[PODCAST INTRO/THEME]

🦊: *singing* Hi, it’s me again. I’m back!

Jungkook: *singing* Let’s talk ASAP. Do you have the time?

Both: Let’s talk!~

🦊: *giggles* WE’RE BACK!

Jungkook: We’re sorry we didn’t do last week’s podcast. We forgot to pre-record while I was in the States.

🦊: It was honestly my fault. I should have reminded Galletita.

Jungkook: This podcast is not under any agency or anything like that. We do everything ourselves. Just Y/N, our producer friend, and I. And we all kind of forgot *in between chuckles* about my schedule.

🦊: I got it from Sejin, besties!~ I’ll tell you know, he’s gonna go t-

Jungkook: Stop~

🦊: Okay okay~

Jungkook: Before we begin with our main topic, I would like to say that Y/N has been talking to me about a lot of different things like... *chuckles*

🦊: Doja cat situation, Lizzo lawsuit, Ariana Grande homewrecker, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE~ Jujutsu Kaisen~

Jungkook: *scoffs* I would just like to say, that our takes on the celebrity area is pretty common.

🦊: Yeah, Namjoon-oppa and I generally have the sa-

Jungkook: Well... He just d-

🦊: *screams* AH!!!! LALALALALALA!! Don’t expose it!

Both: *laughs*

Jungkook: So, there are many different things, but Y/N asked that we talk a little bit about Jujutsu Kaisen.

🦊: This is an anime we both really enjoy.

Jungkook: For sure. We’re both anime geeks. So, I got Y/N into Jujutsu Kaisen, they didn’t want to see it, but then they saw it and-

🦊: I’m obsessed!~

Jungkook: They’re crazy over the characters.

🦊: Gege put his whole Gegussy on these characters

Jungkook: *laughs* *in between laughs* Gegussy~

🦊: But then! Ask me how anything works, like the techniques or anything like that.

Jungkook: How does Sukuna’s-

🦊: I have no fucking idea.

Jungkook: *laughs*

🦊: *in between chuckles* I’m just here to be on my “Seven” era.

Jungkook: *gasps* *laughs away from the mic*

🦊: Explicit version. Moanday, Tongueday, Wetday, Thristday, Freakday, Sexday, Suckday, seven days a week.

Jungkook: *sighs smiling* *in between chuckles* WHY?!~

🦊: What do you meAN WHY?! Gojo has been everything since season 1. Same with Shoko with her eyebags~ But now they’re animating the man that I have been OBSESSED with since Gege put him on paper... *long pause* ... Toji Fushiguro.

Jungkook: *smacks his lips* *groans* Oh my god~

🦊: I’m obsessed with him! The fact that-

Jungkook: You gotta stop~

🦊: Shh! The fact that he’s voiced by Dio?!~ *squeals then giggles*

Jungkook: I love that voice actor. Dio from Jojo is-

🦊: Everything.

Jungkook: A menace

🦊: I can fix him.

Jungkook: *scoffs* Stop

🦊: He can make a single parent

Jungkook: Oh my god!

🦊: Seven days a week?

Jungkook: *snickers*

🦊: Wait, who’s your favorite?

Jungkook: Maki.

🦊: *gasps* I LOVE MAKI! She’s so badass. I... Okay, I love all of them. I’m obsessed with Choso, Sukuna, Nanami~

Jungkook: Nanami looks 45~

🦊: Does IT LOOK~ Like I care?~ I love him~

Jungkook: What abot Inumaki?

🦊: Okay, the underaged characters are, you know... Off-limits to me, because they’re children~ But I like a man like Inumaki.

Jungkook: A person with few words?

🦊: Yeah. Or like Yuta.

Jungkook: Wait, why Yuta?

🦊: Are you kidding me? He’s loyal~ He’s depressed~

Jungkook: *laughs*

🦊: He’s attentive~ A green flag~

Jungkook: That’s why you like *bleep*?

Both: *gasps*

Jungkook: Imsosorry! We can bleep it out.

🦊: Yeah yeah yeah! Daehyun, please don’t forget~

🦊: But let’s get serious! Our topic today is~

Both: Holidays~

Jungkook: So of course, Y/N is from one side of the world and I’m from another~

🦊: Yeah, strangely enough though!~ We~ were both colonized.

Jungkook: *gasps* True~

🦊: That opened your third eye?

Jungkook: *deadpan/trying not to laugh* No.

🦊: *giggles* 

Jungkook: I wasn’t culturally shocked by American holidays, like explicitly American, think Fourth of July, thanksgiving, memorial day, stuff like that.

🦊: Mhm~

Jungkook: The one that did shock me was “Black Friday”.

🦊: Oh~

Jungkook: Y/N actually took me to celebrate that day, we were at Walmart and it was like... A zombie movie.

