NEW EPISODE! In our fascination with #STEM education, are we losing something vital by squeezing out the arts. It is precisely in its rich and diverse #aliveness perhaps that music, and other arts, hold so much possibility. Check out this week's conversation with the incredible Eric Dozier! With a couple of stunning songs performed by Eric too! Eric and Tim talk about: 🎵 How does music connect us with ourselves? 🎶 How does music connect us with each other, and build community? 🎵 How does music offer other ways of knowing and transferring cultural knowledge? 🎶 How do black and indigenous cultural ways of knowing get marginalised by white supremacy culture? 🎵 What does it mean for a teacher (like a choirleader) to hold space for transformation?

Question: How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives? My Answer: The best way to make an impact is to follow your passions and engage with organizations that align with those passions. There’s a common misconception that you need to be an artist or have an arts background to contribute to arts organizations. In reality, we need board members and volunteers with diverse skills and backgrounds—those who excel in finances, marketing, event organization, insurance, sales, and advocacy.

New Post: From ‘Ritmo’ to ‘Despacito’: The 21 Greatest Summer Songs of the Last Decade - https://lnkd.in/dpaGDanC - The summer season not only brings longer and hotter days, but also an incredible selection of music with perfect songs to accompany all the fun activities of the most relaxed time of the year. There are many songs that gain momentum each summer, but only a few reach the top of Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, becoming the most popular tunes of the season. Undoubtedly, the last 10 years have produced tracks worthy of inclusion in the playlists of 2024: urban-flavored tracks like “Bailando” by Enrique Iglesias featuring Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, which took over the summer of 2014, and “El perdón” by Nicky Jam and Enrique Iglesias which conquered the top of the chart for 30 weeks in 2015. And let’s not forget the global phenomenon that was “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, whose impact transcended beyond 2017 and to date continues to be heard around the world. Nor can we fail to mention the Mexican music hit “Ella Baila Sola” by Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma, which swept the summer of 2023. In addition to the phenomenon of “Gata Only”, which has been at the top of the chart for 14 weeks in 2024 and with which FloyyMenor and Cris MJ made history as the first Chileans to enter the top 10 of the chart in 25 years. Get ready to embark on a nostalgic musical journey through the Latin songs that accompanied your moments under the sun for the past 10 years. From “Ritmo” to “Despacito,” here are all the songs that were crowned No. 1 hits on the Hot Latin Songs chart each year between June and August, in chronological order. - #news #business #world -------------------------------------------------- Download: #Google #Font #Tester - https://lnkd.in/gKAZYbVN

We have so much global conflict today under crushing debt load and few economic resources to meet a growing population. Resolution comes with a massive dose of truth. The UK is mother to us all. She must act now. We need to release primary sources to verify and confirm our true black history. American red Indians came from Mongolia 🇲🇳 in the 1800s and were never indigenous to America. The real American Indians were black when a black Columbus showed up from black Europe in 1492. Blacks lived in America over 2000 years. Blacks lived in Europe for over 2000 years. The Black Hebrews occupied Europe and Scotland. Ben Franklin's Essay of 1751 on the increase of mankind par.24 is the clearest statement on race with an extremely small white population tied to the Caucasus but housed in England at the time of Ben's essay when global population was 600 m. Today of 8.2 billion souls UN /CIA report 5 % considered pure white. How can history be accurate? In North Africa I was called Berber blue man but content with genetically proven black bin Yahya Hebrew label. Blacks managed planet as leaders for 5800 years going back to a black Adam in BCE4000. Hard truth is that 300 years ago small group of whites were still in the Caucasus.

What do Michael Jordan 🏀 and an 80s goth rock band 🎸 have in common? The ability to build a winning team, and being able to adapt. A winning team is greater than the sum of its parts. It didn’t hurt that MJ had the greatest rebounder of all time, but teams with equal or greater talent have struggled to win championships. The Cult is a goth rock band 🎸 the rose to prominence in the 80s and are still touring today. For 4 decades, they’ve been bringing fans out to rock. The Police is one of the best selling bands of the 80’s, and was stacked with some of the greatest musicians of our time, but their inability to work together broke the band up prematurely. Know your team, and know how to get the most out of them. 👬👭🧑🤝🧑👫🙌🏿🙌 Adapting is key. If you don’t adapt, you won’t succeed. To beat the Bad Boys Pistons 💀🏀⛹🏾♂️, MJ and the Bulls had to adapt. I love 311, but they definitely struggled to adapt their music to wide appeal over the years. They maintained their core audience with some expansion, but their new albums struggled to resonate with audiences. If you want to build long-term success, build a winning team and be willing to adapt. This takes more than hiring the right people. It takes good data to act on, and a digital infrastructure to facilitate experimentation and innovation.
