MAYA JUPITER celebrates the release of NEVER SAID YES

Sticky Post By On September 20, 2018

Maya Jupiter stands resolute on solid ground. In many respects, her poise reflects a dignified yet unstoppable storm raging within a lyrical savant. If ever there were an eye so fixed on the voices of the oppressed, and an ear tuned into the deafening silence of a sedated landscape bathed in inertia, it’s hers. Standing on the battleground with a mic in her hand, she drops bombs over frenetic beats and punk riffs laced with deep cultural nuance, head nods to the Ancestors. The pride of original score and live instrumentation permeates the vibration.

But this is only a part of the story. Meshed within her new album, Never Said Yes, is the emergence of maternal love. The plurality of woman as a mother, wife, niece, daughter and granddaughter, gazing across generations, feeling the wonderment of birth, the joy and responsibility of what this embodies and what a woman is capable of. Feminism most high.

While this may seem like an uncommon coupling, for artivists and activists alike, this is life. It brings forward the human aspect that sits behind the front line, a clever insight into countless women who march forward in a state of emergency for the betterment of humanity.

Born in La Paz, Mexico to a Mexican Father and Turkish Mother, Maya grew up in Sydney, Australia. She had a solid career in music and entertainment within Australia before leaving to further her solo career in the United States. Moving to Los Angeles in 2008, she continued to grow her passion using the of power music as a tool to make a positive difference in her community.  This has been the underlying purpose of her life’s work.

It is with this ideal that she co-founded Artivist Entertainment, a company committed to creating and supporting art and music that inspires positive social change alongside Quetzal Flores, Veronica Gonzales, Alberto Lopez and Aloe Blacc. Each artist is instrumental in nurturing Maya’s agency of voice, supporting her vision and realization of this album.

Never Said Yes explores moments in time, informed by those who came before us, who stand with us, against us and those who will come long after we’ve gone. You get a taste of an unapologetic storyteller emboldened by the struggle as an agent of change, with the mic in one hand and a baby on the hip – bringing others forward in Revolution.

GRAMMY Award® winning band Quetzal celebrates the release of its seventh studio album The Eternal Getdown at the Aratani Theatre in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Special guest performers include Aloe Blacc, Ramón Gutiérrez, Rocío Marrón, César Castro, and Joey De Léon.

 

For more than 20 years, the East L.A. Chican@ rock group has been fighting oppression with their unique, culturally diverse soundscapes. The Eternal Getdown (available on March 25th) is Quetzal’s second Tradiciones/Traditions series release under Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. Based in artivism (art + activism), feminist ideals, and the relentless belief that making music together has the profound potential for positive social change, The Eternal Getdown is hailing us to make some noise, to speak up, and to stomp forward in a time that is all too critical. Quetzal’s previous Folkways Recordings album titled Imaginaries, was recognized by The Recording Academy® with a GRAMMY Award® for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album in 2012.

 

Founding band member Quetzal Flores, and partner Martha González, have been creating music that speaks to the responsibility of bearing witness to one’s community and acting as agents of transformation. Having grown up in East L.A., they internalized the unique overlap of diverse cultures, sounds, and struggles, and The Eternal Getdown is a continuation of their artivist efforts. Quetzal’s music incorporates traditional son jarocho, Cuban batá, funk, Chicano rock, soul, and rhythm and blues, which encourages listeners to recognize the fluidity of the varying sounds, and the historical and ancestral relationship between them. “Quetzal has long served as a mirror that reflects back affirmations of belonging and thriving in the face of brutality.  This album and concert is a call to humanity to re-member the fabric that binds us and nurtures us, community,” said Martha.
“JACCC is so excited to present the album release concert for Quetzal’s The Eternal Getdown,” said Alison De La Cruz, Director of Performing Arts & Community Engagement. “This album is musical medicine and fortifies our communities for the current struggles to create meaningful human connections and change in a time of growing fear and isolation. We are excited to welcome not only the 9 members of Quetzal to our stage, but the over 16 guest artists who will truly make this show a night that will be talked about for years to come.”

“I was inspired to speak about the school-to-prison pipeline, the prison industrial complex and violence I’ve been witnessing,” said Maya Jupiter. “The system we have doesn’t work, we need to re-imagine a healthier society. That’s why I wrote the song ‘Crumble’ and why I wanted to be a part of the #SchoolsNotPrisons tour.”

MAYA JUPITER’S NEW VIDEO “MADRE TIERRA” HONORS WOMEN IN BEAUTY, STRENGTH AND THE POWER OF HER WRATH

Sticky Post By On August 19, 2016
Image from Maya Jupiter's

JUPITER EXPRESSES THE POWER OF WOMEN AND REFERENCES BLACK LIVES MATTER IN HER CALL TO “SAY HER NAME” IN THE SONG’S POWERFUL LYRICS

Los Angeles, CA (August 19, 2016): Artivist, MC and youth mentor Maya Jupiter releases her new music video “Madre Tierra” (Mother Earth) today, a song that demonstrates how women mirror the Earth in beauty and strength but also in the power of her wrath. “Madre Tierra” interrogates women’s varied roles in the home, the public sphere, on political levels and all the ways we shape social political culture, drawing on various historical references of women who have had significant impact on the world and in critical thought. The video both in imagery and lyrical content reminds the viewer of the important work women do on a daily basis.

The video’s director Kimberly Bautista, filmmaker and crusader against violence towards women, incorporates the work of Mexican animator Diego Vargas to create visually powerful imagery to compliment the strong lyrics that make up the song.

The video releases today via Maya Jupiter’s YouTube page at www.youtube.com/mayajupiter where Maya will also host a live stream discussion event at 8:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time), Friday, August 19th. The discussion will include special guest Jollene Levid of Af3irm, director Kimberly Bautista, choreographer Kara Mack, Tongan vocalist SistaNative and Dr. Martha Gonzalez of Quetzal.

“’Madre Tierra’” is my way of showing the power of women as Mother Earth. I wanted to express all the ways we love, nurture, care, fight and struggle,” said Maya Jupiter. The lyrics also reference the Black Lives Matter movement through a call to “Say Her Name” which addresses all the black women’s lives that have been lost to police brutality and other forms of violence against women of color throughout the world. Maya adds, “It is important to honor the women we have lost to violence and hold space for them. I also wanted to show how we are all connected globally and generationally in our various struggles. My Mother sent me a very special scarf to wear in the video; it comes from my Great-Grandmother’s village Çamlıhemşin, in Turkey. I wore it to honor my ancestors and to remind myself of the long line of women who fought for me.”

Keeping with Artivist tradition, especially in light of the state sanctioned violence against brown and black lives, Maya Jupiter’s intention is to instigate thought and discussion and to create generative moments that inspire people in the struggle.
