| 11/28/21 | Maplewood, NJ | The Woodland | United States |
| Time: 4:00pm. Admission: FREE. Age restrictions: All Ages. Address: 60 Woodland Rd.. FREE CONCERT – FAMIY FRIENDLY – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SWEET PLANTAIN Bridges Gap Between Generations & Genres of Latin American Music SWEET PLANTAIN’s diverse repertoire heavily features the works of notable Latin American composers like Astor Piazzolla, Mongo Santamaría, Aldemaro Romero, and Paquito D’Rivera, alongside the original compositions and arrangements of the quartet’s own members. What’s more, the group inventively incorporates improvisation, percussive, and extended techniques that artfully fuse the western classical traditions in which they were trained with the jazz, rock, hip-hop, and Latin rhythms on which they were raised. Separately hailing from Venezuela, Argentina, Russia, and the Bronx, together these musicians give voice to a sound that is both rooted in tradition and entirely new. Sweet Plantain is the kind of multicultural, chamber music group that can only be found in New York. Since 2007, Sweet Plantain’s extensive touring has included shows throughout the United States, Europe, Russia, and the Caribbean, ranging from performances in Moscow’s historic Tchaikovsky Concert Hall to New York City’s famed Birdland jazz club, a 15-cities tour of Sweden and an Alaskan summer music festival. Gifted educators, the group has also led master classes, educational concerts, and held teaching residencies at Berklee College of Music (Boston), the 92nd Street Y (Manhattan), Celia Cruz High School of Music (the Bronx), and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts (Idaho), among numerous other schools and cultural centers throughout the U.S. When not collaborating on this project, the quartet members can be found performing on Broadway, with various classical orchestras and other chamber music ensembles, and touring with megastars the likes of Marc Anthony, Harry Connick Jr, and Bruce Springsteen.

More info here: NEW YORK, NY – The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, NYC Health + Hospitals and AFM Local 802 have launched Music for the Soul of NYC’s Health + Hospitals Heroes, a new series in support of the 43,000 staff at NYC’s 11 public hospitals and their patients. The series is funded by the Laurie M Tisch Illumination Fund. Music for the Soul is designed to inspire our heroic medical community, connect isolated patients to the outside world, and provide paid work for musicians, who may be struggling financially. The series will feature a variety of professional NYC musicians performing songs requested by health workers and patients at NYC public hospitals, as well as some of the musicians’ personal favorites. The musicians – who’ll be playing from home – will also be performing songs that local hospitals have used to celebrate patients successfully coming off ventilators. Starting this week and running through July 3, Music for the Soul will be livestreamed on NYC Health + Hospital’s Facebook page every day from 12-1pm ET. Special guest Tony Bennett will kick off the Music for the Soul hour today by paying tribute to hospital workers with a special message and performance of the classic “Fly Me to The Moon” followed by Local 802 musician Rachel Z Hakim; while Rosanne Cash and her husband John Leventhal will appear at the top of the hour tomorrow to perform a couple of songs followed by Local 802 musician Richard Frank. A variety of talented NYC musicians will be performing over the next several weeks, with guest appearances from musicians such as Questlove, who will present a special DJ set, and indie pop band AJR. “This program celebrates the best of New York City: our local musicians sharing their talents to heal our dedicated healers on the frontlines,” said Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment Commissioner, Anne del Castillo. “As the daughter of a nurse, I could not be more proud to be part of this special effort.” The program offers NYC musicians, many of whom have been financially affected by the current COVID-19 crisis, fair wages and benefits in accordance with guidelines from AFM Local 802.

It comprises 12 chapters and each one ends with the description of the ritual prayers, lyrics, and notations of the chants. The traditional music includes the ancient chant to the Madonna of Montevergine (Avellino) from the region of Campania the Black Madonna known as Mamma Schiavona, the Serving Mother, who is considered the most important of the seven sisters.
