Astral Traveling 24 x Amuleto Manuela – Grupo Folklórico y Experimental Nuevayorquino – Lo Dice Todo
July 29 @ 6:30 PM
We are thrilled to welcome Amuleto Manuela for a summery listening session!
A captivating presence in the Berlin music scene, Amuleto Manuela’s work spans soundscapes, sound sculptures, DJ sets, and collective listening practices. A sonic researcher and curator at @savvycontemporary and host of ‘The Music Shrine’ on @refugeworldwide amongst else, her work is deeply rooted in the act of listening.
For this session, Amuleto Manuela will present the album ‘Lo Dice Todo’ by Grupo Folklórico y Experimental Nuevayorquino, a cornerstone of Latin and experimental music. “I find very interesting and powerful the space of experimentation and all the possibilities that open up there. To break self and outer preconceptions and find ‘new’ spaces, more complex ones. I love from this album and from the work of Grupo Folklórico y Experimental Nuevayorquino, the idea of experimentation with folkloric music from the Caribbean in a space of encounter of many geographies and diasporas of the African World as New York in the 70’s. I love all the spaces in between the music genres they explore as Afro-Cuban, Charanga, Salsa, Jazz, Funk/Soul,” says Amuleto Manuela.
Before we dive into actively listening Lo Dice Todo, Amuleto Manuela will share more of her insights on how this legendary album resonates with her own artistic journey and the themes of diaspora and identity that permeate her projects.
Looking forward to spending this evening with all of you!