🦊: *snickers* Yes~

Jungkook: It was crazy~

🦊: And I would just like to say, we only went because he was curious and I hadn’t been to one... EVER!

Jungkook: I had an amazing deal on electronics. 

🦊: He had to fight a Karen.

Jungkook: Which! She saw me, just my face, approached me grabbed the speaker. Then she saw my muscles and stuff and she just gave it to me.

🦊: For context. He was wearing a tight black shirt and gray joggers. He looked HOT~

Jungkook: Thank you~

🦊: *deadpan/trying not to laugh* That’s the only compliment you’ll get today.

Jungkook: Mmmmhm~

🦊: *giggles*

Jungkook: There are a lot of Latin celebrations that we did.

🦊: We have traveled a lot.

Jungkook: We have~ I think that’s why... Um~ Your, not really, one-sided love thinks we might be something.

🦊: Ew... For real?

Jungkook: *sarcastically* No... For fake... YES, FOR REAL!

🦊: Ew... I don’t wanna date you!

Jungkook: I don’t wanna date you either!

🦊: ANYWAYS!

Jungkook: Anyways, we celebrated a lot of Latin celebrations. Like different independence days, race days, and flags days.

🦊: When we went to Mexico we did the “Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe” and w-

Jungkook: We wanted to see the Lady of Guadalupe so badly, but she never appeared.

🦊: Nope~

Jungkook: We also went to Bolivia in August for the “Feast of the Virgen de Urkupiña”, “Feast of Our Lady Altagracia” in the Dominican Republic in January.

🦊: The one that took the longest was the “Fiestas Patronales” in Puerto Rico.

Jungkook: Oh yeah! They start in August but end around January or February.

🦊: We did this one when there were no schedules for him or any of the BTS members. 

Jungkook: It was fun to experience traveling from town to town. All 78 of them.

🦊: And I would like to clarify that it’s not just one day per town. It’s a weekend-

Jungkook: Or maybe a whole week...

🦊: Of just carnival rides, street food, and music.

Jungkook: It was really fun. We skipped the ones that had the same performers. 

🦊: Was that shocking to you?

Jungkook: Oh! For sure!~ It was very beautiful the idea of 78 towns coming together to schedule festivals. The festival ended in one town and then it continued in another. 

🦊: I think these moments are important to realize that “culture shock” can be bad and horrible but also beautiful and fun. 

Jungkook: Exactly. I think it’s fun that we like each other’s culture and can make each other see what we grew up with and understand each other more because of that.

🦊: Aw... You’re such a softie~

Jungkook: You too.

🦊: *long pause* You’re the most amazing friend ever... *sighs softly* I’m glad and I appreciate that you take your time off your schedule to come to my country and see what it was like for me growing up and we can make fun of things together.

Jungkook: Me too... I couldn’t have picked a better friend...

🦊: Aw!~ I would hug you but the mics are on the way.

Jungkook: Yeah, no, don’t hug me. I’m meeting someone later. 

🦊: *chuckles*

Jungkook: One culture shock that I really liked was the “Noche de San Juan”. 

🦊: Oh! I loved the “Noche de San Juan”

Jungkook: Basically it’s a day that happens every 23rd of June, around the summer solstice and it’s to celebrate the taino new year.

🦊: Oh! He said it correctly~

Jungkook: Hey! Bad Bunny taught me how to say “taino”.

🦊: *chuckles* Okay! Okay! It’s one of the longest days, but at night it’s very magical.

Jungkook: Oh yeah!~

🦊: So, what we do is that at midnight we do a backflip-

Jungkook: Or swim backward!

🦊: And it’s supposed to represent letting go of bad things and welcoming new things.

Jungkook: Wait... That’s why you swam forward and told me to swim forward too?

🦊: Yep!

Jungkook: Oooooh!~

🦊: And something that I added was wishing for things. Or, even manifest things.

Jungkook: And honestly? It works!

🦊: Really?!

Jungkook: Yeah, I wished to be no.1 on billboard and it came true

🦊: Oh! *scoffs* We knew that was gonna happen~

Jungkook: *sighs* I know bu-

🦊: You trust ARMY too much but you couldn’t trust them with this?~

Jungkook: It’s not that~ I wanted to impress ARMY and the world~

🦊: And you did~

Jungkook: Thanks to the wish~

🦊: *snickers then chuckles* Okay~

Jungkook: What was your culture shock?~

🦊: The festivals too.

Jungkook: Okay bu-

🦊: They’re different~

Jungkook: Exactly. We don’t have carnivals rides~

🦊: Yeah~

Jungkook: But also, when we did chuseok.

🦊: *gasps* Oh yeah! I didn’t expect your parents to be a bit disappointed when I didn’t bring spam.

Jungkook: Spam IS very important. 

