In Cloud’s masterful hands, a sly glance or a subtle shoulder hunch said more than any dialog could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cloud’s \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em> co-star and fellow Oaklander \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvaft3SL4Zr/\">Zendaya dedicated an Instagram post to him\u003c/a> on Tuesday. “Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus,” she wrote. “I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh.” She went on: “I’d like to remember him that way.

A well-curated lineup of both emerging rappers and seasoned legends drew crowds of teens through 50-somethings willing to brave the heat wave. People brought small children, babies and dogs. Above all, the festival celebrated the Bay Area’s hip-hop lineage—how distinctive styles like mobb music, hyphy and conscious rap have informed each other throughout the decades, and how younger artists are taking that legacy and building something new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13918706\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13918706\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Stunnaman02-performs-at-Hiero-Day-on-Monday-Sept.-6-2022.-002-Estefany-Gonzalez-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Stunnaman02-performs-at-Hiero-Day-on-Monday-Sept.-6-2022.-002-Estefany-Gonzalez-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Stunnaman02-performs-at-Hiero-Day-on-Monday-Sept.-6-2022.-002-Estefany-Gonzalez-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Stunnaman02-performs-at-Hiero-Day-on-Monday-Sept.-6-2022.-002-Estefany-Gonzalez-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Stunnaman02-performs-at-Hiero-Day-on-Monday-Sept.-6-2022.-002-Estefany-Gonzalez-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Stunnaman02-performs-at-Hiero-Day-on-Monday-Sept.-6-2022.-002-Estefany-Gonzalez-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Stunnaman02-performs-at-Hiero-Day-on-Monday-Sept.-6-2022.-002-Estefany-Gonzalez.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stunnaman02 (right) performs at Hiero Day on Monday, Sept. 5, 2022. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After a year off in 2020, and a scaled-down event in 2021, Hiero Day made a true return this year for its 10th anniversary.

