Info:
Golden Fetus Records and Ensemble Mik Nawooj have announced their largest production of Great Integration: A Chamber Hip-Hop Opera, featuring Bay Area underground hip-hop legends Kirby Dominant and Rico Pabon, as part of the historic Old First Concert Series in San Francisco. This concert will include the world premiere of the second half of Great Integration, Celestial King Descending, featuring MC Rico Pabon. Kim and ensemble will perform in their signature style of Hybrid Music, that merges genres from hip-hop and jazz to pop and classical. This groundbreaking, genre-blurring music has brought Kim and Ensemble Mik Nawooj to the attention of legends like Ahmad Jamal.
Performers for this concert will include Kim, Kirby Dominant and Rico Pabon. The performance will be held on Friday, September 30, 2011 at 8pm at Old First Concerts in San Francisco.
In this final chapter of the ongoing Mik Nawooj saga, the Black Swordsman of Dominance is chosen to trigger the Great Integration of the world before the arrival of the Celestial King. When all the five lords of the material realm are conquered, the old world we know merges into one and the Great Celestial King descends from ninth heaven to wipe out all the impurities of the world, thus creating a new world with a brand new paradigm.
It is an allegory that Kim finds particularly apt for the approaching end times prophesied by the Mayan and other cultures in 2012 and, more importantly, for the new era that these tribulations will usher in. Kim's music incorporates elements from hip-hop and classical, creating a unique hybrid that is in the spirit of Gershwin and Piazzolla, both of whom pushed and blurred the boundaries of vernacular and art music. Backed by his own Ensemble Mik Nawooj, featuring Kirby Dominant & Rico Pabon, JooWan succeeds in accomplishing what most musicians want to but are unable to creating a new kind of music that combines genres that are seemingly incompatible with each other.
