This clip is from “The re: appropriation Show” at the Nikki Patin Project that went down on September 17th, 2009.
Vocals: Nikki Patin
Harp: Marta Cook
Rhythm: Adam Sieverson
Song: Back to Black by Amy Winehouse
The music of people of color is often covered or appropriated by White artists, without much credit or money given to the people and cultures who created the music originally. “The re: appropriation Show” features musicians/vocalists of color, in collaboration with White musicians, who cover or “re-appropriate” music written by White artists. “The re: appropriation Show” pokes a bit of fun at the notion of owning sound and flips perceptions of who should play what. “The re: appropriation Show” kicks off a new monthly series, The Nikki Patin Project, located at Barbara & Barbara Gallery (1021 N. Western, Chicago, IL). The Nikki Patin Project is curated by Nikki Patin (HBO Def Poet/Gay Games Gold Medalist/Phat Grrrl Superhero) and features live music, burlesque, DJs and spoken word and starring the best in avant-garde, entertaining artmakers. The Nikki Patin Project goes down the third Thursday of every month, from 7-10pm, beginning September 17th, 2009. FREE. Ages 16+.
