Exclusive: lalahhathaway curates L.A. edition of Future x Sounds series
, a new multi-city music and arts series. Future x Sounds LA is set for Aug. 31 at Hollywood’s Ford Theatres. The show is designed to celebrate the city’s local creative community and underscore the role that music and education play in driving social change.
In a release announcing the event, Hathaway said, “I have studied and created with some of the West Coast’s finest — Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Quik, Thundercat, Terrace Martin and Anderson .Paak … some of the realest professors anyone could ever have. What I’ve realized about our music tribe in L.A. is that while our art and our beliefs have consistently fallen outside genre boxes and industry norms, our music is rooted in real skill and real soul.
The Future x Sounds series will officially kick off Aug. 17 at New York’s Marcus Garvey Park, saluting the 50anniversary of the Harlem Cultural Festival, aka Black Woodstock. Done in partnership with Summerstage, the concert is curated by Neal Ludevig, a founder of the Harlem Cultural Festival, with musical direction by Igmar Thomas . Talib Kweli will serve as co-host; performers include singer-songwriter Alice Smith. A Philadelphia edition is slated for Oct. 4 at World Live Café.