century-long track record of bringing the world’s greatest performers to UC Berkeley. Perusing a Cal Perfs catalog can feel like planning a journey to Oz, with its tantalizing succession of shows that parachute audiences into scenes teeming with Technicolor creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after covering Cal Performances for a quarter century, it’s still hard to account for its lack of initiative when it comes to programming local artists. With apologies to the Sunflower State, the Bay Area ain’t Kansas. The international array of world-class choreographers, musicians, composers and multi-disciplinary performers residing here tends to fly under the organization’s radar, which is why Saturday’s world premiere \u003ca href=\"https://calperformances.org/events/2021-22/new-music/van-anh-vo-blood-moon-orchestra-2122/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Songs of Strength\u003c/em>\u003c/a> at Zellerbach Hall feels like Cal Perfs suddenly woke from a fever dream eyes wide with wonder to declare earnestly, “There’s no place like home!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Created by Hanoi-born composer and \u003ca href=\"https://www.vananhvo.com/bio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vietnamese traditional music master Vân-Ánh Võ\u003c/a>, \u003cem>Songs of Strength\u003c/em> is a three-part suite championing women’s resilience and independence with texts in English, Farsi and Vietnamese. More than polyglot, the production is kaleidoscopic, seeking to elucidate universal themes about the struggle for liberation by spinning the artists into unfamiliar terrain. Võ is the overarching conceptualist, but she’s spotlighting several leading Bay Area musicians, including Iranian singer/songwriter Mahsa Vahdat, breakdancer Babatunji “Tunjie” Johnson (who’s also a member of Alonzo King LINES Ballet) and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13878382/kev-choices-social-distancing-album-captures-four-weeks-of-hope-and-grief\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kev Choice\u003c/a>, a rapper and jazz-steeped pianist with a long track record as a creative catalyst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=8y02Rv8sQzw&feature=emb_logo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Musically, it’s definitely outside the normal scope of what I’d rap over as a hip-hop artist,” says Choice, who contributes to four pieces throughout \u003cem>Songs of Strength\u003c/em>. “I wanted to contribute as a lyricist, but not force hip-hop into it. The topics are very socially conscious, focusing on liberation and freedom. One piece is inspired by a Maya Angelou poem, where Vân is singing in Vietnamese and I’m rapping in English. And as an MC there’s some space for me to improvise, using freestyle technique.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Võ often performs for Vietnamese communities around California, but she’s also eagerly sought out collaborators who know little of her homeland. Her commitment to incorporating other traditions, languages and musical practices into her music flows from her sense of herself as a work in progress, “a traditional artist still taking classes with my masters,” Võ says during a video call from her home in the El Cerrito hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never think I can finish learning,” she says. “They provide a time machine to go back to the past, and I have to create music that reflects my thinking and future generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At their best, the encounters are win-win, an exchange that breaks down barriers between people and deepens one’s art. “I can get influences and give influences, which can help us get closer,” she says. “A lot of people are afraid of sharing. They think whatever they have will be stolen away. I’m not afraid of that. I never use any technique or school of thought to replace what I am, only to make my technique and instrument better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cZgkQsfqhE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday’s concert is part of Cal Performances’ \u003cem>Illuminations:\u003c/em> “Place and Displacement” series, which features performances, public programs and academic events designed to investigate the ripples of migration and demographic change. No stranger to Cal Performances audiences, Võ has performed at Zellerbach Hall several times in collaboration with Kronos Quartet, most recently in 2018 in the fully staged opera \u003cem>My Lai\u003c/em> by composer Jonathan Berger and librettist Harriet Scott Chessman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rare exception to Cal Performances’ inattention to Bay Area-based artists, Kronos has been a primary conduit bringing local luminaries into the organization’s orbit (including Mahsa Vahdat, who also performs with the illustrious new music ensemble \u003ca href=\"https://calperformances.org/events/2021-22/new-music/kronos-quartet-2122/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thursday at Zellerbach\u003c/a>). With \u003cem>Songs of Strength\u003c/em>, Võ is holding the door opened by Kronos and ushering in a bevy of artists who’ve never played a Cal Performances engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Songs of Strength\u003c/em> features Võ’s Blood Moon Orchestra, which may sound like a grand designation for a quartet. But her wildly disparate cast of East Bay artists can create sumptuously dynamic musical settings, building on the singular rhythm section tandem of Oakland taiko drummer Jimi Nakagawa and Berkeley electric bassist Kai Eckhardt. Eckhardt is a co-founder of the jam band Garaj Mahal, and has toured and recorded with heavyweights like guitarist John McLaughlin, tabla maestro Zakir Hussain and drummer Billy Cobham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blood Moon’s Joel Davel pivots between the rhythm section and melodic lead, providing orchestral accompaniment on marimba lumina, an electronic instrument with a limitless range of sonic possibilities.

While fans await new music from him, Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/blacklondonmusic/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Black London\u003c/a> music collective is embarking on a project to pay homage to his seminal 2000 album, \u003cem>Voodoo\u003c/em>. Over the next several weeks, they’ll be releasing jazz interpretations of some of D’Angelo’s best-known tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First up is their cover of “Devil’s Pie,” featuring singer Viveca Hawkins. While D’Angelo’s original juxtaposes the organic feel of his bluesy vocals with a stripped-down hip-hop beat, Black London brings in lush, new textures with Hawkins’ honeyed voice, Kev Choice and Mike Blankenship’s celestial keys and Howard Wiley’s soulful saxophone. The collective finds pockets for improvisation, breaking free from the structure of a straightforward pop song. It’s an unorthodox approach that reflects D’Angelo’s own creative thinking in his lyrics about how capitalism compromises people’s values: “Who am I to justify / All the evil in our eye / When I myself feel the high / From all that I despise.”\u003cem>—Nastia Voynovskaya\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/track=1254587643/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dom Jones, “One More Night”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Poet and R&B vocalist \u003ca href=\"https://iamdomjones.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dom Jones\u003c/a> recently debuted her single “One More Night” off of her new EP, \u003cem>CHASM\u003c/em>. The jazzy song is an uplifting and melodic musical approach to that bad habit of reaching out to a former lover for one more night of romance. “I only think of you when my body is hot, the night is cold, that’s when that old love crosses my mind,” sings Jones in the opening seconds of the uptempo track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones, an Oakland-raised artist who graduated from the Berkelee School of Music in 2014, says both the five-track EP and newly released poetry book with the same title are dedicated to the decision to leave a lukewarm relationship and pursue her dreams of making music.

