August 1969 was when Woodstock took place. It was a huge and very well-known music event. However, there was another very large music event that started July 29, 1969 and went through the end of August 1969. It happened each Sunday (except the 4th of July weekend) and happened about 100 miles southeast of Woodstock, in Harlem, New York But, it wasn’t nearly as well-known…. although that may be about to change. A documentary is being released July 2nd, 2021 in theaters and streaming, titled Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised), a feature documentary about the Harlem Cultural Festival. It is the directorial debut of Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, of the band The Roots and the former leader of The Night Show band. On this show, I’ll give you a sneak peak of the line up of the artists from the festival and the sort of music they play. We’ll share some details about the festival. I’ll also share some videos of this artists, not from the documentary – I wish I had those to share, on https://www.facebook.com/sexymusicafterdark. I’ll also share some additional article and interview links that I found and some previews from the documentary. (I cannot archive the music for copyright reasons, but all videos of the music will be shared on the Facebook page shared above so the songs can be heard and most have performances by the artists.) The content that I shared during the show is contained here and I left 10 second spots where the songs were played. Videos of all the songs are posted here https://www.facebook.com/sexymusicafterdark/posts/2601887663438665. I also posted some additional images and additional links for things I found interesting.
