YARISAL & KUBLITZ

The Anger Release Machine by Yarisal and Kublitz is an interactive sculpture. Experience the most satisfying feeling when a piece of China breaks into million pieces. All you have to do is insert a coin, and a piece of China will slowly move forwards and fall into the bottom of the machine, breaking, and leaving you happy and relieved of anger.

Pedro Reyes

Amazing Art/Social Project by Pedro Reyes titled 'Disarm'.  Reyes turns weapons into Musical Instruments. I love his quote at the end of the video he states,"I'm taking this piece of metal that represents our instinct of killing each other, and I'm turning it into a musical instrument which is the most sophisticated form of communication on the planet." poetic.

Space is the Place - Sun Ra Film 1974

 

Just watched Space is the Place -it's super trippy with a poetic twist.  Definitely worth a watch- you can stream it on youtube here.

"Sun Ra - space-age prophet, Pharaonic jester, shaman-philosopher and avant-jazz keyboardist/bandleader--lands his spaceship in Oakland, having been presumed lost in space for a few years. With Black Power on the rise, Ra disembarks and proclaims himself "the alter-destiny." He holds a myth-vs reality rap session with vblack inner-city youth at a rec center, threatening "to chain you up and take you with me, like they did you in Africa" if they resist his plea to go to outer space. He duels at cards with The Overseer, a satanic overlord, with the fate of the black race at stake. Ra wins the right to a world concert, which features great performance footage of the Arkestra. Agents sent by the Overseer attempt to assassinate Ra, but he vanishes, rescues his people, and departs in his spaceship from the exploding planet Earth."IMDB

Hecho en México

Just got finished watching this and was so excited by it I can no longer sleep and my mind is racing.  BEAUTIFUL movie.  I accidently tripped onto it on Netflix streaming and was plesently surprised by the mixture of visuals through colors and traditions, blending of incredible latino music from different genres, and theories of life, culture, identity spoken by many amazing thinkers of Mexico. Guau!

I found an Interview on Alt. Latino NPR with the director, Duncan Bridgeman and the music producer, Lynn Fainchtein. Definitely worth a listen!

Blu

Blu was in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He seems to have a more controversial political twist to this new piece- Argentinian Flag cover their eyes and mouths.  It has has provoked Argentinians to have extremely opposing views on the new mural.

"A number of Argentines have taken offense and interpreted Blu’s artwork as depicting the electorate as ‘blind followers’ following Cristina Fernandéz de Kirchner’s convincing presidential victory in October. Despite Blu pointing out that if you are not in Argentina you can change the color of the flag (in the mural) depending which country you are in, someone has still decided to deface the artwork."BA Street Art

Joao e Bebel Gilberto - Chega de saudade

Chega de saudade

Vai minha tristeza
E diz a ela
Que sem ela não pode ser
Diz-lhe numa prece
Que ela regresse
Por que eu não posso mais sofrer
Chega de saudade
A realidade
É que sem ela não há paz
Não há beleza
É só tristeza
E a melancolia
Que não sai de mim
Não sai de mim, não sai
Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar
Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos
Que eu darei na sua boca
Dentro dos meus braços
Os abraços
Hão de ser milhões de abraços
Apertado assim
Colado assim
Calado assim
Abraços e beijinhos
E carinhos sem ter fim
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio
De você viver sem mim
Não quero mais esse negócio
De você viver sem mim

That's enough longing for her

Go, my sadness, go
And tell her that
It's impossible without her.
Tell her, by a prayer,
To return
Because I can't be suffering any longer.
That's enough longing for her...
The truth is that
There is no peace without her
There is no beauty
There is only sadness
And melancholy
Which does not leave me
It does not leave me, it doesn't...

But if she comes back, if she comes back
How beautiful it will be and how crazy
Because there'll be less fishes down in the sea
Than there'll be kisses
Which I will give to her mouth

With you in my arms,
My embraces will be
Like a thousand
So tightly like this
So close like this
So silently like this
(I'll give) Hugs and little kisses
And endless caresses
So as to stop this thing about
You living away from me
I don't want any more of this thing about
You living away from me
