ICONS: Latin Rhythms Arrives at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts

Flushing, Queens … we’re coming with rhythm, corazón, and a whole lot of sabor!

On May 15, ICONS: Latin Rhythms arrives at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts for a night that celebrates the music that lives in our bodies: the songs we grew up with, danced to, and carry forward. Together with my longtime collaborators Jaime Lozano and Adrian Alea, and an incredible lineup of some of my core musical friends and special guests, we’re bringing these sounds to life with new energy, theatricality, and soul.

From legends like Rubén Blades and Oscar D’León to the spirit of Buena Vista Social Club (and my own original music, of course!) this is a celebration of where we come from and how we keep it alive.

Thank you to Kupferberg Center for bringing us back after our performance at the Gantries last summer, and to everyone coming to sing, dance, and feel this with us.

Besos,
Migguel Anggelo

Two Spectacular Nights at Joe’s Pub Celebrating Salsa!

What a joy it was to bring ICONS to Joe’s Pub for two unforgettable nights, the second of which was SOLD OUT! Together with my longtime collaborators – musical director and composer Jaime Lozano and director Adrian Alea – we celebrated salsa, rhythm, joy, and the resilience of our community.

I am so grateful to the incredible musicians, singers, and our wonderful guest artists who filled the room with fire and heart. Thank you Joel Mateo (drums), Yahir Montes (bass), Sara Ornelas, Mayelah Barrera, and Adriana Santiago (singers), and incredible cameos by Mai-Elka Prado Gil (singer-songwriter and producer), Fonda Koxx (drag artist), Pietra Parker (drag artist), and Molly Hagman and Smarlin Fabian (salsa dancers). Thanks also to our stage manager Blake Kile, and producers / managers David Stark and Greg Kastelman.

Thank you to Joe’s Pub and The Public Theater for welcoming us home once again and to everyone who came to dance, sing, and celebrate the legacy of our music. Thank you to the audiences who came and brought their heart and soul, too.

Stay tuned – our journey with ICONS continues, and the next chapter is already in the works.

Besos,
Migguel Anggelo

JOY — A SNEAK PEEK

It’s a pleasure to share this sizzle reel from JOY, our work-in-progress production that was presented as part of Lincoln Center’s Festival of Firsts this past October. A big thank you to my invisible friends for coming out and sharing this special night with us.

With a fresh start to 2024, I am getting back into the studio with my dear Director, Choreographer and Co-creator, Rosie Hererra, to continue to develop this project. There are so many take-aways from putting the work in front of an audience, and we can’t wait to dive back in.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this very first look!  We’ll keep you up to date on exciting, new developments.  There are a lot of things percolating.

LINCOLN CENTER’S FESTIVAL OF FIRSTS SHARES THE FIRST GLIMPSE OF JOY

I’m thrilled to introduce my new project called JOY, Invisible Friends!

We are so excited to share a first sneak peek of this work-in-progress at the Lincoln Center’s Festival of Firsts on October 25th at 7:30 pm!  I am truly honored to be part of the festival lineup, which includes such an inspiring group of artists, some of which are also dear friends.

JOY is a very different kind of stage production for me. When I was 16 years old, I first saw Marcel Marceau perform, and I was blown away by how much he conveyed without speaking a single word. In JOY, I play a character inspired by Marceu’s iconic Bip the Clown, exploring the power of silence in the pursuit of finding my voice, in finding my joy.

Consistent with the Festival’s intentions, I am collaborating with two artists I greatly admire for the first time as well. Michelle J. Rodriguez is collaborating with me on the original music of JOY.  She will also be performing in the piece with me alongside some truly amazing musicians, and the work is directed, choreographed and created in collaboration with the AMAZING Rosie Hererra.

Giant thanks to everyone at Lincoln Center for championing artists and the development of their new work. Your support means the world.  The new slogan: SEE YOURSELF AT LINCOLN CENTER is really moving to me. When I think of the little kid in Venezuela with big dreams such a long time ago . . .

It gets better.  The presentation is FREE for everyone! Tickets are available on a first come first serve basis, or the Monday before, you can reserve fast track tickets. Click HERE for more information.

We can’t wait to share!

ENGLISH WITH AN ACCENT, (THE ALBUM) IS OUT!

I am so excited!  My third album, English with an Accent is officially ready for your listening pleasure!

It’s one part of a transdisciplinary project bridging an album of original music with a new stage production, both created with my longtime collaborator and music director, Jaime Lozano.  The album contains artist contributions from around the globe, and was recorded in both New York and Monterrey, Mexico.

The story of English with an Accent follows an immigrant caterpillar’s arrival in New York City with hopes of becoming a butterfly. It explores the attainability of the American dream through themes of freedom, safety and self-worth, and you can give a listen wherever you get your music or simply bounce to the Music tab on this site.

