple tracks from the critically acclaimed album Pickin’ Up The Pieces by Fitz and The Tantrums. Her music has been featured on HBO’s The Wire and her likeness on NBC’s 30 Rock. On JAN 14TH Maya Azucena launches, “Dance Revolution”, a song commissioned by One Billion Rising campaign, Produced by DJ Spinna, and music video directed by Rae Maxwell, “Dance Revolution” marks the 1-month countdown to One Billion Rising, a Global Day of Action to End Violence Against Women and Girls. Keith Robinson is a true triple threat having already mastered acting and songwriting, he’s now positioning himself to take over the music world. Before he made his way to Tinseltown, the Kentucky native was offered a record deal with his group State of Mind, but no music was released. Upon traveling to Los Angeles, Robinson had a chance meeting with a film and television manager who jumpstarted his acting career. From there, he thrived and achieved an incredible 42 projects of both television and film while still pursuing a music career--placing songs on many film and television projects he was involved in as a solo artist. Robinson has three films set to release later this year: Caught on Tape, Divorce Invitation and The Redemption of a Dog. The latter stars seasoned actor and reality TV star Tamara Mowry-Housely and screen legend Lynn Whitfield. He is also working on a new music album
