Brazilian singer Curumin, of mixed Japanese/Spanish heritage, performs at SummerStage (FREE!)
(New York City)

Wednesday, July 08, 2009
From 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Central Park SummerStage

Curumin, a São Paulo singer/composer/multi-instrumentalist of Spanish and Japanese heritage, was first discovered in September 2005 by hip hop duo Blackalicious while touring in Brazil. Curumin’s music is a head-spinning amalgamation of “música popular Brasileira” (MPB), Brazilian roots, samba-reggae, dub, hip hop, electronica, funk, rock, and pop along with hints of Brazilian jazz and the kind of samba-rock pioneered by Tropicália stars like Jorge Ben and Tim Maia. Curumin is an inspired experimentalist with an innate pop sense who manages to project a unified vision even while ricocheting between hard-funk workouts, tuneful rock anthems, breezy ballads full of soul, and politically charged mashes of dub, rap, funk, and electronica.

HAPA (Hawaiian Music)

About:

"Pan-Polynesian music is an amalgam of influences ranging from ancient genealogical chants to the strummed ballads of Portuguese fisherman, Spanish cowboys, and the inspired melodies and harmonies of the traditional church choirs of the early missionaries. Add to this a dose of American acoustic folk/rock, and you have what has been described as the “most exciting and beautiful contemporary Hawaiian music the world knows!”… (Maui Times).
