Carrizozo Music, Inc. and the New Mexico Humanities Council present Todd Green in a lecture and concert featuring instruments from Africa and the Middle East.  The event will take place on Thursday, February 14, at 5 PM at the Carrizozo School Old Gym.  Multi-Instrumentalist Todd Green performs original music on over 30 acoustic strings, flutes and percussion instruments from all over the world, inspired by many different cultures in the Middle East, Central Asia, Far East and South America. His custom-built electronic system allows him to layer instruments as he performs, which in effect turns him into a high-tech one-man-band of World Music. As Todd takes his audience on a fascinating tour of many countries and their diverse styles of music, he intersperses his playing with entertaining and informative explanations of the music and the instruments. Todd’s artistic mission is to "help bring down the barriers that divide us by experiencing other cultures through their music."
At 3PM, in the Old Gym, Todd will present a concert for Carrizozo School students.  All events are free and open to the general public.
Todd Green began studying guitar at the age of ten. He has been writing and performing his own music professionally since the age of fifteen. He studied composition and arrangement at Berklee College of Music, in Boston, Mass. At the same time he was studying privately with Mick Goodrich, jazz guitar legend at New England Conservatory of Music, Pat Metheny, Grammy Award winning guitarist and George Benson, international recording star. After spending five years in Boston, he moved to New York City where he performed with the top echelon of studio musicians and toured with bands throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
While in New York, he began studying Western Flute, East Indian Bansuri Bamboo Flute (with Steve Gorn), and Tablas (Indian hand drums) with Ray Spiegel. He now lives in Northern Nevada near Lake Tahoe.  Todd performs nationally as a multi-instrumental solo artist in the college and fine arts markets. Frequently, along with his concerts, Todd conducts college master classes and interactive school clinics and assemblies. His columns on improvisation have been published in Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine
Other events in the Carrizozo Music, Inc. 2019 spring season include the Sunday, March 31, fundraising Italian dinner, silent auction and concert featuring Lone Pinon and Margot Leverett.  Saturday, April 13 brings a collaboration with the artists of Carrizozo in celebration of World Art Day.  William Feasley, guitar, has developed a program entitled Echos of Goya, a powerpoint program of Goya paintings accompanied by music of the time.  On Monday, May 13, James Onstad, tenor, and David Leisner, guitar, will present a program of songs and lieder, many composed by Mr. Leisner.

About the Pow-wow!

Carrizozo Music, Inc. invites you to attend our 1st Annual Inter-Tribal Pow-Wow to be held on Saturday, October 6th, 9 AM -10 PM, and Sunday, October 7th, 9 AM-4 PM on the Carrizozo High School Football Field.  The free event will feature Native American Dancers and Drummers from all over the Southwest and vendors with both Native and local art, crafts, food and drinks.
A Pow-wow is a social gathering held by many different Native American communities. A modern pow-wow is a specific type of event for Native American people to meet and dance, sing, socialize, and honor their cultures.  Our head staff includes Head Man Harley Tallchief, Head Woman Autumn Pilcher from Mescalero, Northern Drum Host NDN Horse, Southern Drum the Comanche Boyz, Emcee Steve Zavala and Arena Director Juan Pina. 
The Pow-wow begins with the Grand Entry. During the Grand Entry, everyone is asked to stand as the flags are brought into the arena by the veterans. Following the veterans are other important guests of the powwow including Tribal Chiefs, Princesses, Elders, and Pow Wow organizers. Next in line are the men dancers, followed by the women dancers. Once everyone is in the arena, the song ends and a song is sung to honor the flags and the veterans. After a prayer, the dancing resumes, usually with a few round dances. After the round dances, intertribal dancing songs are sung and everyone dances to the beat of the drum.  At contest Pow-wows, the dancers compete in dance and age categories for prizes.  
Pow-wow singers are very important part of the Native American culture.  The songs are of many varieties, from religious to war to social.  Some songs today are sung in “vocables” with no words.
Dances have always been a very important part of the life of the American Indian. Most dances seen at Pow-wows today are social dances which might have had different meanings in earlier days. Although dance styles and content have changed, their meaning and importance has not. The outfits worn by the dancers, like the styles of clothing today evolve over time, it is not a stagnant culture, but a vibrant and changing way of life.  The dance styles seen most frequently at modern Pow Wows include Chicken, Grass, Fancy, Straight and Northern Traditional for the men.  The women dance Buckskin, Cloth, Jingle and Fancy Shawl.  Depending on the region, you may see other dance styles such as Smoke, Bird or Gourd Dancing.
For vendor and general information for the Pow-wow, please call Fran at 575-973-0571 or Larry at 432-556-1594.   Thanks to a NM Arts Grant and the NEA for making this event possible.
