Erykah Badu links up with the Red Bull Music Academy on their Madrid stop of their 2011 World Tour for a little chat lecture. It feels like an episode of inside the actors studio but the interview session is not just you’re normal Q/A but a two hour in-depth conversation with Ms. Badu. Red Bull says:
Erykah fuses cosmic b-girl bravado with the forward-thinking sounds of producers like the Soulquarians, Madlib, and more recently, Academy grad Flying Lotus, to create a sonically varied body of work – selling millions of albums in the process. She also heads up her own record label, Control FreaQ, and has even been caught on the ones and twos recently, under her moniker DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown. Watch her tell the story to Eothen ‘Egon’ Alapatt at the Red Bull Music Academy 2011 in Madrid.
Red Bull is becoming a mainstay in the world of music and synomous with quality(not to mention energy drinks that will get you through a late night party) Start your morning off with Erykah Badu
Ms Dynamite is seemingly a staple on the music scene these days, Creative Beach has definitely brought you all a lot of content and music from her in the last few weeks, well here is more goodness. As promised here is more from the Red Bull Music Academy’s “Revolution in Sound” London Eye takeover, “Party in the sky”. Yes unfortunately I couldn’t make it(yeah I know Red Bull what’s up with that!?) but here it is. Get your Friday night started right now!
You all know how Creative Beach does it, here is one final Jazz Sunday for this week to take your Sunday evening in the direction it should go and that is smooth and laid back but with a cool edge. Soweto Kinch is an alto Saxophonist that is a part of the global sound that bridges hip hop with traditional straight ahead jazz. A couple weeks ago Red Bull took over the London Eye and invited 30 of their closest musician friends to entertain a handful(per pod) of fortunate free ticket winners to party and enjoy the music of their favorite selected artist. Creative Beach posted about the takeover and said to stay tuned, well I hope you stayed tuned because here is one of the first recording presented by Red Bull Music Academy Radio featuring Soweto Kinch. Check below for the stream and press play and of course enjoy!
Make sure you continue to check back with Creativebeach.net for more Red Bull London Eye Takeover recordings in the next coming days.
Creative Beach first found out about Soweto Kinch from this video, get hooked too!
Ok imagine you were sitting at dinner talking about what would be one of the best, most outlandish and coolest events someone could put together. You are eating, drinking and someone says ‘what if we threw a party on every pod of the London Eye, got 30 artists to perform and invite people to come along.Oh! they get free tickets which we just hand out like Willie Wonka’. Everyone stops, thinks about it and then starts laughing ‘yeah that would be dope’ someone shouts out and then the conversation moves on.
…Well that event actually took place this past Thursday in London as part of the Red Bull Music Academy World Tour. Here is some video of the event featuring a freestyle from Kano and a glimpse of the party from Lunice. Stay tuned for more info on this event. Yep, there is more goodness to come.
