The second son of Bob and Rita Marley, eight time Grammy winning musician and producer Stephen was born on April 20, 1972; he began his career as a precocious six-year old singing, dancing and playing percussion with his siblings in the group The Melody Makers whose first single “Children Playing in The Streets” was produced by their father in 1979 and released on Tuff Gong, the label founded by Bob in the late 60s. While still a teenager he assisted in the production of The Melody Makers\’ albums including their three Best Reggae Album Grammy winners “Conscious Party” (Virgin Record, 1989) “One Bright Day” (Virgin Records, 1990) and “Fallen Is Babylon” (Elektra Entertainment, 1998). *$1 Donated To Ghetto Youth Foundation From Every Ticket Sale

With the Desert View Watchtower perched on the edge of one of the worlds most renowned cultural and geographic landscapes, a trio of musicians with a strong connection to the Grand Canyon recently recorded music inside the Watchtower to share with the world. Experience this unique musical performance at Pueblo Grande Museum, with a special viewing of the documentary film sharing Hopi cultural connections to Grand Canyon, on November 16 at 6 p.m.

Ongtupqa (the Hopi name for the Grand Canyon that translates to Salt Canyon) celebrates the Grand Canyon through music and video, recorded on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon where Hopi emerged from the Third World into the Fourth World long ago. Through traditional Hopi vocals, the ancient sounds of the Hopi long flute and clay pot percussion, Ongtupqa features the oldest instruments from this corner of the world through original compositions inspired by the canyon. Clark Tenakhongva, Gary Stroutsos and Matthew Nelson use their mastery of voice, flute and percussion to bring the acoustics within the Watchtower to life.

This music was created on-site with reverence for the space that could never be replicated in a music studio far from the views and spirit of Grand Canyon. Ongtupqa was made with no studio enhancements or effects and captures the raw beauty of Hopi music and culture. Select pieces will be performed live by Stroutsos and Nelson following the showing of the Ongtupqa video, as well as insight into what makes this project significant for everyone with an interest in Grand Canyon, Arizona and native culture.

“My only hope is the music we offer will resonate with the world,” said Tenakhongva, who was elected as Vice Chairman of the Hopi Tribe one month after recording Ongtupqa. “As Hopi we were born from the Sipaapuni within Grand Canyon, and when we are done we return to the womb of our mother to rejuvenate life of a new beginning. This is the cycle. This is the Hopi way. And these are songs about that sacred place Ongtupqa.”

This special fundraising presentation was made possible through the Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary. Tickets are $10 for general public, and $5 for Museum Members. Copies of the CD and DVD will be available for purchase after the presentation. A portion of proceeds from the sale of Ongtupqa product benefits the restoration of the Desert View Watchtower and the continuation of traditional music and culture among youth on the Hopi Mesas.

ALPHA BLONDY & THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Janel Munoa began her singing career as a little girl Howling through the dark Oak forests at the edge of her tribes Reservation in Southern California, just an hour South of Los Angeles. Growing up Luiseno Indian, her native Howls now spill over into the rock, soul, blues, and laces of hip hop that infuse her music. Janels debut album Howls From Deep in the Woods is wild and full of her unique perspective. Her dark timbered voice conjures up a live performance that is full of energy, quirk, and ceremony, drawing the audience into her world.

From the privacy of a dorm room in 2005 to the streets of Brooklyn in 2016, I Am The Polish Army has come a long way since singer-guitarist Emma DeCorsey first considered the strength of her voice and the purpose behind the music floating around in her head. Between those early days trying to understand what I Am The Polish Army could be and the recent months in which the band finished their forthcoming album, DeCorsey had her heart crushed by several fellow musicians, her home studio equipment was stolen, she scraped her original thoughts for her first full-length and subsequently rewrote the bulk of the material. She also befriended two musicians (bassist Turner Stough and drummer Eric Kuby) who would forever alter the trajectory of her life.
Alongside DeCorseys memorably nimble fretwork, Stough and Kuby provide the necessary and expansive foundation through which the bands cinematic visions unfurl around your ears. Often dense, but inescapably agile, these arrangements offer a hard rock tint that colors their respective contributions. Stough\’s basslines slither and thud, giving weight and dexterity to the music, while Kubys emphatic percussion delivers a much needed bit of stomping noise and propulsion to DeCorseys vocal calisthenics. Lingering only momentarily within each of their influences, the band slowly divulges the depths and details that comprise the complex and labyrinthine motivations behind the rolling mass of My Old Man.

Based in Brattleboro Vermont, I Love You! is an amalgam of melancholy and orphic drive with infectious melodies and haunting lyricism. I Love You! is made up of all queer members who strive to create a safe queer space for queer show-goers.
