In this special episode of Brown & Black, we sit down with recent Pulitzer Prize-winning, Emmy and Grammy-nominated composer Michael Abels. We take a journey through his life, his passion for music, the challenges he faced as a Black composer in the 1980s, and his latest work on the film "Chevalier," based on the life of Joseph Bologne in the 1800s. We asked him about the barriers he overcame as a Black composer, what sets Joseph Bologne apart from traditional composers, and will classical music has to transform to survive in the era of artificial intelligence.

He started taking piano lessons at the age of four, setting the stage for a remarkable musical journey. Breaking Into The Classical Music Industry: Abels discusses the hurdles he faced in the 1980s when trying to establish himself as a film composer.

The Significance of Joseph Bologne: Abels recalls his discovery of Joseph Bologne, a notable yet often overlooked figure in classical music history. As a groundbreaking composer in 18th-century France, Bologne's influence on the artistic scene is emphasized, underscoring his enduring relevance, particularly to underrepresented audiences. Reclaiming Black Identity Through Music: Abels discusses the musical composition and scoring of the pivotal moment in the film when Bologne reclaims his Black identity and joins the fight for justice. He shares insights into how he fused classical and hip-hop elements to create a song of protest, conveying Bologne's transformation and his willingness to be seen authentically. Helping the Next Generation of Composers of Color: Abels opens up about his involvement as a co-founder of the Composer's Diversity Collective.

In this episode of Brown & Black, Jack and Mike discuss two central topics affecting creators of color – the ongoing negotiations between the WGA (Writer's Guild of America) and Hollywood studios, and the invisible Latino renaissance in America that's receiving little recognition from mainstream legacy media.

They emphasize the significance of acknowledging and celebrating this cultural transformation, especially given the upcoming elections and their implications for people of color. The conversation also delves into the urgent need for more diverse, inclusive, and authentic storytelling in the entertainment industry.

In this episode, we delve into the adverse effects of AI-generated images on media and their growing impact.

Creators of color have built successful careers sharing their stories on TikTok since 2018. Many argue that banning TikTok threatens freedom of expression and connections between people. It also threatens jobs and democracy. In this episode, we discuss the possibility of banning TikTok in the U.S. and how it impacts creators of color. The ban could significantly impact culture, the economy, businesses, and influencers of color. We try to answer why it's happening and how it affects small and medium-sized businesses in communities of color. Segment 1: The Impact of a TikTok Ban on Creators of ColorTikTok has become a popular platform for creators of color to share their stories and connect with audiences worldwide. A ban on TikTok would deprive these creators of a platform and audiences of their work. It would also impact culture, as TikTok shares news and entertainment. Businesses relying on TikTok ads would also be affected. Influencers could lose jobs and be unable to connect with audiences. They have built careers on the platform, and a ban would cut them off from their livelihoods and audiences. Segment 2: The U.S.-China Digital CompetitionThe TikTok ban stems from the U.S.-China competition for digital control. The U.S. worries that TikTok shares user data with China. The U.S. wants to rely less on Chinese tech as China competes globally. Banning TikTok is a way for the U.S. to curb China's influence, but it also harms marginalized groups in the U.S. who have found their voices on the platform. Segment 3: Small Businesses at RiskA ban on TikTok would also impact small and medium-sized businesses, especially in communities of color. TikTok helps them reach customers and generate revenue at a low cost. Banning it reduces their ability to do so, as they may not have the resources to build a following on other platforms. As businesses owned by people of color suffer more in downturns, communities of color are disproportionately affected. They face higher unemployment and poverty rates, and a TikTok ban could exacerbate economic inequalities. Segment 4: The Future of Social CommunicationIf TikTok is banned, will we return to traditional modes of social interaction, such as face-to-face communication? Is this for the best or the worst? This shift may be a positive development, as it could lead to more meaningful and authentic interactions between people. However, it is also possible that this shift could lead to a loss of connection and community. We can use it to build a better world or tear it apart.'Brown & Black' Podcast 2022 Webby Honoree is a new magazine show exploring race and pop culture, hosted by two diverse voices, one Latino and one Black, to fill a void in rethinking how pop culture news and opinion are conveyed in America today.

