In
our culture, nearly every holiday can be boiled down
to an edible candy creation. For Easter, there are
chocolate easter bunnies. For Christmas, there are
candy canes. And for the Día de los Muertos
(Day of the Dead) holiday held on Nov. 1 and 2, you
eat chocolate- or sugar-based candy skulls. Yummm!
And to commemorate this holiday, the Maude Kerns Art
Center hosts its own Día de los Muertos juried
exhibit, made up of art related to this celebration
of souls passed on (including whimsical clay sculptures
by Texas artist Tamra Kohl, pictured left). The art
center hosts a special fiesta opening on Friday with
entertainment from Ballet Folklórico Infantil
and Ballet Folklórico Xochiquetzal dance troupes.
In addition to the juried show, the exhibit includes
special altars created by individuals and community
groups. One of the groups, the Amigos Multicultural
Services Center, will give a presentation on the inspiration
for their altar on Wednesday. See Calendar.
Long
ago (if you consider the mid-'90s
as such) Meshell Ndegeocello
landed on the pop music scene with
her collaboration with John Cougar
Mellencamp on a bass-thumping duet
for a cover of Van Morrison's "Wild
Thing." With her appearance on Madonna's
Bedtime Stories and a guest
stint on the Rolling Stones's LP
Bridges to Babylon, Ndegeocello's
status in the pop world has been
more than solidified. Her latest
disc, The World Has Made Me the
Man of My Dreams, moves away
from the slap-funk of her early
career and covers more loops, beats
and ethereal space-pop (think Thievery
Corporation meets Victor Wooten).
"Ndegeocello" means "free like a
bird" and her website is titled
"Free My Heart." The only thing
that's not free is a ticket to her
show at the WOW Hall. Get one soon
and see Wednesday Calendar.
