“In Brooklyn you can feel the rhythms of the world. Moving from neighborhood to neighborhood the pulse of the people and the sounds you encounter create the artistic wellspring out of which so many musical art forms live and flourish. On my block, depending on the time of day, I can hear the lilting sounds of a steel pan, the uplifting melody of gospel, the pulsing energy of hip hop, the dance flow of House, the soaring voices of R&B, the rhythms of the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa. They all live here. I can hear all of that without leaving my stoop. The sounds from around the world color the borough of Brooklyn, sonically binding us together in the clubs, parks, block parties, festivals, taxis, subways, wherever we are. There is music. From Brooklyn to the world and back. Brooklyn is music.” —Brooklyn DJ Ian FridayGive our latest Spotify playlist “Brooklyn Soul” a spin and catch Ian Friday close out the free First Saturday celebration with a hot mix in homage to his hometown of Brooklyn. -- source link
