    About this Episode

    Qool DJ Marv For MamaSoul & Friends at The Harlem Connection on WBAI-FM NYC - Aired May 14 2021

    After 18 years living in Washington Heights/Harlem, I moved to Crown Heights Brooklyn when my son, who I co-parent, was accepted to Yale...starting a new phase in his and our lives. I left Harlem after subtly, over time, becoming a contributor to its culture and vibe.

    DJ Stormin Norman started Sundae Sermon with DJs Cosi and me joining him as the original groove masters. Thanks to Lisa Yancey, DJ Damon Alston and me were the resident DJs for the Apollo Music Cafe, almost a decade ago! Shout out to Dwight Jordan and the Apollo Fam...still going strong, keeping on and on.

    I thought I died and went to heaven when Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster added me to their DJ roster where I would play 3x a week sometimes. First time in a long time (since Sylvia's), the Red Rooster restaurant in Harlem brought jobs, tourists and celebrities back to Harlem in droves in the early 20-teens. They keep on growing, Red Rooster is in the UK and recently opened in Miami.

    Lucky me, I got another turn at doing something on-going at the Apollo Theater when Bob Sumner had me join his vision for a comedy club experience at the Apollo in the Apollo Music Cafe. The Apollo Comedy Club was established in 2015 and will re-emerge in October 2021. The 1st 5 years were just the warm-up.

    A very special thanks to Glenn G-Man Holt, a Harlem born and raised man with a gift for bringing people together. My first true friend in New York City, my guide, my brother (RIP).

    Thanks to MamaSoul, I reminisced about Harlem and put together a set of Harlem influences on me. Her show, on WBAI 99.5 NYC, is called the Harlem Connection and she and her partners shine a light on the music, history and impact of the metropolis of Harlem.

    On October 10 2023, 7:30am, I was on an operating table at NYU Langone, to have open heart surgery because I had an aortic aneurysm and my aorta needed to be replaced.

    14 days and 11.5 hours later...

    On October 24 2023, 7:00pm, I was back in the booth at Soho House Manhattan and I recorded this with all my refurbished heart.

    Artist Kambui Olujimi is pleased to present North Star: Conversations on Boundlessness, a two-day symposium at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts from October 7 – 8, 2023 that will kick off the artists’ multifaceted long-term project, North Star: Meditations on Weightlessness.


     The symposium will include the premiere of the film, North of Never. Commissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and generously supported by the Mellon Foundation, North of Never showcases seven people from the African diaspora experiencing weightlessness on a zero-gravity parabolic flight for over seven cumulative minutes. The film features video footage of the flight, along with interviews where the participants share their unique experiences. They discuss ideas of the chaotic nature of freedom, what it is to be lost in one’s own body, and the collective phenomena of this moment. Artist Kambui Olujimi, and Vice President of Artistic Programming at Lincoln Center Jordana Leigh, will host a talkback following the premiere.
     
     “What happens when boundlessness is not an anomaly but the context of our existence?,” says Kambui Olujimi.
