32 Sounds is an immersive feature documentary and profound sensory experience from Academy-Award nominated filmmaker Sam Green (The Weather Underground, A Thousand Thoughts) featuring original music by JD Samson (Le Tigre, MEN). The film explores the elemental phenomenon of sound by weaving together 32 specific sound explorations into a cinematic meditation on the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception of the world around us. Join Oscar nominated filmmaker Green as he takes the audience on a journey through time and space exploring everything from forgotten childhood memories, to the soundtrack of resistance, to subaquatic symphonies and experience in new ways the astonishing sounds of our everyday lives. 32 Sounds investigates the mysterious nature of perception and the subtle yet radical politics that arise from sensation and being present in one’s body.

Marked by the ancestral culture of the Mandingo hunters, Abou Diarra is a Malian n'goni (Malian harp guitar) player with an atypical background. Trained by a virtuoso and blind master, he has criss-crossed the roads of Abidjan-Bamako-Conakry on foot for several months, accompanied by his only instrument. Crossing the most remote villages of West Africa as well as modern megalopolises, he drew from traditional sounds and contemporary urban music. His music speaks of travel. The concert was filmed at the New Morning, a cult jazz concert hall in Paris. (Bass – Jean-Sebastien Masanet; Drums – Yannick Arnaud Kouassi; Electric Guitar – Daouda Dembele; Guitar, Keyboards – Moussa Koita; Ngoni, Lead Vocals – Abou Diarra)

Think of today's top operatic voices, and black owners of them are as likely to come into the list as white ones: Willard White, Jessye Norman and Kathleen Battle to name only three. We know it wasn't always thus - Paul Robeson's struggles to be recognized as a great singer, instead of a black singer, went on for many decades. But this program reveals just how hard the journey to acceptance of America's black singers has been. It opens with one of the greatest voices of the 20th century: Marian Anderson and a clip of her magnificent performance of 'Ave Maria. The film offers newsreel footage from her landmark 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial, which was held after the daughters of the American Revolution denied her access to their Constitution Hall venue. But the black tradition of classical singing goes back even further: Before Leontye Price, Jessye Norman and even before Marian Anderson, Sissieretta Jones was arguably the greatest black performer of 19th century America and certainly the first great black diva. Sissieretta Jones, the Black Patti, an allusion to Italian American Primadonna Adelina Patti, performed before four American presidents, mesmerized critics and audiences alike and was so successful that at one concert in New Jersey 1,000 visitors had to be turned away. The film Aida's Brothers and Sisters intends to focus the viewer's gaze particularly on the black classic and also on the fascinating mixed forms that have developed from the confrontation of white and black music in the last hundred years. The encounter with the powerful personalities of the singers and their music will reveal the humor, the lust for life, and the spiritual depth of black culture, and will perhaps add a dash of color to a white fin de siècle culture that is in danger of contracting anemia. A fascinating documentary with historical and contemporary film and video records of performances by Leontyne Price, Simon Estes, Grace Bumbry, Reri Grist and many others.
