King Corduroy & Dayna Bee
2023-10-14 20:30 - 23:00 | Corazón Performing Arts, 125 South Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Topanga, CA 90290, Topanga, CA, 90290, US
Texas electric blues, Memphis soul, New Orleans voodoo funk, the Tulsa groove & Mississippi Delta blues, storytellers in Topanga Canyon

It’s like hot grease & warm pot liquor. 8:30PM 2 SETS, SATURDAY, OCT 14th Dayna Bee & King Corduroy in Concert at the eclectic Corazon Performing Arts space in Topanga Canyon. $20 bucks mixed seating and dancing space.
KING CORDUROY is a modern songwriter inspired by the swampy grit, juke-joint swagger, and countrified twang of old-school American roots music, and he has been chasing his singular muse for years, making his own kind of “cosmic southern soul music” along the way.
It’s a sound anchored by a genuine reverence for the good stuff — including Texas electric blues, Memphis soul, New Orleans voodoo funk, the Tulsa groove and Mississippi Delta blues — and updated to suit the unique experience of a storyteller, multi-instrumentalist, wandering troubadour, and larger-than-life frontman who’s lived everywhere from the Bible Belt to the Mexican Baja. Those travels play a central role on King Corduroy’s fourth release, Avalon Ave., whose five songs match King Corduroy’s colorful appearance — equal parts 1970s-era Leon Russell, Southern rock bluesman, and hippie mystic — with soulful performances and real-life stories sourced from his own rambles.
DAYNA BEE is an artist, multi instrumentalist and string arranger based out of Nashville, TN, by way of the Sunshine State. Dayna has performed live and/or worked in the studio with artists such as Johnny Mathis, ELO, Trampled by Turtles, Joshua Hedley, The War & Treaty, Al Stewart, Alan Parsons, Dennis Deyoung (of Styx), Josh Groban, and Natalie Merchant. Dayna has performed on many stages, including: at the Grand Ole Opry, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and Bridgestone Arena and The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. She is available for session work in the studio or remotely from her home studio as well as string arranging.

The Dirty Lowdown is a Late 70’s and Early 80’s cover band that is Southern California’s dirty little secret. They play the forgotten hits and jams from that era: the FM Classics, AM Gold, Classic Rock, Yacht Rock, and Dance Rock. In the short time together we have performed in a variety of locations and events, from private parties, to bars, clubs, and festivals, and even once on a float in a parade. Our extensive song list focuses mainly on the songs most other bands avoid from the ’70s and Early 80’s that people miss hearing, singing along to, and dancing to. They’ve even done several one-off themed tribute nights to David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Queen, ZZ Top, John Cougar Mellencamp and even songs from the year 1977. Reinterpreting the classics for maximum effect. That’s the DIRTY LOWDOWN. Anything can happen at our shows, sometimes audience members come up on stage and join because anything goes. And the rule is anyone who gets on our stage gets a special, secret, dirty lowdown name, too. We love to play and we come at it any way we can because it’s always a party when we do. It’s always a Dirty Lowdown Throw Down. Join us!

This powerful musical journey will introduce and transport the audience to a time and place where an unbroken and ancient tradition continues today with folk music, processions, devotional drumming, and dance.
The concert is inspired by two geographically distant but thematically parallel traditions. Southern Italian and Brazilian purification rites and procession performed in the summer to honor the archetypical sea goddess. In Brazil she comes from the West African Yoruba culture and is called Yemanja , in Italy she is called the Black Madonna of the Sea (once called Aphrodite). Internationally renowned singer, percussionist, dancer and REMO Artist Alessandra Belloni will be playing the ocean drum, recreating the sound of the waves of the ocean , her Yemanja drum made by Remo that combines the sound of the water with the drum, her line of Southern Italian tambourines and frame drums accompanied by a small ensemble of singers and percussionists.
Southern Italy and Brazil share their common roots in Africa and worship of the Black Madonna as African Mother.
Following Alessandra’s book, “Healing Journeys with the Black Madonna” (Inner Traditions Bear and Co., 2019)https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Journeys-Black- Madonna-Practices/dp/15914 The concert will narrate the legend of the 7 Sisters , or seven Black Madonnas:
The last one was believed to be the ugliest so she ran away to a high mountain “Mount Partenio” so that the pilgrims had to search hard to find her. When they found Her they saw that she was the most beautiful of all, She was Black and they called her “Mamma Schiavona” the nurturing, serving mother, to be found now in MONTEVERGINE. She is also the patron of the gay & transgenders.
These Madonnas are connected to seven Goddesses that are part of the ancient worship of Mother Earth and the archetype of the African Mother, especially Isis from Egypt.
Countries around the world, including Southern Italy, Brazil, Africa and the Middle East have musical traditions based on the power of women chants & drumming. Belloni and company will emulate one of the most ancient ways of praying and healing, including sacred chanting to the Black Madonna sung by female voices in harmony, accompanied by various percussion instruments (frame drums, tambourines, shakers, djembes, dumbecks, riqqs,). Dancers will spin and stomp their feet in celebration of life and peace..