Giant thanks go out to mi pana, Jaime Lozano who produced, orchestrated, and co-wrote many of the songs with me as well as his partner in crime, Demián Cantú, who co-produced, edited, mixed and mastered the album.

I hope you enjoy this labor of love. We’re very proud of it.

I can’t wait to share this vision I’ve had — of a dreamer caterpillar who crawled and crawled, without stopping — and bringing this metaphor to life with original music, dance-theater … and really every artistic tool I can.  Bring your accent with you this December, so we all can dream together.

ENGLISH WITH AN ACCENT PREVIEWS IN WASHINGTON D.C.

We are thrilled to announce that our new, hybrid work of dance and theater, English with an Accent will preview in Washington D.C. on April 1, 2022. This is an incredibly meaningful work for me, narrated by a storytelling song-cycle of original music and backed by a company of dancers and singers, largely composed of immigrants.

The story is a semi-autobiographical fable that follows the journey of a newly arrived caterpillar in New York City. Fleeing the crime and noxious dictatorship of Venezuela, and unsure of which direction his insect life is taking, the protagonist of the story wonders: is he really a caterpillar, or just a lowly worm? As the caterpillar explores the streets of New York City, he begins to question his own identity as well as the promise of the “American Dream.”

We are incredibly honored to be co-presented by Washington Performing Arts and GALA Hispanic Theatre with generous co-commissioning support by the Cultural Arts Center at Montgomery College. We hope you can join us!

UP NEXT: NEW YORK LIVE ARTS ARTERY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

It’s an honor to be included in the upcoming showcase: New York Live Arts Live Artery CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, on January 10, 2021, created for the APAP community of Presenters and Producers. New York Live Arts has been a wonderful supporter of our new, ensemble work in development: English with an Accent, and it’s an honor to be included among such talented artists.

Narrated by a storytelling song-cycle and backed by a company of six dancers and singers, the story of EWAA centers around a newly emigrated insect in New York City, unsure of which direction his life is taking. Is he really a caterpillar, or just a lowly worm? Will he become the butterfly of his dreams? And what does becoming a butterfly mean in the first place? He begins to question the promise of the American dream: freedom, safety, and democracy. Are they even attainable?

We will continue to update you on the progress of this new work. On that you can depend!

THANK YOU, BROADWAY WORLD!

What an honor! Broadway World has nominated our outrageously queer and gender-bending concert experience, LatinXoxo as 2020’s Best Alternative Cabaret Show. And they have such nice things to say too: “This artist extraordinaire is looking to push boundaries and take things to the next level, packing rooms like Joe’s Pub and redefining what a cabaret show could, and should, look like.”

A BIG thank you to Broadway World, but making theater is a giant team sport, and I want to take a moment to give a standing ovation to my talented collaborators for whom this nomination is testament to their brilliance: Director, Srđa Vasiljević, Book writer, J. Julian Christopher, Musical Director, Jaime Lozano, and Costume Designer, Ryan Park. THANK YOU, team. I couldn’t do this without YOU.

Hugs,

TRUTH TO POWER CAFÉ: ENGLISH WITH AN ACCENT PREMIERES AT MC CULTURAL ARTS CENTER

We are proud to announce our collaboration with Jeremy Goldstein and London Artists Projects. Presented by MC Cultural Arts Center in Maryland, this live-streamed event unites a new stage work we are developing called English with an Accent with Jeremy Goldstein’s acclaimed Truth to Power Café and community participants from Montgomery College Cultural Arts Center.

English with an Accent (EWAA) will ultimately have a parallel release as a concept album of original music, but as a live experience, EWAA puts movement and dance-theater front and center, narrated by a storytelling song-cycle and backed by a company of six dancers and singers.

In EWAA, I am a budding caterpillar, a newly emigrated insect in New York City, unsure of which direction my life is taking. Am I really a caterpillar, or just a lowly worm? Will I become the butterfly of my dreams? And what does becoming a butterfly mean in the first place? In it, I question the promise of the American dream: freedom, safety, and democracy. Are they even attainable?

For this virtual mashup, we have filmed three songs to whet the appetite and hope you will join us for a profound theatrical reflection on loss, hope, and resistance on October 10th at 2:00 and 7:00 PM.

MAID IN AMERICA PREMIERES AT THE CRIMINAL QUEERNESS FESTIVAL

I’m excited to share that National Queer Theater and Dixon Place, in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs and NYC Pride premiered our original, short film as part of the 2020 Criminal Queerness Festival this past June. It’s inspired by my experiences as a hotel maid with hopes of performing on the grand stage. As I clean and sing my heart out, I reflect: Can the American Dream be achieved or is it a figment of an immigrant’s imagination?

