Podcast appearances and mentions of Umar Bin Hassan

Eind maart gaat het toneelstuk 'The Last Poet' in première van regisseur Nita Kersten bij Toneelschuurproducties. Kersten kreeg de vraag hoe zij het repertoire van de Toneelschuurproducties kon gaan uitbreiden, van de klassiekers naar verhalen van nu. Kersten kwam toen al meteen met het idee om het verhaal van The Last Poets te bewerken naar een toneelstuk. In Niet Thuis Magazine vertelt ze over hoe de reis naar New York en het boek van Christine Otten voor haar en de schrijver Maxine Palit de Jongh van het stuk de basis vormden voor het verhaal van Umar Bin Hassan, 1 van de dichters.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Saint Disruption over Zoom video! Saint Disruption - the spirit-driven musical collective led by John Medeski and Jeff Firewalker Schmitt - have released their new single “Instant Gratification,” a probing account of the dark underbelly of consumerism in the age of the internet. “Inspired by the landmark historical account of mass media and consumer culture ‘All Consuming Images,’ this is my exploration of what I believe to be the darkest dimension of consumer culture,” says Schmitt. “The reduction of all that is sacred to the profane for the purpose of profit.” “Instant Gratification,” which features vocals from Asheville, NC-based artists Kimi Leger and Datrian Johnson, comes from Saint Disruption’s debut album ‘Rose In The Oblivion,’ out April 8th. ‘Rose In The Oblivion’ “holds up a mirror to the darkness, because everything that lives is born in the darkness,” says Schmitt. “In the face of adversity and struggle, the rose is an emblem of hope.” ‘Rose In The Oblivion’ features contributions from a talented and diverse cast of musicians, including Lyric Jones and Last Poets founder Umar Bin Hassan. Other members of the Saint Disruption universe include GRAMMY winners Agent 23 and Debrissa McKinney, Datrian Johnson, multi-instrumentalist and producer Michael Hynes, and Austn Haynes of Free Radio.

It's an honor to welcome to The Soul Brother Show one of the Godfathers of Rap, Umar bin Hassan of the Last Poets.

The Last Poets are a groundbreaking collective with a sound that merges spoken word with jazz and hip hop. They came on the scene in the late sixties with a message of unity, social justice, and empowerment. Their message included frank lyrics about all that was wrong with their world and all that could be done to make it better. They're the godfather's of hip hop Two of the groups original members Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan have a new album out called Transcending Toxic Times. It fuses spoken word with jazz rhythms and hip hop. It's wonderful.

This week we are honored to be joined by Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan of The Last Poets. Their music combined beats and rhymes well before what we now know as hip-hop existed and they have amazing stories to share about the 60’s, their fellow proto-rap pioneers, and how to use jail time to improve your life. This one is a must-listen for everyone, not just hip-hop heads, to soak up the wisdom of two very special gentlemen.

The Last Poets are considered to be The Godfathers of hip-hop, bringing poetry onto the turbulent scene in the 1960's. For over 50 years they have persevered, keeping their intent and their mission alive as they seek to enlighten all people about racism, social justice, and personal growth through poetry and music. Earlier this year, Umar Bin Hassan, Abiodun Oyewole, and Baba Donn Babatunde gathered at the Ropeadope Room at the invitation of renowned bassist and producer Jamaaladeen Tacuma. It was there that they listened for the first time to the full album that they had worked on for years. It was an emotional and historic moment, all recorded on camera as part of the 21Soul video series. Shortly afterward, we reached out to each of The Last Poets to record a podcast series to share with the world more about these unique and powerful men.

The Last Poets discuss why they're still performing after 50 years. The Last Poets were borne out of the origins of the civil rights movement in the United States. They have been writing and performing together in various formations ever since the late 1960s. Abiodon Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan reveal the motivation behind the collective's work and why they feel they're message about black empowerment is as relevant today as it was in 1968. Recorded at the Shambala Festival. Producer: Peter Snowdon.

MEET THE POETS WHO CHANGED AMERICA The Last Poets were formed in the US in the late 1960s, a period full of hope and a time when the Black Panthers were at the height of their power. Their performance poetry has influenced generations of musicians, securing them the title of ‘the founding fathers of hip-hop’. Coming from New York to Scotland for the first time, The Last Poets - Umar Bin Hassan, Abiodun Oyewole and Baba Donn Babatunde - discuss their incredible lives with their friend and author Christine Otten, whose book is based on their story. Part of our Babble On - Spoken Word series of events.

With their politically charged raps, taut rhythms, and dedication to raising African-American consciousness, the Last Poets almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for the emergence of hip-hop. On May 19, 1968, at a celebration of Malcolm X’s birthday at Mount Morris Park in Harlem, they officially formed the Last Poets, deriving their name from a poem titled A Walk In The Sun, by South African poet Keopetse Kgostilie. B-Side is delighted to welcome Abiodun Oyewole, Umar Bin Hassan, and percussionist Baba Donn Babatunde into the studio for a night of poetry, rhythms, and conversation. •••• The B-Side Podcast is produced by Charlie Hoxie, Kecia Cole, Ro Johnson and Sachar Mathias; recorded by Onel Mulet; and edited by Khyriel Palmer and Emily Boghossian.
