#PortlandME - #JazzAtTheMovies film series
"#WMPG’s Jazz At The Movies team are pleased to present our first film of the 2026 season, the documentary 'Music Pictures: #NewOrleans'.
"Beautifully shot and recorded, the film is a loving portrait of four Crescent City jazz, soul, and blues legends, and a celebration of 100 years of New Orleans musical history.
"Directed by New Orleans native filmmaker #BenChace, 'Music Pictures: New Orleans' is a vibrant documentary exploring the rich musical heritage of New Orleans. It showcases the city’s diverse musical landscape, from legendary #JazzClubs to lively street performances, highlighting the influences of #Creole, #AfricanAmerican, and #French cultures, and how historical events, like #MardiGras and #HurricaneKatrina, have shaped the city’s music scene. Through interviews with local musicians and historians, Music Pictures: New Orleans reveals music’s central role in the city’s cultural and social fabric.
"The film showcases four New Orleans music legends: Grammy-winning #IrmaThomas 'The Soul Queen of New Orleans' ; #BennyJonesSr., the leader and drummer of the world renowned #TremeBrassBand; guitarist #LittleFreddieKing, the 'Last King of the Blues'; and the pianist and educator, #EllisMarsalisJr., patriarch of the famed jazz family, in what would be his last concert before his death. Music Pictures: New Orleans follows each of the four artists, one by one, as they talk about their lives, rehearse, and record a new album in the studio in early 2020s. By combining vintage footage with live interviews and rare backstage access, this film provides a wonderful snapshot of New Orleans as the home for so much great American music, from #soul to #BrassBand to jazz and #TheBlues. What better way to get ready for the Mardi Gras season!"

"La France moderne a été bâtie depuis Paris par ds dirigeants persuadés qu'il est dangereux pr l'unité du pays de laisser exister des histoires, des cultures et des langues qui ne sont pas celle validée par les autorités centrales. Plutôt que de chercher l'unité par l'adhésion de tous à 1 projet commun, ds le respect de leur diversité, elles ont fait le choix de développer le sentiment national français en effaçant toutes les différences et en imposant l'idée d'un peuple unique, avec une seule et même histoire"

"Ce n’est pas ta couleur de peau qui définit ton attitude, tu peux être ce que tu veux, si tu arrives en estimant que tu dois nous civiliser, nous sauver de notre ignorance et que tu as plus à nous offrir qu’à apprendre de nous, que tu penses que c’est comme ça qu’il faut faire, c’est de l’infantilisation, c’est comme ça que je définis un zorey."

Activists ask for help combatting violence against #Nicaragua’s #Indigenous communities
Maxwell Radwin
29 Jul 2024"Increasing violence in northern Nicaragua this year has displaced rural families and led to calls for more drastic action from the international community, which activists say hasn’t done enough to hold the #Ortega government accountable for human rights abuses.
"For years, Indigenous communities on Nicaragua’s northern #Caribbean coast have suffered threats, kidnappings, torture and unlawful arrests while defending communal territory from #IllegalSettlements and #mining. This year appears to be as bad as ever, and residents say they are desperate for help.
"'Urgent measures must be taken to protect these communities,' said Gloria Monique de Mees, the OAS rapporteur on the rights of Afro-descendants and against racial discrimination. 'Failure to address the crisis will only embolden the Nicaraguan government to continue its repressive campaign.'
"Much of the violence is concentrated within the North Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region (#RACCN), a jurisdiction communally governed and titled by Indigenous communities since the late 1980s. It’s home to #Miskitus, #Mayangnas, #Ulwa, #Ramas, #Creole and #Garífunas peoples, and contains mountain, #rainforest and coastal #ecosystems.
"The area has attracted non-Indigenous Nicaraguans, known locally as #colonos, looking to set up #farms, #logging operations and artisanal #mines. Massive #gold and #copper deposits have also created opportunities for multinational mining #corporations, with backing from the government.
"Indigenous communities say they’re worried about losing #AncestralLand as well as traditional farming, hunting and fishing practices as the forest is cleared and mines #pollute local streams and rivers."

Special Memorial #ChrisStrachwitz Episode of @AccordionNoir Radio
Sharing bits of a 2014 interview with Chris talking about his years working with #Accordion greats like #CliftonChenier in the early days of #Zydeco
And the monumental work Chris did at #ArhoolieRecords sharing #Cajun #Creole #Conjunto #Norteno #Bluegrass and #Trad #FolkMusic
Thanks Chris for appreciating accordions, unlike many #FolkRevival peers who [he said] just wanted to “bang on guitars” 🎸❤️🔥🪗

"Want fi goh rave"
(LKJ. 1979)Great song about the hardness of life and how broken youth dealt with it.
LKJ sings it in jamaican patwa but it's easily understandable, or at least guessable.
