DJ SHANTI PRIYA

Potovali bomo prek zgodovine Bollywooda od najlepših zimzelenih melodij pa vse do super hitov sodobnega časa, indijska filmska glasba je namreč od svojega rojstva s prvim indijskim zvočnim filmom leta 1931 doživela že nešteto preobrazb. Vrhunec večera bo prijeten bonus – nastop bollywoodskih plesalk. Ni za zamudit!

Bollywood Flashmob Afterparty

In May we had our first Bollywood Flashmob in Slovenia, which was organized by Marion Trotte, a french filmmaker living in Slovenia & shooting a documentary on the Slovenian Bollywood scene, and by dance teacher Sylvia Valentine, who was teaching us the choreographies.  Hearing sounds of Dhoom Machale, Chamak Challo and Kolaveri Di on the streets of Ljubljana brought tears into my eyes :) 
Now it's time for a well deserved afterparty. A Bollywood night in Jalla Jalla is my big thanks to everybody participating in this and filling my heart with joy. Let's dance again :)

BOLLYWOOD FLASHMOB AFTERPARTY

June 5th 2014

Jalla Jalla / AKC Metelkova mesto

starts at: 22.00

no entry fee

V soboto 17. maja se je na Mestnem trgu v Ljubljani zgodil prvi Bollywood flashmob v Sloveniji. Ko so zadoneli prvi indijski ritmi, je nekaj deset udeležencev presenetilo mimoidoče z Bollywoodskimi plesnimi gibi, ki so se jih naučili pod vodstvom Sylvie Valentine. Pobuda za flashmob je sicer prišla iz strani Marion Trotte, francoske filmarke, ki trenutno živi v Sloveniji in snema dokumentarec o skupnosti slovenskih oboževalcev Bollywooda.

Po dveh mesecih brezplačnih priprav so zaplesali člani KUOD Bayani, Cora Viento, Erasmus študentje in posamezniki, ki so za dogodek izvedeli preko socialnih omrežij. Najmlajša udeleženka jih je štela 8, najstarejša pa 49 let, pridružili pa so se nam tudi študentje iz Indije, Kazakhstana, Kyrgyzstana, Nizozemske, Italije in Češke.

Hvala vsem za sodelovanje, zdaj pa nas čaka še zasluženo druženje: Bollywood afterparty v Jalla Jalli!

Za glasbo in vzdušje bo poskrbela Shanti Priya, ki vas bo popeljala od klasične glasbe sitarjev do funka in r'n’b-ja, od pobožnih bhajanov do elektronskih štanc, od ghazalov do hip-hopa in od najbolj mastnih punjabi beatov do srce parajočih balad.

Vstop prost!

Pa še to! Tekom cele flashmob akcije smo zbirali tudi denar za dečka Reneja in njegovo operacijo. Več o tem in kje lahko darujete na http://www.helprene.com/
Hvala.

tickets: 6 / 8 / 10 eur

Po lanskoletnem nastopu Le1fa, v Šiško prihaja še njegov bolj razvpiti njujorški kolega Michael Quattlebaum alias MYKKI BLANCO s svojim eksperimentalno odbitim in s transvestitsko estetiko ter z riot grrrls tematiko začinjenim hip hopom.

V podporo Mykkiju bo nastopila domača naveza dua It’s Everyone Else in N’Toka, ki bo s tem nastopom sklenila skupno turnejo po Evropi.

Mykki Blanco je umetniško ime ameriškega pesnika in performerja Michaela Davida Quattlebauma Jr. Quattlebaum je interdisciplinarni umetnik, ki za izražanje svojih splošnih idej kot performativni medij uporablja sodobni hip hop. Odraščal je ob selitvah med San Mateom v Kaliforniji in Raleighom v Severni Karolini, vendar je pri šestnajstih letih pobegnil v New York. Tam ni ostal dolgo in se kmalu spet namenil v Kalifornijo, študij pa ga je pritegnil na Art Institute of Chicago. Ko je študij opustil, se je spet preselil v New York in leta 2010 objavil svojo prvo pesniško zbirko From the Silence of Duchamp to the Noise of Boys. Quattlebaum kot svoje vplive navaja umetnike in pisatelje, kot so Marcel Duchamp, Anaïs Nin, Bob Kaufman in Jean Cocteau. Leta 2011 je začel nastopati z dvema novima projektoma – pod imenom No Fear izvaja silovit industrial rock, kot Mykki Blanco pa glamurozen getovski rap v slogu underground feminističnega gibanja riot grrrl. Mykki se je veličastno pojavila leta 2012 z EP-jem Mykki Blanco and the Mutant Angels, ki mu je lani sledil še EP Betty Rubble: The InitiationNew York Times ga je v profilu označil z besedami “od najstniškega ubežnika do hip hop transvestita”.

Na predvečer kulturnega praznika se obeta podzemna zabava v čast našemu največjemu pisatelju in razvratnemu umetniku. To ni večer poezije in sonetnih vencev, to bo večer razuzdanega elektro housa, mastnega breakbeata, perverznega techna in podobnih nemarnih elektronskih zvrsti. V goste prihajata žena in mož, sicer člana Safari crew-ja, ZANA in N'TOKO!
In kot se seveda za FPA spodobi si bomo zopet zastavili večno vprašanje: WHO IS THE FILTHIEST PERSON ALIVE?

Vstopnina: pred 22.00=0 yen, po 22.00=3 eur

Hair code! Prisoten bo tudi dežurni frizer.

