RICHIE HAVENS
Richie Havens is gifted with one of the most recognizable voices
in popular music. His fiery, poignant, always soulful singing
style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from
the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960's. For three
decades, Havens has used his music to convey messages of brotherhood
and personal freedom. With over twenty albums released and a rigorous
touring schedule, he continues to view his calling as a high one.
As he told The Denver Post, "I really sing songs that move
me. I'm not in show business; I'm in the communications business.
That's what it's about for me."
Show time: 8:00 pm
Tickets: $22 advance/ $25 door Streetlight

Indigo Evolution
The Documentary You've Been Waiting For
Featuring Doreen Virtue, Masaru Emoto, Don Miguel Ruiz and Neil
Donald Walsch.
Whatever you call them, (Indigo's or something else) our children
are coming into the world with their eyes wide open, ready to
play their role in creating a world of compassion and peace. Are
we witnessing a major leap in human evolution, what Jean Houston
calls "Jump Time?" Many people believe that we are on
the brink of a global awakening, and that the Indigo Children
are here to show us our highest potential.
Show time: 7:00
Tickets: $10, available at Gateways.
In "The INDIGO Evolution," you will hear from leading
experts from around the world that this is much more than an imaginary
fancy. The Children are real, and they are changing the world.
Director James Twyman takes us on a journey into one of the most
important questions of our day: "Has the human race finally
evolved to a higher reality?"

JZ KNIGHT, RAMTHA CHANNELER
from " what the bleep do we know "
Who Is Ramtha?
Ramtha is an ancient warrior, conqueror, and ascended Master who
lived 35,000 years ago. Remnants of his life and teachings exist
in various archaeological artifacts from India and Egypt, as well
as ancient Hindu literature. The fact that he is no longer limited
by his physical body allows him to interact with the physical
world in other forms. He chose this time to return because the
human race is ready to understand what he discovered about our
true identity as the Observer, responsible for collapsing the
quantum field and molding time and space.
JZ Knight, the Channel
JZ Knight was born March 16, 1946 in Roswell, New Mexico to a
family of migrant farmworkers. She was the eighth child in the
family and spent her early childhood in the cotton fields while
her mother worked picking cotton.
JZ Knight became a very successful businesswoman. Her professional
work was interrupted by Ramtha, who started her on a journey of
self-discovery and mastership. JZ was part of Ramtha's life historically
as one of his beloved adopted children, Ramaya. One of the more
controversial aspects of Ramtha's teachings is the form in which
he chose to deliver his message. The form in which he communicates
his teachings is through the phenomenon called channeling. In
fact, it was Ramtha who made the term known in the late 1970s.
Ramtha chose JZ Knight and prepared her to channel him, using
her body to teach his message in person. A channel is different
from a medium in that the channel is not the intermediary between
the consciousness coming through her and the audience. The channel
does not remain in a transfixed altered state while channeling;
rather she leaves her body completely and allows the consciousness
coming through to have full faculty over all her bodily movements
and functions. Ramtha, while being channeled through JZ Knight,
has the ability to open his eyes, walk, dance, eat and drink,
laugh, speak, converse, and teach his students personally. JZ
Knight is the only channel he has chosen and uses to deliver his
message.

An evening with HAPA
"If Maui were music, it would sound like these guys."
--Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinel
Spend Valentine's Day with "Hawaii's hottest group!"
(Billboard), HAPA. With the release of their 6th album, Maui,
Hapa's Barry Flanagan and Nathan Aweau embrace the wider cultures
of the pan-Polynesian South Pacific in this wide-ranging performance.
Charles Ka'upu’s stirring chants and stories mesh with dramatic
hula by Hapa’s Malia Kawailanamalie Petersen and dancer’s
from the Hula School of Santa Cruz.
With a pulse and energy that make it entirely of today, Hapa's
groundbreaking music connects firmly to the Polynesian past, featuring
poetic ballads about the sea, the lushness of the land, and favorite
chiefs all told through melodies rich in harmony and backed by
virtuoso guitar. Add their signature dose of American acoustic
folk/rock, Celtic and world influences and you have the essence
of what Hawaii and Hapa music is: "beautiful, fragile, spiritual,
powerful" (Los Angeles Times).
“Hapa’s Maui is an instant classic and solidifies
the group’s standing as a titan of the genre. They haven’t
missed a beat.” -- KCSN-FM, Los Angeles
Show time: 7:30 pm
Tickets: $22 General, $30 reserved available at www.ticketweb.com and Streetlight Records, 939 Pacific Ave in downtown Santa Cruz.

