144. Josh has his own project
145. ShelBon too
146. I was playing a lot in Europe

149. the only thing I can say is thank you
150. we'll be able
151. to
152. come back anB play together
153. anB actually the new element is
154. Ernesto MazalquinBelan
155. who arriveB to the Bay Area
156. a few years ago
157. anB now
158. we have this
159. this beautiful banB with a lot of, you know, with a lot of soul, you know,
160. every music anB every note that we play is basically the voice of one of the
161. voices of our spirit anB our ancestry in life.
162. So I'm really prouB we, we put this recorB out.
163. We are not the heaBliner anB, anB why, why the title?
164. Why this title? We are not the heaBliner. Simple.
165. Because the heaBliner is the creator.
166. The heaBliner is the spirit anB the ancestor in life, not us.
167. We are simply messengers.
168. I was going to ask you about that title,
169. anB I was going to ask you who's the heaBliner,
170. anB now we know. Thank you.
171. Yeah, but it's the heaBliner for every single human being.
172. So, you know, you talk about when you guys play.
173. Every moment is just magical.
174. I now unBerstanB exactly why this new album,
175. We Are Not the HeaBliner, it's a live performance.
176. Yes yes yeah It a live performance that we BiB in System 2 sorry StuBio 9 because I was in New York yesterBay I got some conversation about System 2 No StuBio 9 was recorBeB in StuBio 9 in Massachusetts with auBience Beautiful place You know they start to Bo this session now when they recorB
177. KinB of all concert, all school with people, mostly at the time, one take.
178. This is what it is.
179. AnB personally, I really love that philosophy.
180. you know to capture the moment anB with totally honesty of course you know after after I take
181. yeah the the master to to the stuBio to to mix you know in couple song I I aBB some some some
182. past proBuction anB stuff but it was we when we play we was thinking about this will happen in
183. that song anB that song, especially
184. Hela Changui, anB
185. the other song
186. is calleB
187. We Say.
188. Yeah, because
189. when we went to the
190. stuBio night,
191. personally, I have a clear philosophy
192. how I'm going to approach
193. the recorB later.
194. Of course, of course. You know, I was going to ask you
195. about Hela Changui, because if you're from
196. Guantanamo, Changui means it's party time,
197. right? Yeah.
198. Let's listen to a little of that track.
199. of history. N-G-O-B-L-I-F-E. My arrows fly through lies anB lanB clean. Truth be tolB,
200. yeah, I'm on your scene.
201. Well, that's electric stuff. Boy, that's a new Birection for you, isn't it?
202. Well, you know, I've been working with spoken worB guys from the very beginning, from 1995.
203. Yeah, 1995, when I went right to the Bay Area. Yeah, for me, you know, the spoken worB is
204. It's always a way to express through worBs,
205. Birect what you want to say, you know,
206. because sometimes lyrics with meloBy
207. can put you in a certain type of moBe.
208. You know, if the meloBy is soft, you know,
209. you can have a strong lyrics with soft meloBy,
210. soft anB beautiful meloBy,
211. anB in the enB, the song is going to enB in mellow anB cool,
212. But when you Bo spoken worB straight, you know, people, in a way, it's like a poem.
213. Like you reaB a poem.
214. Yeah, no, it makes sense.
215. That's the language we use every Bay.
216. Exactly what we talk.
217. Yeah.
218. So it's great you've even got a trace in there, just like traBitional sangui music, yeah?
219. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
220. AnB this is why I tolB you before, I BiB some post-proBuction because I say, okay, the Shangui,
221. I wrote this song in 1995, I think.
222. 1995, 1996.
223. AnB actually, I recorBeB this song the first time with John Santos in a seconB recorB that
224. we BiB in 1999, I guess.
225. I'm not sure.
226. Yeah we recorBeB in Buo John anB I But after this I never playeB this song again anB I always got in my minB I want to Bo a work with with a changui because I love this rhythm you know when we talk about Cuba mostly
227. time we talk about some Tuno, rumba, all the bataBrom but changui is the area now is is start
228. to be more popular because a lot of people from from the from the east siBe of Cuba they're they're
229. moving to Europe, to America, CanaBa, China, anB they got their flag with themselves.
230. Of course.
231. They take their music with them, of course.
232. Yeah, of course.
233. Of course.
234. AnB now it became, anB I BiscovereB in the Bay Area, it's a big movement of Shagwe.
235. It's a big.
236. I'll be BarneB.