BIOGRAPHIES
Ethan Margolis aka Emaginario:  World-traversed and genre-fluid guitarist Ethan Margolis, aka “Emaginario,” is a prime example of an artist who has become greater than the sum of his many parts. His distinctive story, which has encompassed evolutionary periods in Spain and Los Angeles begins just outside Cleveland, Ohio, in the embrace of a musical household. His familial heritage also extends into the Deep South, a root system instilling roots music consciousness. He spent 11 years immersing himself in the Roma (Gitano) musical circuit in Andalucía and later disciplined with the Pinini Family of Roma singers in Lebrija, Spain, which is one of the birthplaces for roots Flamenco music. Returning to the United States in 2010 while simultaneously staying active in Andalusia, Margolis has retained his own “sketches of Spain” and its music while incorporating other popular musical idioms— including Jazz, Blues, Cuban, and Americana into his ever-expanding musical repertoire. His album releases and production work bring this repertoire into full focus. The sounds of the Andalusian experience can be found throughout his recordings as well as his deep interest in Jazz and Delta Blues. His discography so far encompasses albums as a leader, such as Songs of Mind, Soleángeles, Arsa 100, En Madrid, Speakeasy Session, and Sonikete Blues. The latter album garnered generous critical kudos, including a ringing endorsement from prominent Madrid-based critic José Manuel Gómez, declaring it one of the top 40 flamenco fusion albums of all time. Most recently Margolis has collaborated on albums with Larry Grenadier, Eric Harland, Chano Domínguez, Pedrito Martínez and Caramelo de Cuba.
Ken Margolis:  Born near the shores of Lake Erie in the industrial town of Cleveland, Ohio, Ken Margolis is an accomplished songwriter, keyboardist and vocalist. He learned to play the piano by ear and was drawn to playing with other budding musicians during the revolution of popular music that occurred during the 60’s and 70’s. Throughout the early years in Cleveland, he played keyboards with the power-pop group, The Choir and was a contemporary with many of the up-and-coming musicians in the early stages of their careers including Wally Bryson, Joe Walsh, Joe Vitale, Eric Carmen – like them he thrived in the creativity of that musical renaissance. In later years, he shared the stage with many luminaries such as the Who, Herman’s Hermits, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Womack and others. He appeared at the “Topping the Rock” Ceremony at the Rock ’n Roll Hall of Fame, the Tri-C Rock Festival and the Undercurrents Showcases. Now living in Santa Cruz, California, he continues to play with many of the area’s top musicians and has been nurturing his growing interest in songs that explore the intersection of human struggle and the natural world. His newest album release entitled Hope And Courage was produced and arranged by his son, Ethan, and mixed by Dave O’Donnell, producer/engineer for James Taylor and Keith Richards.