They bring up the example of the 2016 Oscars, where "Straight Outta Compton" was only nominated for Best Original Screenplay, which was won by their two white writers. Meanwhile, the lead actors and director, all Black, were shut out of the nominations. Hmmm. The guys also discuss the possibility of a Latino equivalent to "Straight Outta Compton," which would showcase the contributions of Latinos to hip hop. The guys examine the contributions of Kid Frost, Mellow Man Ace, and Cypress Hill. Segment 5: Bonus FeaturesIn this segment, the focus is on the movie's bonus features, and two of them stood out. The first one is "Becoming NWA," which offers an intimate and insightful glimpse into the personal and artistic journey of the group. The second one is a featurette by director F.

Comedian, actor, producer George Lopez joins our show to discuss his new Netflix show We'll Do It For Half. In the interview, Jack Rico and Mike Sargent ask Lopez about why he has never worked with Netflix before until now, why Covid-19, George Floyd and Black Lives Matter were not a part of his special, the role and responsibility of comedy and comedians beyond making us laugh, why comedians can make transitions to drama but not dramatic actors to comedy, why America's Mexican has never taken his comedy tour to Mexico City, and his thoughts on if we will ever see a Latino President in the White House. In our news segment, Mike and Jack also converse and debate Goya, the complexity of Hispanic identity, cancel culture, and if the new slate of diverse and inclusive programming is here to stay.

On this first episode of our new series on the future of America's cultural and entertainment industry post covid-19, Mike Sargent and Jack Rico explore what our world will look like after we re-open our cities and communities. To answer that, we first take a look at the history of consumerism and how, like a virus, it has spread its disease in our environment and our American worth. The mission of this podcast is to unite the two most powerful and influential cultural demographics in the United States - Latinx and Black - to fill a colossal void in mainstream journalism. Statistics show there are barely any Black or Latinx food, film, television or music critics who work at major American news institutions. Why? Captive by the perspectives of one dominant culture, two film and culture critics, Jack Rico and Mike Sargent set-off on a quest to let our voices and stories be heard.

Mike Sargent and Jack Rico discuss the pressures to constantly be productive and how it affects minorities the most. The root could be somewhere within the profit machine of America, sports, and how black and Latino athletes are the guinea pigs. Also, AMC theaters vs. Hollywood studios, how are we ultimately affected? Quibi has been having a tough time getting subscriptions. Will it fail? CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg gives his opinion. And Disney has decided to release its $75 million 'Hamilton' film on Disney+ on July 3rd. Will it be a hit or a flop? Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Gina Rodriguez, from ‘Jane The Virgin’ fame, uploaded an Instagram video where she is seen saying the ’N’ word as she was singing along to The Fugees “Ready or Not”. This has caused a social media backlash from the African-community and has also sparked a cultural debate on who is allowed to say the ’N’ word and who isn’t. Shouldn't Latinx say it since many have African blood. Film and culture critic Mike Sargent joins Jack to help discuss.

This week, culture and film critic Mike Sargent joins the show to help us discuss the controversial film JOKER… is it worth the time and money to watch? How violent is it? Is it for everyone? And then we deconstruct this year’s Latin Grammy debacle. Reggaetoneros are up in arms calling classism at the Latin Recording Academy for not nominating them in the major award categories this year. Are they right? Also, after Spaniards Alejandro Sanz and Rosalía received the most amount of  nominations, social media accused them of cultural appropriation. Are Spaniards considered Latinx in America? Mike and Jack discuss it. Music Playlist Te Quiero Ver - Manu Manzo (feat. Feid)  Freak - Vicentico Algo Más - Valdes