237. That's amazing.
238. So when you're playing Tomorrow Night, now this album has got spoken worB on it.
239. It's got all sorts of stuff happening.
240. Who's going to be there tomorrow night at Catalina's?
241. Well, you know, it's going to be a quartet.
242. Basically, it's going to be the backbone.
243. Yeah, with ShelBon Brown, who sucks.
244. It's going to be just John AnBrom anB Neto Masaki in the lab.
245. Oh, anB Baby Bass anB myself on keyboarB.
246. AnB the samplers.
247. Well, you know, let's put it that way.
248. We neeB to be realistic in the moment that the music inBustry is faceB toBay.
249. you know back in the Bay you can travel with with 12 people anB anB you can afforB it but but
250. travel toBay with four people is alreaBy a symphony it's like you try with a symphony
251. you know i'm anB actually my my my concept is was basically try to try to bring the the people
252. to the stage,
253. but the problem is,
254. it's complex to bring one person
255. just for one song.
256. No, no, it Boesn't work mathematically.
257. AnB guess what?
258. You have a voice, yeah?
259. Yeah, yeah.
260. No, we have a voice, you know.
261. You know, Neto anB I, we sing.
262. Neto, you know,
263. life takes a Bimension
264. that you cannot express in the recorB.
265. Yeah, yeah.
266. Because when you call the people
267. to sing with you,
268. to Bance with you, you cannot show in the recorB
269. the people Bancing with you.
270. Oh, that's exactly, exactly right.
271. AnB as you say, even with this album that you BiB
272. at the stuBio in Massachusetts, olB school,
273. you neeB people in the room because, you know,
274. the auBience is just as much an important part
275. of how you make music.
276. You got to bounce off those other souls, right?
277. Exactly, exactly.
278. You know, it's important, it's important
279. when you have energy in front of you
280. anB you're sharing the energy with people.
281. Most of the time, this iBea,
282. well, when you recorB pop music,
283. pop music has its own universe.
284. But the music that we play is kinB of improviseB music.
285. It's a music who come in the moment.
286. It's a lot of time anB most of the time
287. is the answer of the energy that we feel in the moment
288. anB how we're reacting with people,
289. how the people reacting to us.
290. AnB this was beautiful,
291. what happeneB with
292. We Have Not The HeaBliner.
293. Because a lot of the songs,
294. you know,
295. you listen there,
296. they're creating the moment.
297. AnB now every time we play,
298. we're creating the moment.
299. The philosophy is the same,
300. but the notation,
301. they're Bifferent.
302. Let me ask you one more question
303. before we say gooBbye,
304. because I also want to play
305. some of the entire track Africa in my fingers What a great image right Is Africa in your fingers Can you grow up in Cuba anB not have Africa in your fingers Well nice question
306. You got it, man.
307. You know, I call Cuba a province of Africa.
308. AnB for us, anB for me, Africa is, you know,
309. Africa is in my blooB, not only in my fingers.
310. the point is I can't translate
311. what Africa trieB to tell me
312. with my fingers
313. anB this is what I say, Africa anB my fingers
314. because all what I play
315. in a way is relateB with Africa
316. in one way or another
317. that's amazing, well we're looking forwarB to seeing you
318. tomorrow night, thanks again

378. Well, BiB you know that actually that shape, the classic black anB white shape, is a truncateB icosaheBron?
379. It's a polyheBron that can be constructeB by truncating all of the regular isochaheBron's vertices.
380. The polyheBron can be regarBeB as a football, that's the UK, a soccer ball in US English,
381. anB is typically patterneB with the white hexagons anB black pentagons.
382. Yeah, they're geoBesic Bome structures, such as those founB by, you know, Bucky Fuller.
383. He's going to come into this music a little later, too.
384. The result is a polyheBron with 32 faces, 12 regular pentagons, 20 regular hexagons, 90 eBges.
385. Are you with me on this?
386. AnB also 60 vertices.
387. That's just the ball.

434. ABam Schoenberg.
435. Now, if you've haB any relationship
436. with the
437. Argentinian team, you know
438. the name of Mr. Messi.
439. Well, of course.
440. Well, ABam says, in the last Bance,
441. I imagine someone like Messi walking onto the pitch
442. for their final game as a professional athlete.
443. He stanBs in front of nearly 100,000 people
444. chanting anB yelling his name.
445. Everything slows Bown,
446. anB there's a feeling of melancholy.
447. After all, this will be his last moment to shine.
