Putty Hill film screening + Q&A w/ Director Matt Porterfield

Friends and family of Cory, a young man who has died of an overdose, gather at a Baltimore-area karaoke bar for his wake and compare stories about him. Gradually, as it becomes clear that there are many holes in their recollections about Cory, they fill in the blanks by talking about things that reveal aspects of their own lives. Among those mourning him and searching for meaning are his cousin Jenny, his sister Zoe and his brother James.

Alfred Yun comes to An die Musik Live to perform songs from his latest album, Voice and Phenomenon, which explores the relationship between love and violence. It uses the medium of the voice — gibberish, games, poems, singing, spoken word, laughter, and more — to explore different forms of love and violence. The album invites the listener into an intimate account of these disparate voices, sounds, and experiences. It is the most personal and revealing work of his career.

For this performance Justin and his band will offer a tribute to the timeless and timely music of Fela Kuti at An die Musik Live! Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì was a Nigerian musician and political activist. He is regarded as the principal innovator of Afrobeat, a Nigerian music genre that combines West African music with American funk and jazz.

Justin’s versatility will be on display in what promises to be a dynamic performance of classic Fela tunes - and may feature Justin’s own compositions to align with the vibe of the evening.