Maetar’s music can be described as “World Groove Eclectic Avant Funk Jazz with a Middle Eastern Twist”. Imagine if Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix had a musical baby in the Delta of the Nile, and George Clinton was the midwife, it might sound like Maetar.
Itai Disraeli – Bass
Hagai Izraeli – Horns
Richard Fultineer – Drums
Brothers Itai (bass) and Hagai (horns) were born in war torn Israel on a kibbutz and started making music at the age of six and four. The whole family use to gather around their grandfather’s table every Saturday and jam. They grew into legitimate musicians; Hagai became a soloist with Israeli orchestras and Itai became a celebrated and sought after bassist, winning “Bass Player of the year”.
Determined to use their music as an instrument of peace and joined by renowned drummer/world percussionist, Richard Fultineer, Maetar forged their sound and style.
Their concerts for human rights and peace have brought Arab, Israeli, Muslim, Christian, and Buddhist musicians and communities together. Maetar’s music is a declaration of peace, calling on Hebrew and Arabic melodies, filtering it through a rigorous jazz perspective, and the exuberance of funk, soul, afrobeat, and rock. Playing native instruments from the world over, employing rhythms and melodic modes from various cultures, Maetar brothers embody the universal language of music with their original sound, inspirational melodies, seductive grooves and inventive use of modern technology.
Maetar as created a body of work that has been featured in concert halls, festivals, movies and television. Playing and recording with great musicians from around the world such as James Gadson, Jackson Browne, Roger Waters, Susanna Hoff (Bangles), Tony Allen (Fella Kuti), Trilok Gurtu, Larry Coryell, Nishat Khan, Prince Diabate of Guinea and Omar Faruk Tekbilek to name a few, helped the band shape its sound and inspired it to dig deeper.
The new Maetar cycle of works celebrates the group’s forging a new musical path. Desiring to create an original musical language that will express their passion for peace and reach across borders, the band once declined public appearances for 3 years and woodshed in a loft over a vintage pirate outfit factory. The mindset of deep listening as foundation for peace led to the operative mode “CPWO” – Completely Present and Wide-Open – playing live in the same room, no charts, overdubs, click track and clichés. Instead, creating an environment in which all participants interact equally, listening deeply, being in the moment without preconceived notions and patiently exploring the elements of music.
This discipline led to many hours of experimentation with the sounds of diverse instruments, rhythms, modes, grooving, looping, layering and shaping. The band recorded the sessions, analyzed and discussed intent and impact, which led to greater communication and expression, and to the development of the Urban Crawl, Abstract One Drop, Nu World Groove, Tone Poems and Meditative Soundscapes styles. This is the evolution of Maetar’s signature sound and the cycle of works. The tones and sounds the band produces create a sonic wave that is encoded with peace, freedom, and creativity.

Arrington de Dionyso will present “Voice Mask” a musical performance ritual utilizing improvisatory structures to showcase an entrancing virtuosity with a variety of extended vocal techniques such as traditional Tuvan throatsinging combined with simple elements such as aluminum foil and PVC pipes to enchance the “soul” of vocal sound.
As a “punk ethnomusicologist gone rogue”, Arrington has traveled the world in search of primordially potent sounds. He’s worked extensively with the Jathilan trance music traditions of East Java, the Master Musicians of Jajouka (Morocco), and is a devoted student of Siberian shamanism. www.arrington.bandcamp.com

MORE ABOUT CHINGIZ KAM
In Chingiz’s own words: “I was born on the banks of the mighty Siberian river Yenisei and raised in the city of Kyzyl, Republic of Tuva (Russia, Siberia). I have the title of Brown Bear Shaman. In my family, both on my fathe’s side and on my mother’s side, there were ancestors of shamans. Ancestors come from Tes-Khemsky and Ovyursky districts, the Republic of Tuva, which is located on the border with Mongolia.Childhood and youth were mostly spent at the shepherd’s camp of my grandparents. They have kept their culture of nomadic life up to the present. Every vacation I came to them and helped them with the housework. During this time, my special connection and love for nature and animals was formed. Just like all Tuvans always, I pastured sheep and goats, sang songs in the steppes and in the mountains. I recognized life around me through the prism of Tuvan traditions.During this period, I met many spirits of the mountains, taiga, and rivers of my native places. They sometimes appeared in the form of deer, bear, wolf, snowy owl, eagle and other animals, and sometimes as strong strange short winds. All my life I clearly felt that someone was watching me closely. They were invisible defenders.
When I was very ill, my ancestors came in dreams in the guise of various familiar people and fumigated with the help of artysh (juniper), after which I quickly began to recover. I have never been able to get lost in a dense forest or in an unfamiliar area. I felt many strange inexplicable things very accurately and my correct decisions were formed from this. Some people felt that I was a shaman and asked me to make charms and amulets. Ancestral shamans also gave life lessons and the necessary knowledge for shamanic practice to one degree or another. They began to actively “work” at the time when I was about 27 years old. At that time, I had already graduated from the university and worked in my specialty. Any technique stopped working next to me, because of this there were problems at work. Reality seemed to become unreal and I experienced health problems, but the results of all tests showed that I was healthy. This went on for a couple of years, until the ancestors of the shamans “in their own ways” found me a mentor – a practicing Tuvan shaman, who is also a member of the “Adyg Eeren” society.I was initiated by three strongest shamans of the “Adyg Eeren” society, one of whom was the Supreme Shaman of Tuva. So I started my practice in a shamanic clinic in Kyzyl.”Chingiz will be the first shaman of his lineage to travel to the West Coast of the United States.

