UNIQUE YOUTH

THE ORIGIN OF K-POP PODCAST

Every year, N4N makes a project for Black History Month, and this year’s project is named “Black Gold” to honor the history of our favorite songs and genres. Mia and Alia contributed on behalf of Excelsior, by explaining the origin of 90s K-Pop, which originates from African American music and culture. Listenatthelinkabove!

The youth celebrated Black History Month during a special Community Meeting. We sang “So Strong” and played Four Corners Trivia, using questions about important events and people. The youth were too good at the trivia to be stumped, and got most of thequestionscorrect.

Notes For Notes collaborated with Kim in theArtroomtocreateamusicvideoforthe youth’s recording of “So Strong”! The youth drew their response to the question, “What makes you strong at Excelsior?” The result is this adorable slideshow of youth art, which was also submitted to the BGCA NationalArtCompetition.

Bella came back to the studio to create a cover of the new Wicked movie version of “Defying Gravity”. She wants to show how much she’s grown as a vocalist since she’s started working with Notes For Notes. Click the link above to listen to Bella belt her heartout!