Peru Negro
"A carnival celebration of culture...colorful costumes, sensual
dances and historic verses."
- The Los Angeles Times
When slave masters in colonial Peru banned drums, the slaves found
new ways to create their outlawed rhythms. They used almost anything
that made noise when struck by a bamboo stick or slapped with
the palm of a hand. With the addition of melodic guitar and passionate
singing and dancing, Peru Negro keeps the tradition of Afro-Peruvian
music alive. Appointed as "Ambassadors of Peruvian Culture"
by their government, this Lima-based ensemble has helped bring
major international attention to Peru's African legacy.

TURNING ECSTATIC!
THE SANTA CRUZ FILM FESTIVAL AND THE THRESHOLD
SOCIETY AND VISIONARY MEDIA INC. PRESENT AN EVENING FILLED WITH
RUMI MUSIC, FILM, POETRY AND DANCE
The event will include Canadian writer/director Tina Petrova and
and Stephen Roloff’s life-changing film Turning Ecstatic,
the music of Baraka, a world-class Sufi music ensemble, and readings
of Rumi’s poetry by the esteemed Kabir and Camille Helminski.
The night will be spun away by a special presentation of the Whirling
Dervishes of the Threshold Society.
Petrova’s film, Turning Ecstatic, was inspired six years
ago when Tina drove off a cliff - both literally and figuratively.
On her way to spend the morning chanting at a Buddhist monastery
high in the mountains of Southern California’s desert, Petrova
gave a ride to a hitchhiker, an enigmatic woman standing beside
a deserted stretch of road. When Tina dropped the hitchhiker off
at her destination, she had offered a prophetic warning. Driving
up the mountain, the words echoed in Tina’s mind as her
car hit a patch of black ice and started to skid: “don’t
drive off the cliff today…” This life-changing
event launched Tina on the journey that was to become the basis
for her docudrama Turning Ecstatic. In the midst of an ongoing
struggle with pain and despair, she was visited by a phenomenal
encounter with Rumi, a 13th century Sufi mystic. The incident
opened up a path of healing and transformation that lead Tina
to a remarkable array of individuals whose lives and work have
been influenced by Rumi’s philosophy, teachings and poetry.
Rumi’s exquisite metaphors of ecstatic divine love
resonate all the more powerfully in today’s troubled times,
and all the more ironically- for his birthplace was Afghanistan
and his final resting place Turkey. Join us on one woman’s
magical journey of passion, bliss and surrender that offers a
perspective of renewed hope for all humankind.
Show Time: 7:00 pm
Tickets: $18.00 in advance, $20 at
the door, Student/Seniors 15.00 in advance 18.00 at the door -
A service charge may be added
Advance Tickets: Available at - Metro
Santa Cruz Offices - 130 Cooper St., Downtown Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Tinariwen
"Desert blues, the wandering, smoky lines of the music
summon up a nomadic sense of a land without boundaries."
- The Guardian (UK)
If ever there were a band of true rebel rockers, these veiled
and robed exiled nomads from the southern Sahara are it. Their
sound is powerful and original, tied to Touareg music from their
home in northern Mali. But traditional instruments such as the
derbouka, calebass, and flute have been augmented with electric
guitars and the influences of American blues, rock and rap,
Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix, and other Western and Middle Eastern
influences. "They rock." - Time Out (UK)