With her background in flamenco, classical, and contemporary dance Lakshmi was fortunate to quickly be embraced by artists in Spain and has come to work aside great artists such as Manuel Molina, Remedios Amaya, Joselito Mendez, Antonio Moya, La Hermenia, Carmen Ledesma, Antonio Rey and La Tona.

In this 4 class series, we will teach you the essentials to drum and sing yourself into peace using grounding rhythms and easy chants.

This is a 4 class series with a additional makeup class. The dates are weekly as follows

Saturday Feb 17 from 2-4 pm
Saturday Feb 24 from 2-4 pm
Saturday March 2 from 2-4 pm
Makeup class Thursday Feb 29 from 7-9 pm
Introduction
Singing & drumming date back to ancient cultures where it was a regular community activity. The container was held for you to express yourself and both you and the community were strengthened as a result. In our modern electronic culture with its tendency to isolate people and minimize human physical connections, we have forgotten these natural skills.
What you will learn
Through a series of practices we will help you regain these skills slowly and methodically so you will feel progress every step of the way. As you continue to work with these practices, they will become more natural resulting in physical, emotional and spiritual benefits.
What to bring
If you have a drum you are comfortable with, please bring it. We will have drums available.
We will start right at 2pm so be early and get settled in.

Includes all classes including the makeup class:

JEREMY SOLEKCRW Radio Host / DJ / Recording Artist / Event Producer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Jeremy Sole is on a mission to show how music is a singular universal language, and that each culture’s rhythms and melodies are no more than slang – different accents of the same mother tongue. Collecting vinyl from around the world for over 30 years, his DJ sets and remixes juxtapose global sounds into a sonic ritual for the “genre non-conforming”, blending or downright transcending era, style and tempo.
Sole has had the honor of sharing the stage and/or recording in the studio with hundreds of his inspirations over his career including Stevie Wonder, Roy Ayers, Parliament Funkadelic, Chaka Khan, Moses Sumney, James Blake and many more. Gilles Peterson named Sole “#2 DJ Of The Year, 2011” as well as “Radio Show Of The Year, 2014”.
Sole was the last DJ to open for both Ray Charles and Gil Scott-Heron on what turned out to be their final concerts. He deejayed for Sly Stone’s birthday party, worked on music for a year with Ms. Lauryn Hill and enlisted the same Daptone musicians as Amy Winehouse to produce a live, all-analog reimagining of the 1976 classic “Golden Years” for David Bowie in his final days. He was asked to spin traditional New Orleans funeral dirges atop a giant animatronic octopus with Susan Sarandon, leading a procession of hundreds through Burning Man to bring Timothy Leary’s ashes to the temple. It’s been a wild and freaky ride.
Sole is most widely known for his weekly KCRW radio show, now approaching its 17th year, where he helped break many now-major artists with their first radio plays including Black Pumas, Hiatus Kaiyote, Michael Kiwanuka, The Shakes (now Alabama Shakes). He aired the world radio debuts of music for Santana, Chicano Batman, Gary Clark Jr, Yusuf (Cat Stevens), Aaron Frazer, Gaslamp Killer, Saul Williams and countless others. This is his weekly “mixtape love letter” to the world, weaving a rich, soulful tapestry of culture and emotion. LISTEN BACK TO THE ARCHIVES AT WWW.KCRW.COM/JEREMYSOLE
As Co-Founder and resident DJ of AFRO FUNKÉ, Sole and his partners drew a loyal crowd to the now-legendary Zanzibar in Santa Monica every week for 15 years. This was his arena for Afrobeat, Latin, Brazilian, Jamaican and other sounds from around the world. Hundreds of international artists and deejays joined him on stage over the years – memories of Prince and his entourage on the dancefloor and impromptu jam sessions with Stevie Wonder, Zap Mama and other legends.
LE FRIQUE SONIQUE, his newest incarnation, is the only recurring event he currently curates and produces, flying in his absolute bucket list of world renowned DJ and musician friends to join him at his monthly soundclash at the Moroccan Lounge, on the outskirts of Little Tokyo and the DTLA Arts District.
Sole has also produced official remixes for BECK (US), FEMI KUTI (Nigeria), JAZZANOVA (Germany), THIEVERY CORPORATION (US), ALSARAH (Sudan), SOLA ROSA (New Zealand), NOVALIMA (Peru), ROCKY DAWUNI (Ghana), QUANTIC (Colombia), DOM LA NENA (Brasil) and others.
