Lotus at Union Transfer in Philadelphia

by Chris Paul
published 2023-01-22

Lotus kicked of their 2023 winter tour on 1/21/23 and the horizons for this tour and beyond are soaring. The energy entering Union Transfer in Philadelphia was electric heightened by the Philly faithful out to enjoy a hometown show even as the Eagles prepared to continue a playoff run against rival NY Giants. Yes, the Eagles won and as a Giants fan, I was not fazed by this blow-out, thanks to having my mind blown by such an energetic effort by the hometown favorite band. Echoes of fly Eagles fly filled the air as Lotus struck fast with a first set that features some known bangers with a slow hypnotical journey through the precision that is Lotus’s technique and structure.

The Language I Speak opens the 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, January 27!

by Alexia Fraser

The Language I Speak is a feature length documentary that focuses on dialects in American culture. I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with the filmmaker, Ana Curadra, for a Q&A session about the film and her approach to filmmaking. After listening to an interview on accents in New York City, Cuadra was inspired to start a project focused on accents and dialects in the United States. She started her research by going to an event at Georgetown University for sociolinguists, where she met most of the linguists she interviewed for the film.
