SUMMARY:Screening : BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez
DESCRIPTION:BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez (2015\, 90 mins) directed by Barbara Attie\, Janet Goldwater and Sabrina Schmidt Gordon. \nSonia Sanchez has been on the front lines of art and activism for 60 years—teaching\, writing\, performing\, protesting.  She was a pioneer of the Black Arts Movement\, fought to establish the first university Black Studies program in the country\, and has exerted a widely acknowledged influence on the hip-hop and spoken word movements.  Packed with performances\, this intimate portrait captures the breadth of Sanchez’s rich and often unsettled life. \nBARBARA ATTIE and JANET GOLDWATER have been making award-winning broadcast documentaries for more than 25 years. They are recipients of the Pew Fellowship in the Arts. Attie and Goldwater’s documentaries often focus on social justice issues affecting women and girls — reproductive rights\, violence against women\, female genital mutilation — but they also make films about women who have inspired them as artists and activists\, such as Maggie Kuhn\, the founder of the Gray Panthers\, and Sonia Sanchez. SABRINA SCHMIDT GORDON has been editing and producing high impact documentaries for more than 15 years\, including the cinema verité documentary\, Quest. Gordon lives and works in New York City. \n\n\n\n\nContact Email Address:\n\ninquiry@scribe.org\n\n\n\nContact Phone Number:\n\n215-222-4201\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n$5 Admission

SUMMARY:The Poet-X with Elizabeth Acevedo at Uncle Bobbies
DESCRIPTION:Uncle Bobbie’s welcomes award winning Afro-Latina poet and author of the new YA novel “The Poet-X” Elizabeth Acevedo. Teens and adults are welcome for a reading and book signing. Admission is free. Books will be available for purchase. \nElizabeth Acevedo was born and raised in New York City. Her poetry is infused with her Dominican parents’ bolero and her beloved city’s tough grit. She holds a BA in Performing Arts from The George Washington University and a MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Maryland. She is a National Poetry Slam Champion as well as a Cave Canem Fellow\, CantoMundo Fellow\, and participant of the Callaloo Writer’s Workshop.  \n\n“Poignant and real\, beautiful and intense\, this story of a girl struggling to define herself is as powerful as Xiomara’s name: “one who is ready for war.”-Kirkus Review \n“Debut novelist Acevedo’s free verse gives Xiomara’s coming-of-age story an undeniable pull\, its emotionally charged bluntness reflecting her determination and strength. At its heart\, this is a complex and sometimes painful exploration of love in its many forms\, with Xiomara’s growing love for herself reigning supreme.” -Publishers Weekly \n| Location: The People’s Education Center 5443 Germantown Ave Philadelphia 19144 (next door to Uncle Bobbie’s) | Date: Tuesday\, April 24\, 2018 || 6:30 PM-8:00PM \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/author-reading-of-the-poet-x-w…

His project Petite Sketches is an intricate and imaginative journey using guitar\, voice and a message of love and inspiration to take the audience along for a ride. He often states\,\n” Petite Sketches is a brief unfolding of fleeting musical events accompanied by short lyrical statements. Something like musical quickies but I like to call them Petite Sketches.” \nEkaterina Skliar and Aleksei Aleksandrov\nhttps://www.skliar.org\nEkaterina Skliar is a Philadelphia-based mandolinist and domrist. She made her debut at age 11 with the Russian Folk Instrument Orchestra of the Buryatia Republic. Since then Ekaterina has performed with many chamber ensembles and orchestras and worked with renowned musicians. \nIn 2015 Ekaterina and her husband Aleksei Aleksandrov\, who is a professional musician playing domra\, have created an acoustic mandolin-domra duo. In just two years as a duo\, Ekaterina and Aleksei have performed concerts in numerous Russian and American cities\, where their performances got many positive reviews. Mark Linkins\, Musical Director of Munier Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra\, wrote about this project: “Both products of the M. Glinka Novosibirsk State Conservatory\, Aleksandrov and Skliar enthrall audiences with their virtuosic skill and impeccable artistry. The combination of Skliar’s pure\, crystalline tone (mandolin) and Aleksandrov’s warm\, harp-like tone (domra) is magical.” Ekaterina and Aleksei present a repertoire that spans the globe; from Bach duets to Russian folk songs\, and from Aleksei’s own compositions to neo folklore and jazz. \nBob Cohen\nAs a native of New York City\, Bob Cohen began piano lessons at the age of four.\nAfter 8 years of classical piano training\, Bob heard pianist Art Tatum in a\nlive performance\, and his musical interests quickly turned to jazz. \nAs a teenager\, Bob listened to the early bop recordings and\nbegan an intensive study of Charlie Parker’s music.