SUMMARY:MOCA PERFORMS – Crouching Dub\, Hidden Riddim
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Carnegie Hall’s United in Sound: America at 250\, MOCA is excited to present a series of music programs featuring composers\, musicians\, and performers. Through this series\, artists use music as a storytelling medium to share their personal journeys\, creative inspirations\, and cultural influences. \nAn hour-long live cinematic and musical performance by Ben “saxofshaolin” Chin pairs martial arts films with a live soundtrack of Asian-influenced hip-hop and reggae. Martial arts films and Black diasporic music have long served as entry points into Asian and Black cultures. The program reimagines these familiar cultural forms while confronting the stereotypes that have long shaped their reception. This performance highlights the deep-rooted connections between Black and Asian diasporas while imagining new models for collaboration\, solidarity\, and cultural empowerment.