REVEREND BILLY
and The Church of Stop Shopping
Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir return to
Santa Cruz for a blistering revival show : singing, dancing
and fiery preaching will get you in the spirit!
Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir believe that
Consumerism is overwhelming our lives. The corporations want
us to have experiences only through their products. Our neighborhoods,
"commons" places like stoops and parks and streets
and libraries, are disappearing into the corporatized world
of big boxes and chain stores. But if we "back away from
the product" - even a little bit, well then we Put The
Odd Back In God! The supermodels fly away and we're left with
our original sensuality. So we are singing and preaching for
local economies and real - not mediated through products --
experience. We like independent shops where you know the person
behind the counter or at least - you like them enough to share
a story.We ask that local activists who are defending themselves
against supermalls, nuke plants, gentrification -- call us and
we'll come and put on our "Fabulous Worship!" Remember
children... Love is a Gift Economy! -- The Rev

Benefit Surf Movie!
FIN
a new movie by Ira Opper
Help Mike Wasch, master laminator and fiberglass artist, who has
been diagnosed and operated on for a brain tumor...and he needs
our help.....
Surfboard door prizes, surfboard auction, raffle for wetsuits,
and tons more stuff...
Advanced raffle tickets available
at Paradise Surfshop, and Haut Surfshop. Winners don’t need
to be present!
Show time: 7:30 pm
Advanced admission tickets available
at Paradise Surfshop and Haut Surfshop or $10 at the door
Hosted by: The Rio Theatre, Pleasure
Point Night Fighters, and the Aloha Riders
For as long as there have been surfers, there has been an accepted
standard of what was normal--finless redwood planks in the '20's,
longboards in the '60's, single-fins in the '70's, thrusters in
the '80's and '90's. But today, there is no standard; there is
no norm. There is only a group of surfers that are going their
own way.
FIN is an examination of the current state of the art, a time
in surfing culture when surfers are compelled to ride whatever
they want in order to facilitate a style that suits them best.
FIN is a study of the end of one mentality, a look at the current
epoch of surfing history, and a celebration of a time in surf
culture when what you ride means nothing, but how you ride it
means everything.

BILLABONG
JACK McCOY SURF FILM FESTIVAL
The festival line-up also includes The Billabong XXL Big Wave
Awards 2006, with some monster footage from famous US breaks Ghost
Tree, Monterey and Mavericks, San Francisco. The festival opens
each night with the winning entry from the Panasonic Surfshorts
Competition 2006.
Free as a Dog — McCoy’s 24th film in a long line of
classics, including Tubular Swells, Storm Riders, Blue Horizon
and many more — showcases the remarkable surfing talent
of Joel ‘Parko’ Parkinson (Australia) like never before.
Narrated by Parko’s faithful hound Trey, the film follows
the duo on a mission to help get a couple of lovesick grommets
(played by Australian, surfers James "Woody" Wood and
Ellis Ericson) back on track after they've fallen for a beautiful
dark-haired beach beauty (Ashley Cheadle, Australia).
For the past year, Jack, Parko, Woody and Ellis have been chasing
waves all over the Australian coastline and beyond, capturing
some never-before-filmed breaks. The film also has a look at Joel’s
home turf — Coolangatta, Queensland, also home to what is
affectionately known as “The Superbank”, a man-made
stretch of perfect beach that creates perfect, long, peeling waves.
The 2006 Panasonic Surfshorts winner was ‘131.9 Cents’
by Tony Mason (Melbourne, Australia). Panasonic Surfshorts is
a short-film competition that aims to encourage and support filmmakers
of all levels. ‘131.9 cents’ is based on true events
of Tony Mason. A guy born and raised in the city, over an hour
from the coast, Tony manages to discover the beauty of surfing regardless
of the cost to keep riding waves.
The final item on the festival program will be some astonishing
footage from The 2006 XXL Big Wave Awards. The film will showcase
the biggest waves ridden during the 2005/06 season.
Six years after its debut, the Billabong Jack McCoy Surf Film
Festival has grown to become the WORLD’S LARGEST of its
kind, screening to over 40,000 people in 13 countries.
Show time: 7:00 pm
Tickets ($10) on sale through
from April 10th, at selected surf shops or at the venue on the
night. For more information please visit www.Billabong.com or www.JackMcCoy.com

