VCAMbient: The Uncolonized Watermelon Medley with Fadi Totah ’24
Wednesday, May 8, 2024
Noon, VCAM Lounge
Join Fadi as they take you on a journey to sample a musical slice of Watermelon. Inspired by their upbringing in Ramallah, Uncolonized Watermelon Medley is a musical collection that spans the traditional, folkloric, rap, pop, and electronic scenes of Palestine.
Now in its third year, VCAMbient is an opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to fill the cavernous space of VCAM with their favorite sounds–at a volume that permits the ongoing business of teaching, learning, and working in the building. Make a playlist, or better yet, bring an instrument, start playing/streaming, and see what happens. Previous sessions have focused on femininity and introspection in Rap, the music of Ryuichi Sakamoto, R&B from the 70s to the present, and sci-fi film soundtracks, among many other genres, and generated contemplation and conversation in the VCAM Lounge.
