#WeSayThankYou by
Leslie Mandoki & Ian Anderson Gentle piano starts this
soft rock band (with flute) duet with male voices. Giving respect to the people—from the
hospitals to the grocery store workers that are helping people fighting the
Coronavirus. There is also a jab to corrupt speculators that are using this
time to make money off of this serious health problem.
We
Know What To Do by Sharon Katz & the Children of Bellas Artes English and Spanish. Grownup and children’s
voices. Unison rapping in Spanish. It’s
about washing your hands.The tempo is similar to the Human League’s “Don’t You
Want Me.”
Hamba Kahle Mandela (Go Well Mandela)
by Sharon Katz & Nonhlanhla Wanda: Piano and acoustic and electric guitar, the
right amount of harmonious electric instruments give “Go Down Mandela” a
comforting blend with two gentle female voices in English and Zulu. Stirring ballad to say “goodbye” to Nelson
Mandela, whose birthday is July 18. The
song is a challenge to carry his lessons forward. (pronounced HAM-BA-KAH-LE MANDELA)
(H=soft sound).
Let There By New Flowering
sung by Cornelius Eady Poem by Lucille Clifton, a respected African-American poet from Western NY. Dreamy-sounding male and vocal with a
guitar, cello.Last line: “Let Love be at
the end”

Elliott Murphy's Broken Poet Available on Digital HD
Visit Backstreets.com for the digital HD film. |
The
long-awaited Elliott Murphy film Broken Poet will come out on
digital HD May 15 from Virgil Films and Entertainment exclusively through music site http://backstreets.com/news.html#BPpre.
The
Backstreets site boasts a large fan base for Bruce Springsteen, who along with
his wife Patti Scialfa makes a cameo appearance in the film. Together with Springsteen, Elliott Murphy began
his career in the early 1970’s when both singer-songwriters were proclaimed the
“new Dylan.” His career has been focused in Europe for many years where he
continues to tour and release more than thirty-five albums. He lives in Paris
where he has often joined Bruce Springsteen on stage.
“On Broken
Poet we are experimenting with going direct to the actual fan base, releasing
before the national release,” said Virgil president and CEO Joe Amodei.
“Backstreets.com is the go-to for every Springsteen fan, so we were lucky to
get to work with them on the release and offer the exclusive.”
The
film will have a wider digital release in the summer.
Broken
Poet stars Elliott Murphy, Michael O’Keefe, Marisa
Berenson, Joanna Preiss and Françoise Viallon and is the story of 1970s
rock star Jake Lion, who is presumed dead in Paris until a former roadie
happens to be riding in the Paris Metro 40 years after his much-publicized
suicide and hears an aged street musician who sounds just like him. Rolling
Stone sends a rock journalist to investigate, and she uncovers something unexpected. Produced by
Traloinver Ltd. and Directed by Emilio Ruiz the film is based on an Elliott
Murphy short story (who co-wrote the script) and was shot in both Paris and New
York with a soundtrack by Elliott Murphy & Gaspard Murphy. Originally
intended to premiere in March as
the opening film of the 2020 New York City International Film Festival (cancelled due to the Corona pandemic) Broken Poet will finally be
available.

Coro de Selección
envía un mensaje de prevención a través de un video musical.
Niñas y niños del Coro de Selección de Promotora de
las Bellas Artes y Sharon Katz envían un mensaje de prevención a través de un
video musical grabado desde el resguardo.Ante la situación de alerta sanitaria que se vive en gran parte del mundo debido a la propagación del Covid-19 y siguiendo las recomendaciones tanto de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Secretaría de Salud de México, Promotora de las Bellas Artes se ha visto en la situación de suspender las actividades que se implementan en escuelas primarias públicas como parte del programa Coros Escolares y Coro de Selección, hasta que las condiciones de salud sean restablecidas.
Con todo este aislamiento, las niñas y niños del Coro de Selección de Promotora de las Bellas Artes se reúnen a la distancia para interpretar "Sabemos qué hacer / We Know What To Do", una canción compuesta y producida por Sharon Katz durante el inicio del COVID-19, para recordarnos con mucho amor, la importancia de tomar nuestras precauciones en este periodo de crisis sanitaria.
En este video musical podemos ver a 32 niñas y niños que se unieron de manera virtual a esta acción solidaria para mostrarnos que cuentan con el poder sanador de la música y el canto para su bienestar, el de sus familias y comunidades.
Les compartimos la liga de esta linda interpretación:
