LIBATION w/ Ian Friday & DJ Sabine ::Thurs. 1/28





PRAISE…PERSPIRE…PARTICIPATE!
On January 28th the members of the Soul Revolution and Global Soul family will gather together to do all three at the mecca of Global Soul, Libation.

Special guest DJ Sabine, Queen of Brooklyn Mecca will share the decks with Ian Friday to bring healing to the hearts and souls of NYC. Music and dance are two of the best mediums to promote togetherness and therapy. In the wake of the tragedy in Haiti, the Libation family will open its doors to the organization Urban Sanctuary to help raise money and supplies for the earthquake relief.

DJ Sabine has built a reputation for her fiery, spiritual sets. As the resident DJ and co-creator of Libation, producer Ian Friday delivers musical sets that send the faithful home on a natural high. Together these two patrons of Global Soul knock the socks off of WMC with their collaborative parties. On the 28th, they plan to bring some sunshine to the moonlit skies of Manhattan – rocking the Sullivan Room until the sun comes up.

On hand will be resident visual artist Concep and hosts Afro Mosaic Soul helping to raise the good vibe and energy to epic proportions. This incredible night will also serve as the birthday celebration for one of the founding members of Afro Mosaic Soul, Ebony Kuyateh.

LIBATION w/ Ian Friday ( Pre-MLK Party) :: Thurs. 1/14

The Dream Begins At LIBATION

A new year…a new decade…a new opportunity to continue the legacy of House music.
In 2009, greater awareness was brought to the Global Soul movement, Manchildblack and Ian Friday created a vehicle to gain further traction with the Soul Revolution. Libation’s stage hosted artists like Kindred the Family Soul, Nathan Adams, Ovasoul7 and more. Ian Friday shared the decks with Osunlade, Boddhi Satva, Ron Trent and Rich Medina, just to name a few. Libation was named Top Party for 2009 by F.A.M.E NYC. Even stars of screen and stage have passed through to experience the Mecca of Global Soul.

The Soul Revolution plans to enter 2010 with records and mics blazing! In January, the Libation family continues to come on strong, with Ian Friday all night long on the 14th. Friday morning has never looked brighter after a night of Friday, Ian Friday that is. Prepare for a set that will leave the dance floor charred. Libation is serving pure fire for its pre-MLK Day Celebration. The House inferno continues on the 28th as Ian Friday is joined by DJ Sabine, Queen of Brooklyn Mecca. DJ Sabine has built a solid reputation for delivering soulful sets; she rocked in the New Year at Intimate Sessions. Side by side these two powerhouses will deliver enough heat to melt Antarctica.

Resident visual artist Concep and hosts Afro Mosaic Soul will be in the house to stoke the flames as Libation continues to set the temperature for the House community of New York City.
Libation is the central destination for the Soul Revolution and Global Soul music. With its bi-weekly sessions of celebration and audio and visual stimulation, Libation, held at the Sullivan Room, not only delivers drenched t-shirts, it also provides salvation for the spirit.

Martin Luther King dreamed of world of freedom and flowing synchronicity. Libation is the realization of that dream. Viva the dreamers…Viva House Music!

LIBATION w/ Ian Friday & Karizma :; Thurs. 12/10








Tis the season for joy, good tidings and revolution – Soul Revolution that is.

Are you ready for a revolution? Do you want to know what the Soul Revolution is? Well, here is your personal invitation to view the Soul Revolution in full swing as we celebrate the birthday of the lyrical minister Manchildblack on Thursday, December 10th.

That’s right; Libation is receiving a soul makeover, but never fear, everything that has made Libation the hottest underground party in NYC is still in effect. The minister of sound, Ian Friday, and the lyrical minister are just taking the party to the next level.

Concep, resident visual artist, MTV’s Art Battles winner and new millennium modernist, will make blank canvases breathe with life as he creates future masterpieces on the spot. Hosts Afro Mosaic Soul will dazzle the crowd with choreography, floor work and acrobatics that rival the Cirque du Soleil as the minister of sound will guide his disciples through a euphonious caravan that is sure to deliver pure exaltation.

