La Bulería es una parte muy importante del Flamenco. Es algo que Pitingo, un genio de la música, hace desde muy joven, y de una manera muy original logró crear un estilo propio sin dejar sus raíces. Pitingo es un auténtico gitano nacido en Ayamonte, Huelva. Conocí a éste artista español hace más de ocho años, y siempre me ha fascinado como logra de una manera impecable, fusionar el flamenco con el soul en algo que él llama “Soulería”.Esta es su historia.https://www.instagram.com/pitingo/https://www.instagram.com/humbertoelgato/https://www.instagram.com/gatomediainc/https://www.instagram.com/revolucionnetwork/
La agrupación Fugees lanzó en 1996 su álbum “The score” con el cual se anotó un éxito mundial en las listas de Hip Hop con la canción “Killing me softly”. El tema musical del grupo Fugees en una nueva versión de la canción que alcanzó el número 1 de los listados de Rhythm and Blues y Soul en 1973, interpretada por la artista estadounidense Roberta Flack, quien la grabó bajo el título “Killing me softly with his song” (Matándome suavemente con su canción). Así la escuché yo… Aunque Roberta Flack logró el éxito con su versión y la puso en el panorama mundial, la canción original fue grabada por la artista estadounidense Lori Lieberman, quien la presentó en su álbum homónimo en 1972, composición de Charles Fox y Norman Gimbel, quienes la escribieron con el título “Killing me softly with his song”. A través de los años se han realizado diferentes versiones de esta canción como la grabada por la legendaria cantante cubana Omara Portuondo para el proyecto musical “Rhythms del mundo” del año 2006 con el título “Killing me softly”. Particularmente me gusta la versión que realizó el artista español de música flamenca conocido artísticamente como Pitingo, quien la grabó con el nombre “Killing me softly with his song”. ¿Y tú, conocías el origen de esta canción?

At the inaugural Souler Symposium, and in front of a live audience at the Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana, we tackle a crucial topic: the evolution of social media, and where it's headed -- from the authenticity of influencer marketing to the future of brands. George Manley (CEO/Co-Founder for Souler) leads a discussion with the dynamic duo of Natalie Zfat (contributing writer to several major business publications, and an influencer authority in the social media marketing space -- @nataliezfat) and Jeff Bullas (named the number one business blogger in the world as well as a serial entrepreneur and an investor -- @jeffbullas). Plus, the audience members themselves from the Souler community have something to say as well. Presented by Souler.
For Actor, Model, Director, and Photographer Jonathan Morgan, the word influencer (and he has influence to the tune of for than 66,000 Instagram followers) isn’t his identity. He prefers to think of himself as an inspirer. And Jon ’s balance of modeling and promotion has allowed him to pick the brands to work with that are authentic to who he is, and paved the way to an organic audience that responds to his content. Jon shares his story with George Manley (CEO/Co-Founder for Souler) in the MouthMedia Network studios, covering Jon’s start in print modeling; tricky ways one has to benchmark the success of an influencer; the importance of a health relationship between influencer and brand in order for the promotion to be effective; standing up for your personal brand and content, and knowing when to say no to a deal; and, what it means to be a career model versus being an influencer, and the grind it takes to be a professional model in 2019. Presented by Souler.
A lifelong dream to become a hairstylist leads to a decision to go to culinary school. Then, fashion school. Then lifestyle blogging. And ultimately, influencing.

Batsheva shares her story with George Manley (CEO/Co-Founder for Souler) in the MouthMedia Network studios, covering why research is such an important factor if you want to take your blogging seriously; the importance of keeping content fresh and to keep your audience engaged; working with brands on your own terms, so that the engagement between your audience and sponsored content doesn’t feel contrived; why it takes a roughly five year grind to build your brand as a influencer into a career you can live off of; and how Batsheva’s religion and cultural background affects how she approaches her blog and personal branding. Presented by Souler.
For Aissata Diallo, modeling was never a part of the plan. It was medical school, for this Guinea-born American immigrant. Yet when she was discovered through Instagram and went viral in a short period of time, everything changed. Ultimately, modeling would be what leads her to help her country’s troubled healthcare system. Aissata shares her story with George Manley (CEO/Co-Founder for Souler) in the MouthMedia Network studios, covering her challenges navigating how to approach brands; the common misconceptions and prejudices laid against the Muslim community; why consistency and regular activity are key to building a following and a brand; and, the importance of keeping a finger on the pulse of what’s getting a reaction.