Let Abbey Road Be
by the White Album Ensemble
In 2003, the White Album Ensemble began a tradition at the Rio
center for the performing... by presenting the Beatles' "White
Album" live in concert, performed by an 8 piece band comprised
of some of the area's top musicians who'd rehearsed and researched
for months to ensure a tight show with musical authenticity. They
continued the following spring '04 by debuting "Rubber Revolver",
(Rubber Soul, Revolver and the singles that were released at the
same time), then the next spring '05, the worlds' most popular
album and its companion piece - Sgt. Peppers' Mystery Tour.
In completing this cycle for '06, the group offers the Beatles'
final two records, Abbey Road and Let It Be with the singles released
during that period, such as "Lady Madonna".
While being wildly different records in sound quality, recording
techniques and attitude, they make a fitting final installment
of the White Album Ensemble's two- album concert series.
The Ensemble has made it their mission to recreate the landmark
albums (that were released after the Beatles stopped touring,
or contained material that had instrumentation that they could
not use in concert at that time), in their original song sequence,
and with exact instrumentation whenever possible.
While "Let It Be" has been called the sound of the most
popular entertainment group in history breaking up and growing
apart with all the chaos, drugs, personal differences and business
pressures taking their toll, "Abbey Road" is a fitting,
tasteful "let's bury the hatchet- and go out in style with
a great record" sentiment.
Let It Be was recorded rather crudely- without overdubs, much
of it loose and out of tune, but still the Beatles! The songs
are as great as ever, from "The Long and Winding Road"
to "Get Back".
George Martin, the brilliant arranger/ producer/ sonic architect
who had produced all of their previous records, had bowed out
of "Let It Be". It was recorded by Glyn Johns and shelved
as substandard, then re-mixed by famed "Wall Of Sound"
U.S. Producer Phil Spector (Ronettes, Righteous Bros., Tina Turner's
"River Deep Mountain High") .
But on "Abbey Road", the winning formula of beautifully
crafted songs, multi tracked vocals, meticulous arrangements,
musical guests like Billy Preston and Eric Clapton and George
Martin's tasteful production were all back in full force. Many
people feel it is the crowning of the Beatles' artistry.
Replicating the Fab Four's many overdubbed parts on these albums
requires 8 top Santa Cruz and Monterey, Ca. based musicians and
vocalists -
Jason Schimmel (Guitar, Keyboard and Vocals)
Tiran Porter (Bass, Vocals),
Dale Ockerman (Keyboards, Guitar, Harmonica, Vocals),
Ken Kraft (Guitar and Vocals,),
Alan Heit, (Vocals, and Guitar),
Michael Daugherty (Drums, vocals),
Bob Bliss (Keyboards, Guitar and Vocals),
Richard Bryant (Vocals, and Percussion).
As is the tradition, Mark Thornton will create an era video accompaniment
for the Rio's movie screen, as a backdrop to the group.

Coleman Barks with
Barry & Shelley Phillips
Barry and Shelley are celebrating the release of their new CD:
I Have Five Things To Say
Coleman Barks joins local musical wonders Barry and Shelley Phillips
for a harmonic meeting of east and west – poetry of the
sufi mystic Jelaluddin Rumi performed to music rooted in the Shaker
and Shape Note traditions of America. Rumi's masterpieces have
inspired countless people throughout the centuries, and Coleman
Barks’ exquisite renderings of the thirteenth-century Persian
mystic are widely considered the definitive versions for our time.
These fresh, original translations magnificently convey Rumi's
insights into the human heart and its longings with his signature
passion and daring, focusing on the ecstatic experience of the
inseparability of human and divine love.
Rumi was born in Afghanistan in 1207, a time of tremendous political
turmoil in the Near East, and his brilliant mystical awareness
reached into all aspects of life. For Rumi, soul and body and
emotion are not separate but are rather part of the great mystery
of mortal life, a riddle whose solution is love. Above all else,
Rumi's poetry exposes us to the delight that comes from being
fully alive, urging us always to put aside our fears and take
the risk of discovering our core self.
Show time: 8:00 pm
Tickets: $15 advance/ $20 door General Admission (831) 426-9155 for more
information
Advance tickets available at Westside
Stories 457-2021 or Gateways Books 429-9600
Special guests this evening will include the Santa Cruz Shape
Note Society, singing early American folk hymns from Coleman’s
home state of Georgia, joined by Coleman himself, an enthusiastic
bass singer. Coleman Barks is a renowned poet whose appearances
on Bill Moyers' two PBS poetry series brought him wide acclaim.
He now focuses on writing and on performing Rumi poetry in readings
and concerts.
Barry Phillips (cello and tabla) received his M.M. in composition
from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He has been active
in film composition, orchestration and conducting and is a woodworking
fanatic as time allows. Barry has also worked in India as a composer
and cellist and currently is working with Ravi Shankar.
Shelley Phillips (Irish harp and wind instruments) received her
M.M. from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In addition
to performing and recording in the San Francisco and Monterey
Bay Areas, she is director of the Santa Cruz Community Music School
and director of the Santa Cruz Shape Note Society.

