Americanto

Cancionerio de las Américas - The Songbook of the Americas
Dates for presentations throughout 2025 coming soon!

 

In 1974, before Bernardo Palombo founded El Taller Latino Americano, he created the record label Americanto to present the recordings of proponents La Nueva Canción including Silvio Rodriguez (Cuba), Victor Jara (Chile), Grupo Wara (Bolivia), his compositions with Damián Sanchez (Argentina). Palombo’s experience as a performer and producer became the bedrock for El Taller’s 45 year history as a presenter of world music and The Songbook of the Americas.

This program brings artists from a variety of traditions together to discuss the significance of “el canto” from the perspective of regional traditions and modern world-views. Professional recordings from each artist’s home will accompany dialogue. We envision this to be a conversation from an authentic shared space formed among talented artists and thinkers.

Brian Groder – trumpet & fluegelhorn


Michael TA Thompson – trap drums

ABOUT:

tilting curvaceous, from patrick brennan s0nic 0penings is stylistically varied, expansive, expressive, and always engaging. The music pulls from classic free and avant-garde jazz history while digging liberally into further afield rhythmic motives and ideas, resulting in an absolutely delightful and engrossing album. Complimenting brennan’ alto sax is trumpeter Brian Groder whose works are always melodic and probing. Add Rod Williams, whose approach to the piano provides a solid foundation and jolts of energy at opportune moments. Drummer Michael TA Thompson and bassist Hilliard Greene add absolutely essential rhythmic drive and sensitivity.  
- Paul Acquaro, The Free Jazz Collective

A disc of extraordinary group focus and playing equally inventive and concise, giving the impression that every single note is inevitable in its incisiveness. It sizzles with excitement, earthy exuberance amidst the rhythmically arhythmic drive toward a goal simultaneously clear and elusive.
- Marc Medwin, Point of Departure

Marc "Ali" Edmonds - Soul Artist

Reception for the works : Saturday, April 1, 2023 - 3:00 PM 5:00 PM

This exhibition features 28 of the artist's works, ranging from 1974 to 1994.

ALI became a respected subway artist well before the advent of “wildstyle” graffiti art. His works often contained a humorous political message, a trend which led to his establishing and publishing the comic-oriented “Zoo York Magazine” in the early 1980s.

Edmonds’ work stands as an important example of the creative heritage of the Manhattan Valley in both its urbanism and diversity. The work shows the humor, political awareness, and the dreams of a burgeoning artist at a time when creativity was finding new and exciting mediums of expression.

Don't miss your opportunity to view some of his groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind artwork- on display now at the Anibal Aviles Playground at 108th street between Morningside Drive and Amsterdam Ave. Only a few more weeks to see it- now through June 28th!

Bilbo Baggins and Gollum duel at riddlepoint. One, fights for his food. The other one, for his life. For every riddle, one song, in a participatory concert where the public is part of the band.

Tonight we'll hear the echoes

Between verses, blows and strikes Though a bit clumsy they may sound About a witty fight of fellows.

We'll mix, toss and combine The fear, the threat and the mind And if Bilbo doesn't guess, He'll be for dinner served At the creepy Gollum's cave
