Troubadours and Fools: An Evening Soirée
Saturday, July 31st, 7pm-9pm
Free, donations welcome
Richard Wagner coined the term “Gesamtkunstwerk” to describe a synthesis of
the arts, or total art, which is a union of all artistic expression. In this modern
era the body and soul of art has been reduced to a commodity that often
serves a purpose aimed at little more than financial gain. The “Troubadour”
and the “Fool” are personalities often attributed to the true artist who struggles
against contemporary society’s commercial vision of art.
It is our pleasure to extend an invitation to attend a night of music, dance,
projection images, canvas art, storytelling, fine food and drink. Our little Soirée
looks to create a satisfying evening of the senses through community among
artists and enthusiasts, as it is our view that one cannot be had without the other.
Imagine if you will, the sketches of a Jazz composition as it is given breath by
the musicians conceiving of and performing the piece. Each artist plays off
of the feeling and creativity of the others to paint a canvas of deep emotion
and expression while the tie that holds the piece together is the “head” or
the compositional theme. With “Troubadours and Fools” as the head for the
evening, a collection of artists will attempt to create a performance that lives
completely in the moment.

TRANCE (SYNOPSIS) by Edgar Nkosi White
Sunday July 18th 5-7 pm
Tribes Garden
285 East 3rd St, 2nd Fl
info@tribes.org
www.tribes.org
TRANCE is a performance arts piece created by God. It is an odyssey through the life and work of Langston Hughes as interpreted by myself (Edgar Nkosi White) through music and spoken word.
For all of Langston’s life he was searching, first for his father and then for the Russian Black poet Alexander Pushkin even before he knew who Pushkin was. In Langston’s beginning was the word. The sound of words would send him into trance and through that utterance he found a way to transcend the sadness of the world.
Langston was always a very private person. His pain he kept to himself. His laughter he gave to the world. He was always in exile even before he traveled.
Now there are many ways to kill an artist. Gun or knife or hanging by a tree, but one of the most effective ways is to make him famous and then place him on the prescribed reading list in some high school or college where generations of students can safely ignore him into irrelevancy. (The canon) This can be called death by anthology and many have gone this route after having fought so hard to acheive supposed fame. (Paul Laurence Dunbar is another classic example) Langston always said: “the cruellest thing that they did to Christ was not crucifixion. It was making Christ become Christmas.”
He however has suffered a similar fate by becoming that plump amiable Negro who wrote Just Plain Simple.
The point of this performance piece is to show a very different Langston. The real and vital Langston who was a radical and brought unto the world stage so many Caribbean African and even Russian writers to the attention of publishers through his translation of their work into English. Poets like Garcia Lorca, Nicolas Guillen, and the Haitaian, Jacque Roumain). Langston who was a restless traveler from America to Russia, Cuba to Africa. He had a special love for Haiti and the Haitian revolution since his uncle was the first black ambassador to Haiti from the United States.
The work is called TRANCE because Langston said that the artist must either live in a constant state of trance or else risk waking and drown.
My job as an artist is to get closer and closer, and closer still, to my audience. To enter first their heads and then their hearts . And if necessary, to create a heart for those who never had one and then enter. For trance.

From the Curator:
I conceived of this ART EXHIBITION and SALE as an opportunity to support one of
New York’s most precious resources…A Gathering of the Tribes…”Tribes is an historical
(20 years) arts and literary salon,a gem here on the Lower East Side,dedicated to an
diverse view and eclectic presentation of music,visual art,poetry,prose,performance and so much more…
As an arch conceptualist I dreamed of an installation that would bring together the
best of our kind with a body of works which would represent 30 to 35 years of art and culture making in New York City and its greater environs,art and the artists who have literally changed and will change the way we look at and think and hear the world.
So here it is “A STARTER KIT FOR COLLECTORS”…
If one astute or smart or savvy or forward thinking individual, institution or group would
recognize and purchase the show as a compendium of that 30 to 35 years they would indeed possess the representation of one of the most significant eras of human development of understanding and the human interface generated by that understanding that art from this nerve center we call NYC, creates for the good and in its turn turn generates more…and what is more-will,by that purchase,in turn support a astute and savvy and insightful and forward thinking organization…A GATHERING OF THE TRIBES…

Tribes Presents: A Night with Matthew Shipp! 03/14
“Shipp’s playing is like some kind of inverted, dark-matter version of whatever you think a jazz pianist is going to sound like.
- Mark D Fefer, Seattle Weekly
March 14th, 5-7 pm
$15.00 at the door. 285 E. 3rd St. 2nd Floor NYC 10009
Between Avenue C & D
TeL: 212 674 8262
All proceeds benefit A Gathering of the Tribes nonprofit.
Mr. Shipp has reached the holy grail of jazz in that he possesses a unique style on his instrument that is all of his own- and he’s one of the few in jazz that can say so. Mr. Shipp has recorded a lot of albums with many labels but his 2 most enduring relationships have been with two labels. In the 1990s he recorded a number of chamber jazz CDs with Hatology, a release that charted a new course for jazz that, to this day, the jazz world has not realized. In the 2000s Mr. Shipp has been curator and director of the label Thirsty Ear’s “Blue Series” and has also recorded for them. In this collection of recordings he has generated a whole body of work that is visionary, far reaching and many faceted . Matthew Shipp is truly one of the leading lights of a new generation of jazz giants.