\nAt 16\, Bob had a once in a lifetime opportunity to play a gig with Charlie Parker in New York\,\nfilling in for Al Haig\, Parker’s regular pianist. \nWhile still in college studying engineering\, Bob took piano lessons\nwith legendary pianist Lennie Tristano in New York. \nAfter receiving his M.S. degree in engineering\, he worked on nuclear energy projects in Ohio & California. Bob came to Philadelphia in the mid-1960’s to work on various NASA space programs. At G.E. he was assigned project manager for the development of small nuclear power units that were placed on the moon by Apollo astronauts during five of the lunar landings. These units supplied electrical power for science experiment packages left on the moon and they powered the communications gear that transmitted the science data back to Earth. \nBob continued to pursue two concurrent career paths –\nas an engineer and a jazz musician.\nHe also presided over a sound studio in Old City\,\nwhere many Philadelphia musicians recorded their first albums. \nDuring the 1980’s\, Bob’s jazz trio performed at a popular jazz club in Philadelphia (Café Borgia) where he was “resident pianist” for 12 years. He performed with some well-known jazz artists: Arnett Cobb\, Bob Brookmeyer\, bassist Mike Richmond\, singers Rachelle Ferrell and the late Evelyn Simms\, as well as many other fine Philly musicians including Larry McKenna\, Sonny Troy\, Lee Smith\, Tyrone Brown\, and John Swana. \nThe Planets \nThe Planets\, an original rockin’ blues band \, started out in the early 80’s with\nJoel and Larry Planet playing the Philly music scene.\nThey released their first cd in 2012 and are planning to work on a bunch of new compositions at Rittenhouse in 2018. We have recently been playing with\nJim Hamilton and he will be joining us at this Soundworks event. \n\nBrazilian Evening with Rafael Pondé and Cissa Paz \nSunday April 22\, 2018 7-10 pm \nAdvance tickets $10 (link below)\nhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted button_id=PQA6YBXGBRDYQ\nTickets at the door $15 \nRafael Pondé\, an accomplished Philadelphia-based musician\, originally from Salvador\, in The State of Bahia\, Brazil\, promotes cultural understanding and combats racism through music. Early recognition began in 1999\, when he participated in the Bahian Music Festival by University of Vitória da Conquista. Here he and The Curupira band won the blessing of Waly Salomão\, one of the greatest “Tropicalia” poets.This led to Rafael being placed in the hall of the greats “novissimos baianos.” Waly traveled with the young Rafael to São Paulo to record the program “Música brasileira” in the studios of Trama\, with João Marcelo Bôscoli\, the son of the legendary Elis Regina. \nRafael has recorded six albums\, and has toured Europe and Latin America\, and played in The Weltkulture festival in Germany in 2010\, among other important european festivals .In 2016\, Rafael was elected as “Brazilian cultural ambassador” for the program “Partners of America” (Founded in 1964 by JFK) from the American department of State. After being coming to USA since 2014 with grants from Bahia government and Brazil´s federal government he is living now between Brazil and the city of Philadelphia. His workshops\, concerts and speeches share Brazilian culture and focus on building cultural understanding and overcoming racism through music and the arts. More at www.rafaelponde.com.br \nSinger-songwriter Cissa Paz has made a name for herself in Washington DC as an eclectic performer influenced by the local jazz sounds and her Brazilian African-Indigenous background. Nominated for 3 Wammies\, her debut album gained great organic momentum. Cissa’s captivating stage presence and soulful voice bring music that is upbeat and engaging. She’s known and loved among the lovers and dancers of Brazilian music not only as a performer\, but as an ambassador of her genre. Her upcoming album promises a combination of Afro-Brazilian base with funky and soulful influences. A musical melting pot of fresh collaborations with highly acclaimed artists from her home country. \nCissa’s self-titled album released in September\, 2015 “is unexpectedly playful and whimsical in the nicest sense of the word\, and we almost always end up falling in love with her on this…The bounding momentum of some of her sambas is uncompromising and she evokes the joie de vivre of much that is beautiful about being Brasilian.” (World Music Report). \nBorn in Belgium by chance\, Cissa was raised mostly in Rio de Janeiro. She began her musical love affair by spending afternoons with the sounds of Caetano Veloso\, Gilberto Gil\, Elis Regina and other Brazilian greats coming from her parents’ record player. Her musical tastes matured as she kept sampling the musical diversity of the world. Her dance background is reflected on her music and is why most of her songs have a rhythmic sound that gets people on their feet.