🦊: I didn’t expect spam to be THAT important~

🦊 : I made mandu, which is Korean dumplings, but his parents already made some~

Jungkook: They loved it!~

🦊: I know, but they just wanted some spam~

Jungkook: *chuckles* 

🦊: We did the 설날 festival. I wore this awesome hanbok an-

Jungkook: And I also wore a hanbok.

🦊: I did 세배 to your parents~ And it was lovely~

Jungkook: If you guys don’t know, it’s when you bow deeply to your elders and wish them a happy new year. 

🦊: And they gave me 세배돈, which I took which was a little shame because I did not expect money to be given to me because I wished my elders a happy new year and bowed.

Jungkook: It was beautiful. Y/N’s hanbok was great.

🦊: We ate 떡국~ 전~ 잡채~

Jungkook: It was awesome~

🦊: It was delicious~

Jungkook: And don’t worry guys~ I did bring spam!

🦊: I would just like to say, we’re already four episodes in, and I would just like to take the time to congratulate Jungkook on his solo endeavors. He has worked so hard you guys and... *sighs/trying not to try*

Jungkook: 울어?

🦊: *with a shaky voice* 당연히 울어! You work so hard~ And to see it blossom~ *sniffles* It’s been awesome. And the podcast is taking off too! And without any sponsors or anything. We really did this from the ground up.

Jungkook: Aw... I would just like to congratulate you too. You got 100% on the TOPIK test. You got a job ON YOUR OWN at Hybe? You’re doing amazing too.

🦊: *smacks lips* I hate you~ 

Jungkook: I hate you too~

🦊: I still beat you at Mario Kart.

Jungkook: And I beat you at Overwatch.

🦊: You’re the bestest friend EVER~

Jungkook: You’re the awesomest friend EVER~

🦊: If I ever marry... You know who~ You’re my best man~

Jungkook: *hums* I’m pretty sure he’ll ask me~

🦊: Oh my god~ Why are we like this today~

Jungkook: We just haven’t seen each other in a while... I missed my best friend. It’s not the same having a burping contest with Sejin...

🦊: Oh my god... He’s the WORST burper...

Jungkook: Very girly too...

🦊: Let’s not shame him. He’s handsome.

Jungkook: Not by his burps.

🦊: Did you also cook with him?

Jungkook: I tried but he’s so busy with my schedule.

🦊: Bendito... You know, I missed you too... It wasn’t the same to play Mario Kart with Taehyung. He already experienced the DLC so I didn’t have a fair shot.

Jungkook: Aw... Well... I’m back now...

Jungkook: Thank you guys so much for listening to the podcast.

🦊: Thank you for supporting the podcast and for all your comments.

Jungkook: And if you guys have any topics that you would like us to talk about, you guys can comment on them below!

🦊: Nos vemos la proxima vez. 

Jungkook: 여러분~ 다음에 봐요! I have to console this one~

🦊: *squeals then giggles* Ay ya~ No seas estupido~

Jungkook: I’m sorry~ *mic bumps* Let me hug you~

🦊: No no!~ *giggles* Stop~ You have a meeting~

Jungkook: You’re my best friend! I can’t let you be sad over this!

Both: 안녕히 게세요~

Esperanza Spalding

Esperanza Spalding è cantautrice e compositrice. Voce calda e talento straordinario nel suonare il basso, con la sua contaminazione di stili, è riuscita a mettere insieme il pubblico appassionato di jazz a quello più propenso all’ascolto di rock, funk, R&B, hip hop o soul. Canta in diverse lingue tra cui inglese, spagnolo, portoghese e francese. 

Acclamata dalla critica, nella sua carriera ha collezionato cinque Grammy Awards, un Boston Music Award, un Soul Train Music Award e due dottorati onorari dal Berklee College of Music e dal California Institute of the Arts.

Ha collaborato con artisti di fama internazionale e insegnato musica a Harvard per cinque anni.

È nata il 18 ottobre 1984 a Portland, in Oregon. Cresciuta in una famiglia di musicisti, il suo primo vero approccio alla musica è avvenuto a cinque anni attraverso le lezioni di violino, strumento che ha suonato per dieci anni nella Chamber Music Society dell’Oregon. Durante l’infanzia, a causa di una lunga e grave malattia, ha frequentato poco la scuola dell’obbligo e avuto molto tempo per suonare altri strumenti come pianoforte, oboe e clarinetto. Alla scuola superiore ha scoperto il contrabbasso.

Il passaggio successivo è stato il basso elettrico, strumento che maneggia in maniera egregia.

Ha studiato musica alla Portland State University e si è laureata in teoria musicale e composizione al Berklee College of Music di Boston, dove è diventata la più giovane insegnante, a soli vent’anni.

Ha debuttato nel 2006, pubblicando il disco Junjo. Due anni dopo, ha pubblicato il disco Esperanza.