CALEXICO
Touring their new release
" GARDEN RUIN " .
"Garden Ruin " is where Calexico fill those dusty,
empty landscapes they've long documented with a big, bang sound.
Taking full advantage of the rockin' Calexico live band, the record
distills it's multicultural roots, new domestic arrangements,
international affairs, broadening horizons, developing ambitions
.....
www.casadecalexico.com
and THE BLACK HEART PROCESSION
Touring their new album " SPELL"
Theirs is the sound of driving at night across the West. Like
the wide-open landscape, this is music that knows how to be both
desolate and lush. And it knows that while sadness pulls you down,
discontent pushes you forward. So the Procession never stops.
Here, a song's 6/8 beat will pull you into a moody seductive waltz
and next, the violin and piano evoke the house band of a lonesome
cabaret with the lights turned low. Then the strings stop their
mournful crying and shift into a propulsive thrum, and now we've
got the pedal to the metal and we're heading straight down the
open road into a cinematic twilight.

NEKO CASE
Touring her new album "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood"
Sonny Smith opens
There is the basic, by now familiar biographical arc: Case’s
childhood in Washington State, art school in Vancouver, her
early baptism into the world of country and gospel music,
and contemporary gigs in distaff punk trios Maow and Cub, as well
as a longer (and ongoing) stint in powerhouse Canadian pop
group the New Pornographers. Since the late ‘90s, however,
the bulk of Case’s energies have been devoted to a thriving
solo career. Following three critically lauded studio albums,
1997’s The Virginian, 2000’s Furnace Room Lullaby,
and 2002’s masterful Blacklisted; a quietly potent kitchen- recorded
EP, Canadian Amp; and last year’s brilliantly conceived
concert collection The Tigers Have Spoken, Case reemerges
with her latest, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's acadamy-award winning Sound of

is a screening of the classic Julie Andrews film musical in
glorious, full-screen technicolor, complete with subtitles so
that the whole audience can sing along!
The fun-filled show starts with a vocal warm-up led by the evening’s
host, who also takes the audience through their complimentary
‘magic moments pack’, containing various props to
be used at strategic points throughout the film.
Then of course there is the famous costume contest which everyone
who has come in costume is invited onto the stage to show off
their fantastic tailoring skills. And the more venues we play,
the more elaborate the costumes get. Previous entries have included:
Nuns of both genders (including a pregnant nun!)
Girls (and boys!) in white dresses with blue satin sashes
A lonely Goatherd!
A twenty strong party joined together and completely covered
in fake turf (the alps!)
A man in a gold lycra catsuit (Ray a Drop of Golden Sun!)

you and you and you)
A man dressed in work overalls and a tool belt (Chris the Plumber)
A gazebo!!
A Chinese woman came as ‘So Long’
A carburetor
So get those vocal chords warmed up, cut up those chintz
curtains and hurry down for another dose of the international
smash-hit sensation! It’s the perfect night out for hen
parties, birthday celebrations, office outings family trips,