While fans await new music from him, Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/blacklondonmusic/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Black London\u003c/a> music collective is embarking on a project to pay homage to his seminal 2000 album, \u003cem>Voodoo\u003c/em>. Over the next several weeks, they’ll be releasing jazz interpretations of some of D’Angelo’s best-known tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First up is their cover of “Devil’s Pie,” featuring singer Viveca Hawkins. While D’Angelo’s original juxtaposes the organic feel of his bluesy vocals with a stripped-down hip-hop beat, Black London brings in lush, new textures with Hawkins’ honeyed voice, Kev Choice and Mike Blankenship’s celestial keys and Howard Wiley’s soulful saxophone. The collective finds pockets for improvisation, breaking free from the structure of a straightforward pop song. It’s an unorthodox approach that reflects D’Angelo’s own creative thinking in his lyrics about how capitalism compromises people’s values: “Who am I to justify / All the evil in our eye / When I myself feel the high / From all that I despise.”\u003cem>—Nastia Voynovskaya\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/track=1254587643/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Dom Jones, “One More Night”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Poet and R&B vocalist \u003ca href=\"https://iamdomjones.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dom Jones\u003c/a> recently debuted her single “One More Night” off of her new EP, \u003cem>CHASM\u003c/em>.

The money that is defunded from police should go to organizations that are on the ground working against human trafficking, providing mental heath services for young people especially, services for people without homes.

Those organizations have to be poured into so that we as a community know how to stand on our own two feet to handle harm when it comes up, because it will come up. People who know how to talk to survivors, be respectful of each others’ experiences and know the gravity of trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am a survivor of rape, and when I brought my case to the police, all the emphasis was on catching this predator and putting him behind bars. A lot of survivors of trafficking experience times when their abuser does go behind bars, their trafficker gets incarcerated. And still, the problem of trafficking doesn’t end. Another pimp picks you up, or that pimp gets out of prison and keeps doing the same thing. There’s no transformative work that’s being done. There needs to be more of a compassionate emphasis around the experience of a survivor and what a survivor needs to heal and be safe in community. A lot of the time, a survivor needs visibility and the ability to use their voice. Also to have stable housing and a pathway to a career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those ideologies are really what make us safe, as opposed to constantly capturing people, putting them away and filtering them back into society, often with more vindication and more trauma than what they had before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rasheed Lockheart, reentry coordinator at \u003ca href=\"https://plantingjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Planting Justice\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“As someone who grew up in the ’80s, when you were pulled over by the police and the first thing they told you was, ‘Don’t fucking move. I’ll shoot you. I promise you.’ We absolutely have to do away with that system. It still exists today, it’s just more relevant now because it’s on camera. We have to defund the police to eventually abolish them. That money needs to be put into reentry programs, taking care of the homeless, education and mental health programs. I remember being a kid and going to a Boys and Girls Club-type thing after school, and when they shut that down I didn’t have anything to do but be in the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities are more resilient than people give them credit for, but often they don’t have the resources. We have to learn to genuinely care about the next human being no matter what they might be, whether they are Black, white, queer—whatever.

It was through the FBI coming in and tearing Black communities apart. For the first time in a very long time, we have the opportunity to control where government money is spent in favor of the Black community. We have to rectify and get reparations for what has already happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has to be an integration of the Black Panthers’ ideals and values and history into the Oakland Unified curriculum. I think that’s specifically because, if we’re going to understand how to move forward and what the issues are at hand, we need the entire population of the Bay Area, the entire United States, to jump on board and realize history was not always done right. We should not embrace the American identity that was, that oppressed Black people and other people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to reimagine [policing], it has to be on a very local scale.
