In the Depths of the Land
Thursday, October 10th
7:00 pm
This fall, City of Asylum is proud to present four concerts celebrating music from around the world. Our World Music Series opens with an evening of songs from different regions of rural South America, performed by internationally acclaimed artists Raquel Winnica Young and Dieter Hennings-Yeoman.
This program features folk styles seldom heard in the U.S. including zambas, carnavalitos, cuecas and valses, and the chilena from Oaxaca, based on a Chilean rhythm. These songs feature poetry and lyrics by prominent 20th century South American and Mexican songwriters who were inspired by the life of the “unheard” people who live and work the fields of foreign and desolate lands.

Afro Yaqui Music Collective
Thursday, February 7th
7:00 pm
Recently returned from the Kennedy Center, The Afro Yaqui Music Collective (named after the indigenous music of the Yaqui people of northern Mexico) fuses the music of first nations in the Americas with funk, jazz, and hip hop to create a new rhythm that liberates spirit and soul.
AYMC is a 9-piece outfit which descends from the ensembles of Guggenheim award-winner Fred Ho, whose work was influenced by West African, global Indigenous and East Asian musics.
Co-led by 2014 ACE Award-winning Yaqui-Mexican operatic vocalist Gizelxanath Rodreiguez and Fred Ho’s Baritone protege Ben Barson, the band uses their soul-stirring, heart-pumping sounds to respond to global issues from mass incarceration to ecocide.
Afro Yaqui’s concerts are always a hit with the Alphabet City crowd…so be sure to RSVP before this fan-favorite sells out!

Cowboys & Frenchmen
Tuesday, October 24th
8:00 pm
NYC-based quintet Cowboys & Frenchmen presents a new take on instrumentation, orchestration, and composition for the jazz quintet. The front line of two alto saxophones plays loose with the role of horns, in an inclusive post-bop style that seamlessly crosses the classic American song book with blues and improvisation.
The band is comprised of five creative musicians. Owen Broder on alto sax, clarinet and bass clarinet, Ethan Helm on alto sax, flute and clarinet, Chris Ziemba on piano, Ethan O’Reilly on bass and Matt Honor on drums.
The inspiration for the quirky band name is a short Western by David Lynch called “The Cowboy and The Frenchmen.” Like the film, this quintet’s music has one foot firmly planted in a genre, while the other one is busy trying to kick down the genre’s door.
This concert celebrates the release of their new album, Bluer Than You Think.

Phat Man Dee’s Cosmic Cabaret
Friday, October 13th
8:00 pm
“Expressive and passionate, Phat Man Dee’s sensual voice pulls you in and takes you away to where the words no longer matter and you float along on pure emotion.” – WQED
Local cult sensation, cabaret songstress and part-time sideshow marvel Phat Man Dee is an old-fashioned jazz torch singer with a number of new twists.
Voted a top jazz act by the Pittsburgh City Paper’s Readers’ Polls for six years running, Phat Man Dee sings original compositions as well as an eclectic repertoire of standards in English, Spanish, French and sometimes German and Hebrew. Her performance range is just as wide, spanning opera, theater and burlesque. From blues to “filk” (fandom-inspired folk music), from opera to indie, her repertoire has a little something sure to suit every unique taste.
Inspired by the issues of the day but always outside the box, Phat Man Dee’s performance is guaranteed to have a few surprises!