Joining in on the night’s soulful sojourn is special guest DJ Karizma. This Baltimorean prodigy began his DJ career at 13. After teaming up with DJ Spen, Karizma went on to create remixes for Kenny Bobien, SuSu Bobien, Jocelyn Brown, Lenny Kravitz and Mary J. Blige just to name a few. It was during this time that Karizma created the "deepah dubs" and "deepah ones" moniker for his sound. On his own, formed Kohesive Productions and has brought his sound to Japan, United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and many other countries. Many of his productions have been championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Louie Vega, Simon Dunmore, DJ Spinna, Marques Wyatt, Tony Humphries and many other house DJs and producers. After setting 2007 alight with his award winning solo album A Mind of Its Own, Karizma has returned with the highly anticipated sequel: A Mind of Its Own-Version 2.0.

Also, you never know who is going to stop by to Libate and hydrate their spirit – Leon, Sahr Ngaujah, Kindred- The Family Soul – the only way to find out is to stop in yourself.

Libation is the central destination for the Soul Revolution and the future of Global Soul. With its bi-weekly sessions of celebration and audio and visual stimulation, Libation started as a small gathering at the Sapphire Lounge and has grown to set the standard for the underground scene in the Big Apple with its new home at the Sullivan Room. As the lyrical minister and the minister of sound, Manchildblack and Ian Friday have created the ultimate venue to showcase Global Soul, the future of dance music, and the Soul Revolution, the community and culture that will support the Global Soul Movement into the next decade of the new millennium.

Jump N Funk & Libation Celebrate FELA KUTI :: Thurs. 10/15






JUMP N FUNK & LIBATION

Present
FELABRATION @ S.O.B.'s!


(A Fête For the Birthday of Fela Kuti, the Knitting Factory Records Release Best of the Black President and the New Broadway Musical, FELA!)

It is rare that an artist erupts onto the musical landscape, defines a genre, shakes the world to its core and departs too soon leaving a legacy that can fill the night sky. Jazz had John Coltrane. Rock had Jimi Hendrix. Afrobeat had Fela Kuti. On THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15th two of NYC's most beloved soirees-Rich Medina's acclaimed Jump N Funk and the popular Tea Party Music & Manchildblack throwdown Libation-come together with Giant Step, Knitting Factory Records, FELA! The Musical, The Museum for African Art & S.O.B.'s to pay homage to the life of Nigeria’s warrior poet and the Godfather of Global Soul with FELABRATION!


FELABRATION takes its audience through an interactive journey of the life of Africa’s most prolific musical pioneer with a documentary, Music is the Weapon, live drummers, special performance by dance virtuosos Afro Mosaic Soul and leading the evening’s tribute are DJ Rich Medina, the global ambassador of Jump N Funk and DJ Ian Friday, minister of sound for Libation , ground zero for the Soul Revolution.


Fela Kuti was born October 15, 1938 in Abeokuta, Nigeria. In 1961 he formed Koola Lobitos in London, two years later, he created “Afrobeat”, which was inspired by James Brown, the Yoruba culture, high life and jazz. He founded a commune/recording studio called the Kalakuta Republic, complete with his own private nightclub, The Shrine.


His music served as a rallying cry for the disenfranchised, critiquing the military government and made Fela not only a pop star but a political figure as well. People took to the streets singing his songs and the military responded by viciously harassing Fela, jailing him and nearly killing him on several occasions. One million people attended his funeral in Nigeria.


The legacy of Fela Kuti continues to live on with the October 27th release of Best of the Black President on the newly revamped Knitting Factory Records. Over the next 18 months, remasters of all Fela CD's will be re-released in unique digi-packs w/ the original artwork. KFR will also release all the titles on vinyl for the first time in North America.


To further prove the cultural significance of this legend, the upcoming Broadway musical FELA! brings the colorful life of Fela Kuti front and center through a provocative hybrid of concert, dance and musical theatre. FELA! features arrangements by Aaron Johnson and Antibalas with direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones.


October 15th only comes once a year. Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate the life and work of an extraordinary man.


Doors: 7:30pm
Screening: 8pm
Party: 9pm


$12 in advance/$15 at the door.
