More information on Standing On The Corner:
STANDING ON THE CORNER is an Earth-based Art Ensemble founded in 2016 by Shamel Cee Mystery, aka Gio Escobar, in Brooklyn, New York. The amorphous collective released their eponymous debut album in 2016 followed by the critically acclaimed 2017 mixtape RED BURNS. Inspired by and made for the resilience and upheaval of all people of the African diaspora, Standing On The Corner thrives in fugitivity: they can appear on any given Night as the beat of one drum, as an orchestra of 30, or as a phantom entirely, but always on the run. The Ensemble produces musical, visual, and experiential works that equate hyperlocal incidence to cosmological wisdom. Visiting sites of emotional resonance under the weight of subjective histories, SOTC seeks to uncover the mysteries of hidden truths through composition, concert happenings, multimedia exhibitions, video installation, and focused interpretation.
