Bringing ‘Night for Africa’ to life: A conversation with BASO
(11/12/19 11:00am)
When one plans an event, they get a chance to exercise both their creative and logistical muscles. This is true for Jennifer Okewunmi ’21, the president of the Brandeis African Students Organization. On Saturday, Nov. 9, BASO held their annual “Night for Africa” event. Students from all over the world attended this event to celebrate the culture, achievements and history of the great continent. This year’s theme was ‘Gbé Sóké,’ which means ‘Lift Up’ in Yoruba. The event received acclaim from the student body. The extravaganza would not have been possible without the BASO executive board and other collaborators. This weekend, I corresponded with Okewunmi to discuss “Night for Africa” and other projects BASO is working on.

‘Unforgotten Songs’ addresses history that should not be forgot
(11/12/19 11:00am)
Eighty seven years ago, World War II surged across the globe with invasions and massacres. Across 6,563 miles on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, while men were fighting against the invasion from the Axis Alliance, women in occupied areas of East and South East Asia were captured and forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military. More than 30,000 women from Korea, China and other countries became what were known as “comfort women” between 1932 and 1945, and their stories were recorded in history. On Nov. 16, from 8 to 10 p.m., the “MusicUnitesUS” program will collaborate with Korean musician gamin, New York-based visual artist Chang-Jin Lee, Skakuhachi (Japanese traditional musical instrument) player Adam Robinson and the Lydian String Quartet. The concert, “Unforgotten Song,” commemorates the suffering comfort women experienced during wartime. Last week, the Justice had the opportunity to talk to Prof. Judith Eissenberg (MUS), the director of “MusicUnitesUS” and a member of the Advisory Board of the Korean Cultural Society in Boston, about the inspiration and motivation behind the concert.
‘Oy!’ will make your zayde laugh
(11/12/19 11:00am)
I wasn’t sure what to expect going into “Oy!” on its Nov. 7 opening night. I was certainly not expecting the first thing I saw to be a bunch of boss-ladies (and Lucian Dobroszycki ’23) in utterly fabulous pantsuits, but that’s what I got, and I am not complaining. I would like to dedicate this entire opening paragraph to costume designer Kat Lawrence ’21 for the many superb pantsuits and blazers in this show, as well as the heels that Shoshi Finkel ’20 wore in the scene, “Can This Marriage Be Saved.”

The ensemble consists of five female musicians who travel around the New England area to celebrate and educate the public about different cultures and styles of music from around the world. The group specializies in world jazz, and during the performance, they paid tribute to female composers and vocalists from different eras and countries. The act was broken up into seven stops at some of those countries: Israel, Chile, Japan, South Africa, Cape Verde, Germany and Brazil. Throughout the performances, the members of the group often interacted with the audience by handing out instruments to play, as well as relics from the countries.