Nel dicembre 2009, è stata chiamata a esibirsi alla cerimonia del Premio Nobel per la Pace dal vincitore, il Presidente degli Stati Uniti Barack Obama.

La sua carriera ha preso una svolta significativa nel 2011, quando è stata la prima musicista jazz a vincere il Grammy come Best New Artist per il suo terzo disco, Chamber Music Society. Nello stesso anno, ha vinto il premio Jazz Artist of the Year ai Boston Music Awards.

Radio Music Society, il suo quarto disco, ha visto la luce nel 2012. Arrivato alla decima posizione nella classifica Billboard 200, le ha portato il Grammy Award per Best Jazz Vocal Album 2013 e il Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist per il brano City of Roses.

Nel 2013 ha pubblicato il singolo We Are America ​​per protestare contro i campi di prigionia di Guantanamo, che ha visto la collaborazione di Stevie Wonder e Harry Belafonte.

Due anni dopo, è apparsa nella produzione NOVA The Great Math Mystery, in cui ha parlato della connessione tra musica e matematica.

Nel 2016 è uscito Emily’s D+Evolution, un concept album dove prevale la sua anima funk-rock.

L’anno seguente è stata la volta di Exposure. Per questo progetto, ha intrapreso un esperimento creativo a partire dal 12 settembre 2017, con l’obiettivo di creare l’album dall’inizio alla fine in 77 ore consecutive, trasmettendo in streaming l’intero processo creativo in diretta su Facebook. Una volta completato, ha pubblicato 7.777 registrazioni in edizione limitata del disco. La confezione dell’album includeva un pezzo della carta da lettere originale che aveva usato per scrivere i testi e la musica, consentendo a coloro che avevano assistito al processo di possedere un pezzo della creazione stessa, direttamente dalla fonte.

Dal 7 al 18 ottobre 2018 ha pubblicato dodici tracce, una al giorno, che insieme formano il suo settimo album in studio, 12 Little Spells. Ogni brano è stato accompagnato da un video musicale pubblicato sul suo canale YouTube e si collega a una parte del corpo. Il disco, che ha raggiunto il primo posto nella classifica Billboard’s Top Jazz Albums le ha consentito di vincere un ulteriore Grammy nella categoria Best Jazz Vocal Album.

Nel 2021 ha scritto il libretto dell’opera Iphigenia con Wayne Shorter e l’anno seguente è stata l’autrice dell’opera A Good of Her Own Making insieme a Jojo Abot. 

Il 9 agosto 2024, ha pubblicato Milton + Esperanza, con il cantante brasiliano Milton Nascimento.

Nel corso degli anni, ha creato la sua cifra artistica cercando la spiritualità in ogni nota e, senza paura di sperimentare, ha mostrato la sua evoluzione, dovuta alla sua capacità di inglobare diverse contaminazioni.

Scrive tutto, musica, arrangiamenti, testi. È un’artista che cerca sempre di spingersi oltre i propri limiti, che non si accontenta mai.

Dotata di presenza scenica magnetica e incredibile tecnica vocale, è sicuramente una donna nata per fare musica. È musica.

The Double Club Los Angeles

Presented by Prada Mode

Private event: 13 & 14 de Julio

El Double Club Los Angeles de PRADA fue concebido por el artista Carsten Höller y está ubicado en un enorme almacén en el centro, con un bar de cócteles y atracciones antiguas de un parque de diversiones.

Prada Mode presenta la tercera edición de The Double Club, un proyecto de Carsten Höller, en colaboración con Luna Luna los días 7 y 8 de marzo de 2024, en el Luna Luna Studio de Los Ángeles, California.

The Double Club Los Angeles se centra en una instalación específica basada en varios tropos característicos de la práctica artística de Carsten Höller: el principio de división y la maquinaria de la diversión dentro de la estética del carnaval.

Para The Double Club Los Angeles, Höller continúa su exploración de la duplicidad, transformando un vasto almacén en el corazón del Distrito de las Artes de Los Ángeles en un paisaje fantasioso. Höller deconstruye la experiencia del carnaval a través de tipos de atracciones familiares (carrusel, montaña rusa y columpio giratorio) investigando el espectáculo, la diversión y el deleite a través de la lente del arte contemporáneo.

La versión de Los Ángeles de The Double Club incluye dos días de programación musical curada por Carsten Höller y Drake, incluidos Craig Richards, La Cosecha Internacional, Straight Honey y DJ tsUgU, además de sesiones de DJ y actuaciones en vivo durante las noches de Travis Scott, Lil Wayne. , Anderson .Paak, Craig Richards, Arman Naféei, Cimafunk, Jojo Abot, La Goony Chonga, Mimi Xu, Pedro, Bianca Lexis, DJ Reflex.
