Having already pitched up in such iconic places as Berlin, Toronto, London, Madrid, Melbourne and Cape Town, the Red Bull Music Academy will be taking New York in 2012… And they want you to join them!
The latest stop on the world-conquering Red Bull Music Academy tour is perhaps the most influential city of all time, a place that’s been inspiring artists since its earliest incarnation: New York City.
NYC has been immortalized in the pantheon of music - incubating genres like hip-hop, disco, house, bop, no-wave, and post-punk among many others. It’s a place where people from all nations collide, bringing music, culture and attitude with them.
So it’s perhaps not all that surprising that the Red Bull Music Academy is gearing up to become part of this sonic kaleidoscope later this year. From September 30 until November 2, the globe-trotting music lab and festival will set up shop in the city for five weeks of workshops, concerts, club nights, and all-round musical extravaganzas held all across the boroughs.
Already signed up to take part in the Academy are the legendary likes of post-minimalist genius Steve Reich, jazz funkster Don Blackman, hip-hop producer Pete Rock, soul and funk icon Roy Ayers, house pioneer Frankie Knuckles, urban Afrobeaters Antibalas, super-producer Mark Ronson and the legendary Chuck D.