The
Anna Cabrini Chronicles -
Feature Film"
Q&A Duel with Director Tawd b. Dorenfeld & Composer
Trey Spruance
(Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle)
On a scale of grandiose proportions director Tawd b. Dorenfeld
brilliantly
weaves together live-action footage with original animation
and effects. The film’s unique composition, texture
and sound are enhanced by an original score & foley composed
by the internationally acclaimed Jazz/Noise musician and multi-
instrumentalist, Trey Spruance (Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle,
John Zorn).
The Anna Cabrini Chronicles voices the inner chaos of four characters,
three of whom brutally kill themselves. The film
cuts unforgivingly into a psychological void with severe
and unrelenting portrayals of each suicide. Brooke Caldner
(played by Samantha Deane) battles with theological dichotomies
and body image. Unable to accept his homosexuality, Jonathan,
(as played by Michael Childers), succumbs to a fragmentation
of his sexual desires and ultimately of his person. Twelve
year old Venice Beach skater Merrick (as played by Bryan
Trujillo), decides the only escape from his hopeless family
life is to end his own. The film’s narrator, Anna
Cabrini (played by Leigh Hope Phillips) lives on, but never
ceases to grapple with her childhood trauma and the loss of
her subjects whose lives she recorded on microcassette.

KUSP Presents
Amy Goodman
host of Democracy Now!
Along with her brother, journalist, David Goodman, Amy Goodman
will be giving a talk titled Breaking the Sound BarrierSunday.
The brother-sister team of Amy Goodman, host of the popular
international TV and radio news show Democracy Now! and investigative
journalist David Goodman have collaborated on a new book, Static:
Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders and the People Who Fight
Back. The appearance is a benefit for KUSP, Central Coast Public
Radio.
The Goodmans are authors of the New York Times best-seller The
Exception to the Rulers; their new book once again takes on
government liars, corporate profiteers, and the media that has
acted as their megaphone. They examine how the Bush administration
manipulated and fabricated news and how the corporate media
has worked to deceive the public. The Goodmans cut through the
spin and static to offer the truth about war, torture, and government
control of the media. Mixing investigative reporting and interviews,
Static presents voices of dissidents, activists, and others
who are often excluded from official debate, to shed new light
on urgent issues of war and peace.
Show time: 7:00 pm
Advance tickets are $22 and are
available online at kusp.org and at Bookshop Santa Cruz, Capitola Book Café, Gateways
Books and Monterey Bay Books. For more information, call 831-476-2800.

THE OTHER FINAL
(The Netherlands, 2003, 80 min., color)
Directed by Johan Kramer
Two cultures that couldn’t be more different meet in this
documentary that pits the lowest ranking soccer teams in the
2002 World Cup against each other. The Asian mountain kingdom
of Bhutan is ranked 202, and the tiny Caribbean island nation
of Monserrat, recovering at that time from a devastating volcanic
eruption, is ranked 203. The film leads up to and ends with
the officially FIFA-sanctioned game, held in Bhutan. But it
is really about the people from each country and their humanity
and dignity. Goofy and inspiring at the same time, this extraordinary
documentary is uplifting and educational as few films are.
3:00pm
A STATE OF MIND
(Korea, 2005, 93 min., color)
Directed by Daniel Gordon
This thought-provoking documentary follows two young North Korean
girls over a period of eight months as they prepare for the
national Mass Games, the largest and most elaborate choreographed
gymnastics performance in the world, featuring 100,000 participants.
Directed by a BBC documentary producer, the film provides a
rare glimpse into one of the least-known societies in the world.
As the filmmakers were told by their local guide, "No one
has ever been allowed to see, let alone film, what you are witnessing."
Sealed off from outside influences, North Korea follows its
own communist ideals and a strict philosophy centering on the
worship of the Kim dynasty: Kim II Sung (who died in 1994 but
remains Head of State) and his son and successor, Kim Jong II
or "the General."

