Send us a textUli Bella from Ozomatli stops by the show to discuss the 30 Revolutions Nationwide Tour, the LA raids, mental health, being a caregiver, Richard Simmons and more.  ****If the city of Los Angeles had a soundtrack, it would be Ozomatli. Since their formation in 1995, the six-piece, multi-genre band has been a cultural force, blending Latin, hip-hop, funk, reggae, and global influences into an unmistakable sound that embodies the energy and diversity of LA. In 2025, Ozomatli celebrates an incredible milestone: 30 years of bringing their dynamic, genre-defying music to audiences around the world.To mark the occasion, Summer 2025 kicks off their 30 Revolutions Nationwide Tour, a celebration of three decades of music, community, and culture.Emerging from the politically charged streets of Los Angeles, Ozomatli's origins are steeped in activism and a desire to unite communities through music. This ethos has carried the band across three decades, earning them a dedicated global following and accolades that include three GRAMMY® Awards, iconic performances at the Hollywood Bowl, a TED Talk, and countless shows worldwide. From high-profile TV appearances on The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Austin City Limits to groundbreaking tours in places like Burma and Mongolia, Ozomatli's music and message transcend borders, languages, and cultures.The ensemble's six founding members—Asdru Sierra (vocals, trumpet), Raul Pacheco (vocals, guitars), Uli Bella (saxophone, vocals), Wil-Dog Abers (bass), Jiro Yamaguchi (percussion), and Justin Poree (vocals, percussion)—have remained true to their mantra: "We take you around the world through the heartbeat of Los Angeles." Their music is a vibrant collision of styles, drawing from salsa, dancehall, cumbia, samba, funk, merengue, New Orleans second line, Jamaican ragga, and Indian raga. This eclecticism is at the heart of their sound, resonating with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.Ozomatli's legacy extends far beyond their music. Known for their tireless community involvement, the band has used their platform to amplify causes that matter, from immigrant rights to education and beyond. Their ability to combine socially conscious lyrics with infectious grooves has made them a beacon of unity and resilience, a band that celebrates life while addressing the struggles that connect us all.Their 30th anniversary is not just a celebration of longevity but also a testament to their enduring relevance and innovation. With a career that began with their groundbreaking 1998 self-titled debut, they continue to evolve and inspire. Whether performing new material or beloved classics, Ozomatli's live shows remain a jubilant experience, igniting dance floors and uniting communities.As they embark on their fourth decade, Ozomatli stands as a symbol of Los Angeles' past, present, and future—a band whose music is as multifaceted and vibrant as the city they call home. Here's to 30 years of Ozomatli, and the next chapter in their global musical journey.****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Geechi Taylor—musician, educator, and Artistic Director & President of the Young Musicians Choral Orchestra—for a deeply moving and honest conversation about music, mentorship, and the meaning of community.From New York to Berkeley, CA, to sharing stages with Wynton Marsalis and Lauryn Hill, Geechi takes us through the twists and turns of a life shaped by rhythm, resilience, and real love. He shares how a trumpet in middle school opened doors to the world, how rejection fueled his growth, and how a circle of fierce mentors—including his single dad—taught him to lead with heart.But this episode is more than a musical journey—it's a story about showing up for the next generation. Geechi opens up about the joys and heartbreak of guiding young people through a world of distractions, inequity, and untapped brilliance. From teaching rehearsals in a laundry room to saving a student from street life, his commitment runs deep. He also shares how losing his wife shifted his perspective, and how self-care for him sometimes looks like unplugging, breathing in the sun, and walking without headphones.Whether you're an artist, parent, educator, or someone just trying to find your way, this conversation is a reminder of what's possible when we listen, love, and act with intention.

Sigillgravören och handelsmannen Aaron Isaac (1730–1816) var den förste jude som beviljades permanent uppehållstillstånd i Sverige utan krav på konvertering. Han anlände till Stockholm 1774, och redan året därpå fick han och två andra judar personligt tillstånd av kung Gustav III att bosätta sig i landet utan att överge sin tro.Isaac åtnjöt kungens förtroende och banade väg för en organiserad judisk närvaro i Sverige. Han grundade den första judiska församlingen i Stockholm och fick stort inflytande över judarnas situation i landet.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Carl Henrik Carlsson, författare till boken Aaron Isaac – Sveriges förste jude, om hur en målmedveten invandrare lade grunden för en hel minoritet – och hur synen på judar förändrades genom århundradena.Aaron Isaac föddes den 16 september 1730 i den lilla tyska staden Treuenbrietzen, där judar levde på samhällets rand och endast med särskilda tillstånd. Redan i unga år visade han konstnärlig och hantverksmässig talang, särskilt inom gravyr – ett yrke han lärde sig på egen hand. Men framtidsutsikterna i hemlandet var begränsade.I Mecklenburg byggde han upp en framgångsrik verksamhet och blev nyfiken på Sverige efter affärer med svenska officerare under det pommerska kriget. När han senare fick ekonomiska bekymmer begav han sig motvilligt till Sverige – trots avrådan från sina närmaste. En midsommardag 1774 steg en envis och målmedveten Isaac i land i Ystad, med sig hade han gravyrverktyg, ett rekommendationsbrev – och en vilja att leva som jude i Sverige.Med stöd från svenska ämbetsmän och tack vare sina unika färdigheter – sigillgravyr var högt eftertraktat – lyckades han efter en lång process få ett unikt tillstånd att bosätta sig i Stockholm utan att konvertera. Det var första gången som den svenska staten accepterade en jude som medborgare utan religiös konversion.Gustav III:s beslut speglade upplysningstidens idéer och påverkades av nationalekonomer som såg judisk invandring som ett sätt att stärka ekonomin. Trots kungens stöd mötte Isaac motstånd från präster och köpmän – något han vittnar om i sina memoarer.År 1782 formaliserades statens hållning i Judereglementet, ett toleransedikt som tillät judar att bo i Stockholm, Göteborg och Norrköping utan att konvertera. Men lagtexten begränsade samtidigt deras rättigheter: inga offentliga ämbeten, inga blandäktenskap, ingen mission, och kraftigt reglerad rörelsefrihet.Aaron Isaac grundade Stockholms första judiska församling, tog emot nya invandrare, organiserade gudstjänster och anlade en judisk begravningsplats. Som hovagent och arméleverantör blev han en bro mellan minoriteten och makten.Bild: Aaron Isaac var Sveriges första öppet levande jude, porträtterad av okänd konstnär. En affärsman, sigillgravör och visionär som år 1775 blev den förste att få tillstånd att bosätta sig i Sverige utan att överge sin tro. Hans insatser låg till grund för etableringen av Sveriges första judiska församling. Bild: Judiska museet (CC BY)Musik: Abe Schwartz's Orchestra.

