SOUND MAP OF SALSA MUSIC IN NYC - BARCELONA LECTURE

Last June, I had the privilege of visiting Barcelona, a city I cherish for many reasons. The trip began in Madrid as a gift to myself to celebrate my birthday. Thanks to the efforts of Sara, @musicas.sospechosas, and Marcelo from @afrolatinjamallstars, along with the collaboration of Dilla Barcelona, I had the opportunity to do the lecture Sound Map of Salsa Music in NYC there. It was heartwarming to be surrounded by friends I hadn’t seen in eight years, whom I love deeply while I was doing it.

Holding the conference in Barcelona was a dream come true. It was wonderful to see the Sursystem magazine end up in the hands of people eager to learn more about the history of Salsa and Sursystem itself. The impact of the Sursystem 3R edition, La Linterna, on attendees unfamiliar with it was truly gratifying, especially since it was their first (and last) time in Barcelona.

The soundtrack for the conference was curated by Sara and Marcelo, and the photos included here were taken by Camila Gómez @camilag_ov. I wholeheartedly thank this remarkable group for enabling me to share my reading, and I am grateful to everyone who attended for supporting this independent initiative. To those who purchased Sursystem 08 and Sursystem 3R, I hope you enjoy them.

Enjoy!

Ens veiem!

^^Los Dichos de los INmigrantes en NYC^^

Este proyecto tiene como objetivo reclamar y preservar la sabiduría popular que se encuentra en los dichos compartidos por los inmigrantes que viven en la ciudad de Nueva York. Estos dichos se transmiten de padres, familiares y amigos a los miembros que emigraron, muchos de ellos los aprenden en sus países de origen. Estos dichos desempeñan un papel vital en el mantenimiento de la cultura popular de sus ciudades o pueblos de origen.

Estos dichos proporcionan a los inmigrantes una voz interior reconfortante y familiar, ofreciendo motivación durante circunstancias desafiantes y a menudo hostiles. También alientan a los inmigrantes a perseverar en perseguir sus sueños y brindar consuelo y esperanza durante las inevitables dificultades que surgen en una nueva ciudad.

*Immigrants’ Sayings From NYC*

This project aims to reclaim and preserve the popular wisdom found in the sayings shared by immigrants living in New York City. These sayings are often passed down from parents, family members, and friends, or were learned in their home countries. They play a vital role in maintaining the popular culture of their cities or towns of origin.

These sayings provide immigrants with a comforting and familiar inner voice, offering motivation during challenging and often hostile circumstances. They encourage immigrants to persevere in pursuing their dreams and provide solace and hope during the inevitable difficulties that arise in their journey in a new city.

Agradecimientos al Máster @zecarrillo por los carteles!

Nos vemos!

SURSYSTEM MAGAZINE 3R WORKSHOP AT THE SECRET DOOR TATTOO STUDIO

Last May first, I was invited by @barriocollectivebk to do the Sursystem 3R workshop at @thesecretdoornyc studio. It was beautiful working with the studio crew; it was such a group of talented people who were focused on the work process and made their own magazine without hesitation or complaint. 

I want to share pictures of the people who participated in it, plus the fanzine Expo we put together to show the participants the fantastic world of independent publishing.

All of them made a piece of artwork for the magazine content; also, the covers and back covers of the Sursystem 3R were made, decorated, and designed by the people who joined the workshop, too.

We were 14 people working 5 hours straight, and nobody left the ship. I hope we will do the workshop again soon.