(USA, 2005, 60 min., color
Directed by Vince P. Deur -- Director present for screening.
Meet the surfers of the Great Lakes. Summer and winter
they ride the wind-swell waves on the midwest’s huge "freshwater
seas," that sprawl to the shores of Wisconsin, Michigan
and Ontario. The surf can be immense, even by Hawaiian and Santa
Cruz standards, with wave faces towering up to 15 feet in storm
conditions that may include snow, hail, sleet and floating chunks
of ice the size of surfboards. With amazing footage that
includes Santa Cruz's own world-class surfer Omar Etcheverry,
Unsalted offers surfers and non-surfers alike a rare opportunity
to meet some of the most intrepid surfers on the planet.
7:00pm

art. Among the many drumming groups included are Kenny
Endo Taiko Ensemble, Denver Taiko, Maui Taiko and Zenshuji Zendeko.

The 2006 Pacific Rim Film Festival presents
"A Night of Aloha" Closing Night Benefit Event
LI'A: The Legacy of a Hawaiian Man

of the Hawaiian Legacy Series .Script by Santa Cruz author James
D. Houston

Film Festival (First Ten Years).
Eddie and Myrna Kamae will be here in person. Live Hawaiian
music with Eddie Kamae and special guests.

Admission: $15.00
Advance tickets available at: Logos Books and Records, Bookshop
Santa Cruz, Westside Stories, Aloha Island Grille, Cabrillo
College Watsonville Center
Tickets will also be sold at the door.
LI'A: The Legacy of a Hawaiian Man is the first film by filmmakers
Eddie and Myrna Kamae. It premiered in November 1988 at the
Hawaii International Film Festival, and was the Closing Night
Film at the 1989 Pacific Rim Film Festival. This one-hour documentary
is about the music of Hawaii. It is also the story of a place,
the Big Island's legendary Waipi'o Valley, and a man whose music
was nurtured by that place. Born in 1881, Sam Li'a Kalainaina
was a man of an older time whose 94 years bridged two centuries
and two ways of life.
Li'a's music inspired Eddie Kamae to preserve this man's unique
legacy on film. Eighteen years in the making, this was the first
film directed by Kamae, a widely respected performer, singer
and a musical legend in his own right.
Combing interviews, spectacular scenery, and original songs
performed by Eddie's band, The Sons of Hawaii, Li'a is a touching
tribute to a gentle-spirited and unforgettable man. As was noted
in CINEVUE Magazine (New York, 1990), " . . . the film
imparts a deep sense of the traditional Hawaiian balance between
the people, their music, and the land. It has the important
(and rare) touch of a filmmaker who has taken the time to truly
understand his subject."
For more information on the Hawaiian Legacy Series of documentary
films by Eddie and Myrna Kamae go to www.hawaiianlegacy.com.

Ramblin' Jack Elliott
the legendary folk singer who passed Woody Guthrie's legacy
on to Bob Dylan, turned 75 in August 2006. And after decades
of watching more driven performers enjoy the success he's never
experienced, now he's ready to get serious about his career
with his new release ,
" I Stand Alone "
An intimate gem of a recording - like a poem - a classic Ramblin’
Jack run-on sentence I Stand Alone could not be more appropriately
titled. The freewheeling, well-traveled singer is one of the
final archetypal representatives of America's underground folk
tradition, a self-made wayfarer whose fifty-plus years of experience
resonates through every tune captured here. The consummate song
collector, Elliott has assembled a full deck of titles characterized
by a wild mixture of graphic imagery, old time sentiment and
Americana tradition. An intimate experience recorded by one
of America's original folk icons.

Putumayo's Acoustic
Africa featuring: Habib Koité, Vusi Mahlasela and Dobet
Gnahoré Habib Koité, from Mali, is a superstar
in his own country as well as an international sensation. "His
reputation as a guitar player has become almost mythical,"
says the New York Times.
Vusi Mahlasela, from South Africa, commands an "instantly
affecting" (Billboard) voice that has promoted hope and
love while attacking hate and segregation in his apartheid-ravaged
homeland and was featured on the soundtrack to the Academy Award-winning
foreign film Tsotsi.
They are joined by newcomer Dobet Gnahoré, from the Ivory
Coast, whose music reflects a variety of influences, including
Mandingo music, Congolese rumba, ziglibiti from the Ivory Coast,

