SUMMARY:Red Reels Presents: La Salsa Cubana
DESCRIPTION:La Salsa Cubana: Film Screening\, Q&A\, Dance Lesson & Dance Party \nThe Red Poppy’s interdisciplinary film series\, Red Reels\, presents a screening of the exuberant dance documentary\, La Salsa Cubana. The evening will also include a Q&A with the film’s Director Eric Joseph Johnson\, a dance lesson taught by Sidney Weaverling and Ryan Mead of ODC Dance\, followed by a salsa dance party! \nStep into a world filled with vibrant dancing\, fascinating relationships\, terrific music\, and sumptuous Cuban imagery shot on location in Havana. With a soundtrack that features music from some of Cuba’s all-time greatest musical legends\, licensed from the state-run music company catalogs of EGREM and BIS Music\, this film is an insider’s look into the contemporary salsa dance scene in Havana rarely seen outside of Cuba. La Salsa Cubana is the first feature film to explore and explain Cuba’s de facto national dance\, known as “casino” or Cuban salsa\, since it appeared in Havana social clubs during the 1950s. \nIn 2003\, Director Eric Joseph Johnson quit his corporate job to study dance and live in Cuba. Director Sarita Streng initiated the film project and the filmmakers obtained a rare license from the US Department of Treasury as well as journalistic visas from the Cuban government allowing a crew to travel to Cuba to make the film. The filmmakers have spent extensive time in Cuba cultivating connections and building the inside knowledge of Cuban culture that made this film possible. \n \nSidney Weaverling has been teaching Cuban dance since 1996\, and Ryan Mead began teaching in 2005. In 2007 they created Rueda Con Ritmo\, a dance school and performing group dedicated to spreading the joy of Cuban dance and music. To date they have taught and performed across the United States\, and internationally in Cuba\, Mexico\, Canada\, and New Zealand. Learn more about them at RuedaConRitmo.com catch their classes on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons at the ODC Dance Commons in the Mission on Shotwell Street\, and Monday evenings at In The Groove on Grand Avenue in Oakland. \nRed Reels films highlight the work of local and emerging filmmakers and expose audiences to diverse global traditions. Screenings explore a unique interdisciplinary approach by incorporating real-time collaborations with artists from varying mediums like dance\, painting\, and live music. \nJoin the La Salsa Cubana community on Facebook here \nAdmission: $10-20. Doors at 7:00 Show at 7:30. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event. Please arrive at the Red Poppy when doors open to purchase tickets. \n

SUMMARY:Patchy Sanders
DESCRIPTION:7-Piece Neo-Folk Revival Orchestra \nPatchy Sanders is a 7-piece folk orchestra which goes beyond categorization. Some have hesitantly distinguished their sound as alternative\, noir-grass\, or perhaps neo-folk. Either way\, this tight-knit group of extremely talented musicians take pride in their ability to pursue the broader folk revival in order to produce a new\, but familiar sound. Guided by famed producer Sylvia Massey\, Patchy Sander’s debut album is titled “& The Wild Peach Forest” and has been an immediate hit since its release. The record breathes with true acoustic instrumentation from the traditional banjo\, guitar\, and mandolin\, to more mystical instruments like harp\, pedal organ\, and nyckel harpa. These instruments provide a masterful foundation to the strong lyrical and vocal essence which characterizes Patchy Sanders’ versatility. \n  \n“Great musicianship\, harmonies and feel. A really warm vibe that makes wherever you are standing feel like the center of a gypsy caravan.” –Mason Jennings \n  \nDani Aubert– Banjo\, Harp\, Bouzouki\, Vocals\nJacqueline Aubert– Vocals\nEric Jones– Upright Bass\, Vocals\nDan Sherrill- Guitar\, Mandolin\, Banjo\, Vocals\nIan Van Ornum– Mandolin\, Guitar\, Bouzouki\, Vocals\nSara Wilbur– Violin\, Viola\, Vocals\nTBD- Drums and Percussion \npatchysanders.com\nfacebook.com/PatchySanders \nAdmission: $10-15. Doors at 7:00 Show at 7:30. \nTickets will not be sold in advance for this event. Please arrive at the Red Poppy when doors open to purchase tickets.

SUMMARY:Somi: The Lagos Salon Tour; Sept 19-20\, Two Evenings\, Four Shows
DESCRIPTION:Intimate Songs from a Lagos Sojourn \nThe Red Poppy Art House is very excited to announce a special two-night\, four show engagement with critically-acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Somi.  These two evenings of music are part of  the artist’s Salon Tour\, promoting the release of her lastest album\, The Lagos Music Salon. \nIn late 2011\, acclaimed East African vocalist & songwriter Somi decided to move from New York City to Lagos\, Nigeria for 18 months in search of new inspiration. The result: a new album she calls The Lagos Music Salon released summer 2014 as her major label debut on Sony Music/Okeh. The album which features special guests Angelique Kidjo and Common draws it material from the tropical city’s boastful cosmopolitanism\, urgent inspiration\, and giant spirit – straddling the worlds of African jazz\, soul\, and pop with a newfound ease and a voice that Vogue Magazine simply calls “Superb!” \n“A New High Priestess of Soul!” – The Huffington Post \nPraised for both her musical and scholarly achievements\, Somi has made a powerful impression on audiences internationally.  Musically\, she draws inspiration from many lands\, but her connection to Africa is at the heart of her creative expression.  She weaves together velvety\, African-tinged jazz textures\, soul-driven vocal styling\, and compassionate\, socially conscious lyrics.  Somi has been compared to her venerable vocal “fore-mothers” Miriam Makeba and Nina Simone\, both of whom strived for a music-making tradition of entertaining listeners and mobilizing the collective social conscience. Her work honors the tradition of African narratives told through song\, and attempts to shed light on the modern African experience by telling the stories of individuals she encounters as well as her own experience of being an African woman. In addition to singing and writing songs\, Somi is a TED Fellow\, an inaugural Association of Performing Arts Presenters Fellow\, a 2013 Park Avenue Armory Artist-in-Residence\, and the founder of New Africa Live\, a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating  ​ contemporary African artists working in the performance\, visual\, and literary arts. \nThe Lagos Music Salon is an ode to the Nigerian metropolis\, where she spent an 18-month creative sabbatical in 2011\,  absorbing the city’s expansive urbanism\, cultural power\, and enormous spirit.  This very personal album is the accumulation of months of writing songs in response to her experiences of the unique social climate of Lagos\, collaborating with local musicians\, and previewing her works-in-progress before small audiences.  In particular\, the Salon Tour is devoted to the idea of encouraging greater artist-to-audience engagement and closer connection to the music by performing intimate concerts reminiscent fo the shows she played while in Lagos.  The Red Poppy Art House has long strived to provide this kind of experience for musicians near and far\, and is very honored to have the opportunity to be graced by her talents. \nSomi – voice\nLiberty Ellman – guitar\nToru Dodo – piano\nBen Williams – bass\nOtis Brown III – drums\nCheck out Somi’s website here and a preview of her new album!\n Also\, please join the official Facebook event here\, and invite all your friends! \nPlease choose from one of the following performances to attend*: \nFriday Sept 19\, 2014: Doors open at 6:30pm.
