It seems a good time to finally post on a connection that I had made, which may be superficial, but remains an exciting discovery for me to make.

The past couple Sierra Leone parties/events that I've been to, I noticed a fast, double-timed drum music, programmed on synthesizers, that for some reason I've been associating with the Mende, but I can't quite remember why. Always wanting to represent for my own people, and add an African perspective to the electronic global conversation, I've been trying to chase down recordings of this music but haven't been able to find the ones I've hear at the parties. Next time I'm home, I'm going to track it down. Here's a video of a Salone party where they play it at 1:00 minute.

Sierra Leone/Gambia Party

Anyway, back SF Carnaval weekend, I was djing with DJ Rajah at Bollyhood Cafe in SF, and I came out of the bathroom and he was playing a music that sounded just like that Mende music. I ran up to Rajah and asked where he got that! He told me it was from the Dominican Republic, and later he emailed me some tracks. I guess it was GaGa that he was playing?

Well take a listen for yourself. Are you hearing any similarities?

Here's a Dadday Saj video of Mende music

Here's a parade during Semana Santa(?) in Boca Chica

A track from Sierra Leone:

Refugee Allstars-Pat Malonthone

And a Merengue (or Mambo?) track from Republica Dominicana:

Banda Gorda-No Se Acaba el Mambo

I've been hearing similarities in other musics like Mbalax as well. Expect a mix soon! Plus, if any Sierra Leoneans come across this post and know where to get this music let me know!

Funciona assim: você tem que falar alguma coisa com até 140 caracteres - o site pergunta What are you doing? - e essa mensagem será lida por todos que optaram te seguir: amigos, colegas, alheios, fakes...

Vale qualquer coisa. A música que você está ouvindo, indiretas pros colegas do trabalho, da faculdade, o link do vídeo que você está vendo ou a matéria que você está lendo... Falar pras pessoas de um post novo no blog, postar um trecho de conversa do msn... Fora as tags, marcadas com um #. Tipos que é divertido, cadastrem-se lá, nem demora, e depois dá um follow na Sra. Se Mata e na Morango Assassino. E comecem a brincar.

Mas me dei ao trabalho de falar isso tudo pra contar sobre uma das melhores partes do twitter. Os famosos que volta e meia aparecem por lá, fakes ou não, que nos divertem horrores. Olha, se você está aí bundando gostosamente, super recomendo que dê uma lida nos updates dessas pessoas. Nem precisa segui-las para ler o que elas falam, essa é a melhor parte! É mega divertido!!! Se liga só:

Took bus69 to FoodPalace i really MISS foodpalace ! my secondary slack place. Ate Almond Cocktails &Sakinah bought Red Ruby. Slack there for hours in and out the toilet, and saw those people acting in the Opera. Got the shock out of Sakinahh, fancy saying them scary when the toilet is so damn eerie.
Look through each other cell phone inbox. Left at around 6plus after Mum&Dad came to bring me home as they were around that area too. Ate another round of dinner with Mum&Dad, too full to eat such heavy food. End up eating a plate of onion rings.

Well, after all i did really enjoy. Rather than staying at home thinking of that useless scumbag, alright my such harsh word i used all thanks to my moment of pique, the fact is i don't really mean it.
AFTER all, thanks Sakinah for making today such a joyous day (:
hugs. gags.

another moodswing day.
Thanks Sakinah, for being by my side.

STRIKE NEWS/ LABOR ISSUE

• With Hollywood still unnerved about an actors strike, progress has remained elusive as negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild and the majors move into their third week. Neither side has yet made a major move that would signal the start of the give-and-take bargaining that would break the logjam and result in a new feature-primetime deal this week. But some cautious optimism persists that SAG and the AMPTP can still reach an agreement over the next few sessions. The key problem that's emerged is that negotiators have been devoting nearly all their time to slowly hammering out terms in new media -- covering such areas as residual rates for ad-supported streaming, the length of promotional windows under which shows can be streamed without paying residuals and the rate paid for downloads. But that's meant there's been virtually no discussion about SAG's proposals for a boost in DVD residuals - a non-starter for the AMPTP - along with the guild's demand for increased pay rates for middle-income actors. Resolving those demands to SAG's satisfaction may take more than just this week. Following a weekend recess, talks resumed at mid-day Monday at the headquarters of the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers in Encino with no official word as to specifics

TECHNOLOGY/ MULT-PLATFORM CONTEN

• Online video start-ups raised a healthy $461 million in financing in 2007, according DowJones VentureSource data sources by NewTeeVee. That's up from $266.9 million invested in the category in 2006. Look for that benchmark to be surpassed this year as $217.3 million was raised by video start-ups during the first quarter of 2008 alone

• AOL acquired Fantasy Football site FleaFlicker.com for an undisclosed amount, one of the more popular independently owned fantasy sites which powers The Washington Post's fantasy football leagues. Redesigned news, sports and health categories helped AOL grow its unique user base by 15% to 26.5 million visitors in March, according to comScore numbers sources by WSJ

WEBSITES TO WATCH

In an era where music television networks' airtime seems to be filled with more reality shows than music programming, it may seem that the music video is losing relevance. Fortunately, such is not the case, with the online world offering an all access network to an art form that's actually more current than ever. This new site, backed by Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, is positioning itself as the definitive portal for high-definition music videos. While videos are the main focus of the site, each artist's page also pulls media from across the web, including Wikipedia, YouTube, MySpace, and blogs; and naturally, there is also a social network functionality making the site the ultimate fan forum.