Diamanda Galas
“Galás plays the piano like driving rain slapping
on concrete, and she sings like a demon going to war, a Valkyrie
scatting, a lizard queen seeking revenge for the dead…
Galás is profound, rigorous, vocally unlimited, terrifying
and utterly compelling.”
–The Age, Australia
"Specializing in music that can be as jarring as it is
uncompromising, the dark avant-garde chanteuse, who can smoothly
croon and hellishly exhort in equal measure, eschews the notion
that music should simply entertain, Galas rarely fails to make
an indelible impression, whether exhuming old blues standards
or wailing for the unjustly deceased."
THE NEW YORKER
AUGUST 14, 2006
Exploding boundaries with sophisticated vocal weaponry and raw
emotion, Diamanda Galás performs GUILTY, GUILTY,
GUILTY; a program of tragic and homicidal love songs ,
ranging from O. V. Wright’s EIGHT MEN AND FOUR WOMEN
to Timi Yuro’s TIME; from Johnny Cash’s LONG BLACK
VEIL to Edith Piaf’s HEAVEN HAVE MERCY. The concert will
also include O DEATH by Ralph Stanley, which Galás notes
IS a love song, but for The Reaper.
The program will also include songs from a new program, CHANSONS

love
written & directed by Vladan Nikolic
2005, 93 min.
In this stylish, atmospheric thriller, a hit man who learned
his deadly craft in the Balkan wars, his beautiful former
lover, and her police officer boyfriend all cross paths in
lower Manhattan. The looping, nonlinear narrative structure
and crisscrossing fates of its colorful characters may remind
many of Pulp Fiction, but instead of recycling the hipster
argot and rap rhythm of that influential L.A. story of more
than a decade ago, love gives us a wintry, present-day New
York City that is very much a cosmopolitan metropolis, a city
of immigrant hustlers and their Old World accents-the Yugoslavian
hit man, the German doctor, the French coquette, and the Neapolitan
crook, and many others. love is all the more stimulating because
of the elegant simplicity with which it was made; aside from
its thriller plot, the spare visual composition and beautifully
lit scenes are alone more than reason enough to see this picture.
From its memorable scenes, which include a killing in a park
to the Mexican stand-off inside a church to the dimly lighted
nightclub, where an emcee in drag promises the jaded patrons
'music you've never heard before,' this stylish crime tale
makes the New York scene glow with color-drenched beauty,
menace, and mystery.

5:00PM
Iraq for Sale
The War Profiteers is the story of what happens to everyday
Americans when corporations go to war. Acclaimed director
Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed,
and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck
drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever
as a result of corporate greed in the reconstruction of Iraq.
Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private security
companies making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers
who allow them to do so.
7:00PM
American Blackout
Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities that
occurred during the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004.
Until now, these incidents have gone under-reported and are
commonly written-off as insignificant rumors or unintentional
mishaps resulting from an overburdened election system.
American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter
disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following
the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. McKinney
not only took an active role investigating these election
debacles, but has found herself in the middle of her own after
publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9/11
terrorist attacks. Featuring: Congressional members:
John Conyers, John Lewis, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Bernie Sanders
and jounalists Greg Palast and Bob Fitrakis.

VENEZUELA RISING
As seen through the eyes of grandmother and community organizer
Gladys Bolivar, the documentary follows her and her compatriots
five days before it is to be decided by popular referendum
whether Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will continue in
office or step down. The entire nation has been mobilized.
Will it be SI, yes he will be recalled, or NO, he will remain
in office. Most Venezuelans feel that no less than the entire
future of their country is at stake in this election.
Issues of democracy and politics are addressed -- what constitutes
a free and fair election? What stimulates citizen participation?
Are elections the ultimate measure of a thriving democracy?
How do our elections in the U.S. measure up to the vibrancy
of the elections in Venezuela?
Venezuela Rising gets behind the headlines and into the neighborhoods
of Caracas to find out how participatory democracy works on
the ground.
With guest speakers Conn Hallinan, columnist for Foreign Policy
in Focus and Dawn Gable, U.S. Bolivarian Circles.
Show time: 7:00 pm
Tickets at the door $5-$10