THANK YOU T MAGAZINE AND THE NEW YORK TIMES!

I am so honored to be featured in T MAGAZINE, THE NEW YORK TIMES style magazine!  Thank you, Nick Marino, for including me in “One Good Meal,” a column that focuses on food and recipes with meaning.

My work as a performer often focuses on “home” and “safety,”  and for me, the arepas that all Venezuelans eat and love, keep me connected to my home, family, and friends – even though I have not lived in Venezuela since 2002.

I’m happy to share my recipe with all of YOU.

BACK AT JOE’S PUB WITH A BRAND, NEW SHOW: LatinoXoxo – An Unrequited Serenata

We are thrilled to announce that we will be returning to Joe’s Pub at The Public with a new, theatrical concert experience inspired by the drama and passion of the boleros of my Latin American youth: LatinoXoxo – An Unrequited Serenata. Boleros have always been the way Latins express their emotions though song. Whether about sadness, flirtation, expressions of passionate rage, or just elemental love, boleros are the voice of the heart, and this work is overflowing with them!

This show is a trans-formative journey of romance – one free from gender roles and guided by re-imagined Latin icons of love. We’re blending classic Spanish love songs, their contemporary pop counterparts, and original compositions, and you can depend on all kinds of surprises, for sure!

I am also thrilled to have two, new collaborators joining myself and my wonderful Musical Director and Arranger, Jaime Lozano in the creation of this piece. J. Julian Christopher is writing the book, and the work is being Directed and Developed by Srđa Vasiljević.

I hope you’ll join us!

There was tremendous reaction to this gallery of characters found in a Latino, gay nightclub when I first performed it as part of The Clemente Soto’s Fearless Festival last October, and David and I have taken audience feedback (and our own feelings) and gone back into the studio to continue building and clarifying the work.

We’ll continue to share news about the production as we have it, but in the meantime, if you will be on the Cape (or want to be!), please join us!

THANK YOU, CALL ME ADAM!

Happy to share an interview that Grace McLean and I did with Call Me Adam from snowy Russia where we are on the last legs of our month-long, U.S. State Department tour of The Songbooks of the Americas. It’s been an AMAZING experience sharing the stage (and the tour bus!) with Grace and such incredible musicians, and our chat with Adam delves into that experience and more.

THANK YOU, BROADWAY WORLD!

It’s an honor to be on our second State Department tour of Russia as cultural attachés, and it’s extra special this time around because I am sharing the stage with the amazingly talented Grace McLean. The show is called The Songbooks of the Americas, where we parallel the music of The Great American Songbook with the iconic songs of the Latin Americas, all written in the same time period.

Next Up: Welcome to la Misa, Baby

I’m excited and honored to premiere a new play that I have been working on with co-writer, director, and Obie Award winner David Drake called Welcome to la Misa, Baby. The piece is part of The Clemente’s Fearless series this fall, featuring LGBTQ artists presenting works in direct response to the tragedy in Orlando and continuing attacks against the LGBTQ community.

I’ll swirl through a gallery or characters found in the most sacred of places in queer culture: The Gay Disco. Whether looking for love, sex, friends, drugs, freedom of expression, or a way to escape their mother, Welcome to La Misa, Baby delves into the Latino immigrant experience of what it means to be gay in America today, with both humor and poignancy in equal measure.

We’ll be at the Flamboyan Theater at The Clemente Cultural Center on . . .

Thursday, October 26th, 7:30pm
Friday, October 27th, 7:30pm
Sunday, October 29th, 3:00pm

Thank You, U.S. State Department and the People of Russia!

What an incredible experience we had in Russia, on tour as a cultural envoy under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State. It was a wild, inspiring, moving and artistically brilliant 20 days, and I can’t thank our friends from the Russian embassy and the U.S. State Department enough for presenting us and arranging for such an fabulous tour. We performed in 10 cities, met hundreds of wonderful people, and regardless of the political differences of our governments, we experienced that people are people. They love good music, great energy, they want to dance, and have a good time, and we had a GREAT time with them. A giant hug to our new friends in Russia. We can’t wait to return!

Tom: My musical inspiration can come from anywhere: Life experience, other musicians, paintings, books. If you are open enough, many things can be inspirational.

Tom: There have been so many. Too many to name actually. Some that stand out at the moment are, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Duke Ellington, Charlie Christian, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Charles Ives‎, Stravinsky.

Migguel: What is your artistic dream?

Tom: I feel that I’m living my artistic dream now. Playing with my musical peers is fantastic. I have recorded a brand new CD of original music and will be touring and playing that music. That is an artistic dream come true.