The best way to understand Gaga is to experience it - that is, to take a class. And if that's not possible, then it's helpful to attend a performance of Batsheva to understand what Naharin's movement is like. It's difficult to put my experience into writing, mainly because Gaga is a completely sensual experience. There is no technique nor are there steps. Rather, Gaga is about using all of the senses to become aware of your body, and finding joy and pleasure in movement. One of the first things the instructor told me and the other approximately 30 participants - ranging from young children to the elderly - was that we should move continually for the entire hour. Never stop moving, and always be aware of all of your bones and flesh. No part of the body should be numb or dead.

We started standing and creating circles with our arms - in front of our body, around, behind, above, etc. We then made circles with our legs, chests, and hips, until the whole body was making circular movements. Next, we floated, which was a theme that we returned to often throughout the class. As simple as it sounds to imagine your body floating in air, it was quite challenging to do. It involved recognizing the space under your arms, behind your back, and under your feet. The instructor even suggested to think about our organs floating - particularly our heart and eyes. Other movement throughout the class included shaking the hips and then spreading the shaking to the rest of the body; stretching our faces and mouths while making "stretchy" noises with our voices; doing a "silly dance" with a partner that uses high and low levels; and walking with speed and intention while letting the arms and upper body float and be light. The use of imagery fueled my imagination. At one point, the instructor said, "Imagine you're in a cold shower, and you're feeling the water wash over you." I immediately had chills down my spine, and then became aware of the slightest of movements in my back. At other points in the class, she told us to try carving or pushing through space as if it were honey, running in place on very hot coals, and tasting something "nice".

It's important to point out that there were no mirrors in the class, nor are there ever mirrors in any Gaga classes. When Wendy Perron interviewed Naharin in the October 2006 issue of Dance Magazine, he said, "Abolish mirrors; break your mirrors in all studios. They spoil the soul and prevent you from getting in touch with the elements and multidimensional movements and abstract thinking, and knowing where you are at all times without looking at yourself. Dance is about sensations, not about an image of yourself".

These words have really stuck with me since reading them back in 2006, and I couldn't agree more. Since I trained in ballet from a young age, I grew used to being in studios covered with mirrors, but I realize now that I developed a love-hate relationship with them. It was important to look in the mirror to notice correct and incorrect placement and to recognize right from wrong (in ballet technique, there is definitely a right and a wrong). On the other hand, I became too dependent on mirrors to know "where my body was" and to understand the right and wrong way to move, and mirrors caused me (and countless other dancers, I'm sure) to form harsh judgments about my appearance and my dancing. If there were mirrors in a Gaga class, it would be challenging - if not impossible - to truly feel how you're moving, to dance with the senses and a multidimensional movement quality, which are what Gaga is all about. Throughout the Gaga workshop, I felt very alert and aware not only of my body and the way I was moving, but also of my surroundings and the space between and around my bones, muscles, and flesh. I was using my senses in an integrated way that was both calming and invigorating.

I absolutely loved my first Gaga experience, and I left feeling more alert and in touch with my body. Although Gaga classes aren't offered in New York on a regular basis, the instructor mentioned after class that whenever Batsheva company members are in town, they offer classes at a studio in the city. I'm definitely taking Gaga the next time they're here.

3 Canciones que Me Hubiese Gustado Escribir:

- Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots:
Para una banda de San Diego, resultaba muy atractivo sonar como si fuera de Seattle. Pero aún más, conectar con el público de una manera directa con las letras y su sonido bien Grunge. Este tema nos habla de los avatares que surgen de una relación, y el análisis a la distancia de una separación. Cada vez que escucho este tema, al final, me siento como el personaje del video clip.

- High and Dry - Radiohead:
Nada mejor que ver en perspectiva lo pasado, sin ansias de olvido, pero con la fuerza de superarlo. Nunca querremos que el hastío more en nuestra existencia, pero a veces es bueno abrirle la puerta e invitarle a un café, y hacer las paces.

- Juego de Seducción - Soda Stereo:
Es bueno siempre tener en el ´back up´ de la consciencia, algo que nos eleve el espiritu de amar cada día, y hacerlo de una forma salvaje, pero también disfrutar cada momento como si fuera el último, extendiendolo hasta donde nos lo permita la realidad.

3 Canciones para Reflexionar en un carro público, bajando la Av Churchill, un Lunes en la Mañana:

- Across the Universe - Fiona Apple:
Para entender que somos uno con el cosmos.

- Me Tiene Chivo - Bonny Cepeda:
Para analizar cada paso a dar durante un día de labores. En estos tiempos, hay gente tan ´truquera´, que ni cuando duermen son seria.

- Again - Lenny Kravitz:
Para encuadrar cada palabra que vas a decir, cuando ´la veas´ de nuevo.

3 Temas para ´coger vejigazos´ en el Carnaval:

- Baila en La Calle - Fernandito Villalona:
Unos de los himnos indiscutibles por siempre del carnaval dominicano. A 23 años de su grabación, esta canción, aún sigue como el verdadero tema oficial de estas fiestas.

- El Tema de Los Reyes del Carnaval:
Directo desde la Jacuba de Villa Francisca, una combinación de metales, ´baton valet´, y mucho alboroto sonoro.

- Gagá Fun:
Ok, este tema viene un cd pirateado, llamado ´Gagá Haitiano´. Actualmente, tá´ sonando en todas partes, y a la verdad que a cualquiera le dan ganas de pararse y dar par de brinquitos.