SynopsisOne way composers help make ends meet is to accept commissions for occasional pieces — works written for some special occasion, a private or public celebration or anniversary of some event, large or small. Sometimes these works go on to have a life of their own apart from the special occasion that prompted their creation, so that subsequent audiences might not even be aware of the original event at all.In 1959, English composer Benjamin Britten accepted a commission from Swiss conductor Paul Sacher for a cantata to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the University of Basel in Switzerland. The texts selected for the cantata were all in Latin, the old academic language of universities 500 years ago, and included excerpts from the founding charter of the institution as well as medieval odes in praise of the university written by its students and faculty.Britten's score, which premiered at the University of Basel on today's date in 1960, was quite literally, an academic exercise — and it's amusing to note that apparently he wrote out the text for the work in the pages of one of his old school exercise books.Music Played in Today's ProgramBenjamin Britten (1913-1976): Cantata Academica (Carmen Basiliense); Jennifere Vyvyan, soprano; Helen Watts, mezzo-soprano; Peter Pears, tenor; Owen Brannigan, bass; London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra; George Malcolm, conductor; Decca 4251532

Pianist Yuja Wang is a phenomena in our time. A remarkable artist who is young enough in mind to make shockingly original music on stage, while being experienced enough to navigate the sometimes cut throat world of the classical music industry.  Between the bars host Yannick Dondelinger joins Yuja Wang for a taxi ride to Amsterdam, and an especially informal chat about the genius of Rachmaninov, the joy of China's cuisine, living in the USA, religion, the privacy of Bachs music, performing with the late and great Claudio Abbado, and many many more topics….. enjoy the ride.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott. This week, we're stepping off the corporate stage and into the orchestra pit — to explore what business leaders can learn from the world of classical music. Our guest is Roit Feldenkreis, international orchestra conductor and CEO of BHZ Group, who's spent years translating the unspoken power of presence, body language and tempo into boardroom leadership. In this episode, Roit shares how conducting teams — musical or managerial — starts with how you show up. This is a conversation about non-verbal leadership, team dynamics, and what it really means to trust the people around you — especially when you're not the one holding the mic.

As we shift gears to prepare for the upcoming season, Artistic Director Jonathan Stafford and Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan take a moment to reflect on our just-concluded 76th year, from two strikingly unique and unforgettable world premieres—from Resident Choreographer Justin Peck and Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky—to the return of cherished repertory works, the invaluable presence of coaches Suzanne Farrell and Merrill Ashley in the rehearsal studios, and much, much more. They celebrate the freedom and boldness the company displayed in notable debuts, well-earned promotions, and bittersweet retirements, and look forward to the new works and multi-faceted performances on the horizon.

In the world of arts administration, few careers can rival the breadth and impact of Deborah Rutter's. Her journey began with an early role working under the legendary Ernest Fleischmann at the Los Angeles Philharmonic and evolved into a series of leadership positions at some of the most prominent institutions in the United States. She has served as executive director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Seattle Symphony, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and, most recently, as president of the Kennedy Center. Her influence has reached far beyond the walls of any one organization, shaping the national conversation around the arts and the role of cultural institutions in American life.In Part 1 of our conversation, Deborah reflects on her lifelong connection to music, which began in the third grade when she picked up the violin. We follow her path through her youth, her studies at Stanford, and a formative year in Vienna. She shares insights from her early years at the Los Angeles Philharmonic and walks us through her progression into major leadership roles across the country. Along the way, we explore what it takes to guide large arts organizations—everything from working with music directors and guest artists to day-to-day responsibilities, strategic planning, and the ongoing challenges of funding and development.[Subscriber Content] In Part 2, we turn our focus to Deborah's time at the Kennedy Center. She discusses the complexities of overseeing high-profile initiatives like the Kennedy Center Honors, leading the institution through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic (during which she took a 95% pay cut), launching the REACH expansion program, and bringing hip-hop into the Center's programming. We also touch on the events of February 2025, when she was dismissed from her role by President Donald Trump, and hear her candid reflections on the future of the Kennedy Center. We close with a powerful quote that captures the heart of her life's work: “Quite simply, the artist holds a mirror to who we are as a people and nation and compels us to be better.”DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.