These are my two favorite Bollywood songs of 2013. The first one is really beautiful with a spectacular dance and costumes, while the second one is silly, but it got under my skin while I was in India since it was such a big hit you could hear it from every corner.

SAFARI vol.18

Klub Gromka

(Metelkova)

23.00.-4.00.

3 euros

Safari se vrača! Pred nami je nova sezona elektronsko eklektičnih dogodkov v Gromki, začenjamo pa jo s prekaljenima gostoma iz Hrvaške, ki slišita na ime Florence Foster Fanclub. Duo, ki je nastal iz producentskih projektov Le Chocolat Noir in Zarkoff obuja zelo old school elektro prijeme, oziroma če smo bolj natančni, body-pop. NJune temačne sint odisejade z zasanjanimi vokali nam v misli prikličejo vse od Kraftwerkov do Throbbing Gristle, postindustrijski zvok pa v novem kontekstu deluje ponovno aktualen. Dogodek bo dodatno popestril eden našin najljubših ljubljanskih dj-jev, ZZZ-jevec Nubis, ki prvič prihaja na dafari in bo sezono otvoril, kot zna le on. Tudi to jesen v line-upu ne bodo manjkali rezidenti N'toko, PlankTon in Zana, niti vizualec Koala™. Se vidimo!

The summer of Shanti Priya

This summer seems to be quite Bollywood oriented for me. After several dance workshops and my event Om Shanti Om in Gromka, I played at kids' workshop on one Saturday morning in the center of Ljubljana, which was quite fun. I was also in-charge for 'Indian make-up' - girls got bindis on their foreheads and kajal around their eyes :) 

There are two upcoming events in August, one will be in Jalla Jalla (August 10th, see the info below) and one at various locations around Ljubljana on August 30th. Shanti Priya hopes to see you around!

But that's not it! My favorite Slovenian Bollywood dancer Sylvia Valentine is organizing a workshop with Subhash Viman Gorania, an amazing choreographer and dancer from India. Everybody most welcome to see his performance or, if you're into dancing, to attend his lessons. 

Bollywood night in Jalla Jalla

DJ: Shanti Priya

August 10th at 22.00

Jalla Jalla, AKC Metelkova

Ljubljana

Bollywood je skovanka iz besed Bombay in Hollywood in označuje eno največjih filmskih industrij na svetu. Najmočnejša aduta filmov, nastalih na indijski podcelini, sta glasba in ples, ki ne manjkata v nobeni zgodbi. Bollywood glasba je od svojega rojstva s prvim indijskim zvočnim filmom leta 1931 doživela nešteto preobrazb. Od klasične glasbe sitarjev do funka in r'n'b-ja, od pobožnih bhajanov do elektronskih štanc, od ghazalov do hiphopa in od najbolj mastnih punjabi beatov do srce parajočih balad. Vsemu temu bomo lahko prisluhnili na glasbenem potovanju v Indijo, kamor nas bo iz Jalla Jalle popeljala Shanti Priya.

Safari & BeatMyth at Lent

Here are some photos from Safari's trip to Maribor. We played at Lent's Mladinin oder on Saturday, 29th of June. PlankTon and N'toko performed as BeatMyth along with Karmakoma from Krško and then all three of us deejayed at the after party. Lately every trip to Maribor has been fun, but this one was the best so far . Everybody was so wonderful and we had the crowd dancing and smiling until the morning. Thanks to the organizers and thanks to everyone who showed up and made this night so amazing, hope to see you again soon :)

I took the photos from Creative Underground's facebook page. They were taken by Nejc Ketiš, you can check his work at his Shine Photography website.

Wut it is? Wut is up? Wut is wut?

Here are some photos from the amazing show Le1f had in Kino Šiška last Friday. He is such a charismatic performer and his next level music led the audience into ecstasy. It was so much fun, dancing with him and everybody on the stage and singing along to Wut- definitely a gig I will never forget :)

Big thanks to Kino Šiška for making this Safari's special edition come true!

And thanks to Aleš Rosa for these photos.

If you want to see more photos, you can check David Lotrič' flicker, he made some amazing snaps:

ŽEN

 A week after Le1f in Kino Šiška, Safari kru is organizing one more event, this time it will be just a concert and not an all night party.
 Žen is a Croatian feminist activist band from Zagreb and they will perform in Gromka on the 20th June. You can expect  some wonderful melodies, post-rock guitars and strong lyrics. 
See you one more time before the summer :)

Četrtek, 20.junij ob 22.00, Klub Gromka, vstop prost!

ŽEN je trio iz Zagreba, ki je nekoč slišal na ime Ž/BUKA. Evo, Saro in Ivono smo si zapomnili kot aktivistke, feministke in pomembne akterke zagrebške DIY alternativne scene, predvsem pa po njihovem izjemno melodičnem post-rocku z močnimi besedili. Pod novim imenom ŽEN (triu glasbenic se je pridružila še vizualna umetnica Tanja Minarik)so za dunajsko založbo Unrecords ravno izdale album "I onda je sve počelo". Ta je poln pop inovativnosti in tenkočutnih vokalnih linij, na trenutke skoraj plesne ritme pa vseskozi pretresajo mogočni post-rockovski kitarskimi izbruhi. ŽEN so izjemen primer benda, ki svoj aktivizem živi tako v "real life-u" kot tudi v svoji glasbi.

Pred in po koncertu bo za glasbeno vzdušje skrbela dj ekipa Safarija.
