NO HAY BANDA is thrilled to announce its upcoming concert featuring the Canadian debut of Los Angeles-based artist White Boy Scream, alongside opening act Montreal’s Wapiti duo in collaboration with Vancouver-based composer-performer Mauricio Pauly, on Monday, March 13 at La Sala Rossa.
NO HAY BANDA Artistic Director Noam Bierstone is eager to introduce White Boy Scream to local audiences, and has also teamed up with Toronto’s Women From Space Festival to present the artist there as well. “White Boy Scream is one of the most unique and captivating artists working in the field of new/experimental music today. Her work is haunting, soul-wrenching, and incredibly powerful,” said Bierstone. “This show exemplifies our joint role as presenter and performing collective, showcasing artists that we care deeply about alongside our own collaborative projects.”
White Boy Scream is the experimental classical project from opera singer and composer Micaela Tobin. She will be performing a live version of her latest release, BAKUNAWA, which pays homage to the pre-colonial mythology of her motherland, the Philippines. A first-generation Filipina-American, Tobin dissects her operatically trained voice, stretching and manipulating it through the use of electronics. Exploring her diasporic identity and ancestral trauma, she incorporates ritualized gesture and symbolism. Part sonic ceremony, part storytelling, BAKUNAWA oscillates between extreme textures of noise, drone, and operatic sound walls. Of the album, Steve Smith of The New Yorker asserts, “opera would do well to pay attention.” The Wire magazine ranked the album #9 in their Top Releases of 2020.
Tobin is currently working on the sequel to BAKUNAWA, an experimental drone-opera, APOLAKI: Opera of the Scorched Earth, set to premiere July 2023 through the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. Tobin teaches voice and electronics on faculty at the California Institute for the Arts and through her private studio, HOWL SPACE.
“BAKUNAWA is dedicated to my ancestors and their myths; may they never be erased.”- White Boy Scream
