#twerking: the butt dance

While everyone is talking about Miley Cyrus's latest moves, no one is talking about Ivory Coast and a dance called the Mapouka. Known as the butt dance, it was twerking before twerking was twerking.

Alicia Keys :: Powerful. Vulnerable. Elegant. Tough. A strong songstress talking what’s real.

"Too often our world is divisive and cruel where it needs to be uniting and loving. We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery, and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there’s nothing we can do. If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other. I’ve seen so many lives turn around from the impossible. I have come to embrace the idea that even the simplest act of understanding, love, and attention can produce the biggest results." - Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys: Many things inspire me. First and foremost, my family, my husband, and our son, Egypt. I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way. I’m also inspired by many of my friends, colleagues, and the extraordinary people I’ve been fortunate...

Everyone Needs To Read This

“To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble.”

Bill Watterson retired from writing and drawing "Calvin & Hobbes" about 18 years ago, but the timelessness of his message -- to always remain thoughtful, imaginative, and playful -- will stick in our culture forever, if we're lucky. Case in point: Cartoonist Gavin Aung Than, who pens comics...

"La Bamba" - Los Lobos (1987)

#OnThisDay, in the year 1987, "La Bamba" becomes a #1 hit for Los Lobos and, posthumously, Ritchie Valens after the most famous plane crash in music history, which would be dubbed as "the Day the Music Died."

Richard Stevens Valenzuela was a 17-year-old San Fernando Valley high school student when he adapted "La Bamba," a traditional folk song from Veracruz, Mexico, into the vernacular of rock and roll. In climbing to #22 on the Billboard pop chart in January 1959, "La Bamba" became the biggest Spanish-language rock and roll hit in history. The release of the hugely successful Hollywood biopic La Bamba sent the song from which it took its title on a second run up the pop charts, culminating in its ascent to the #1 slot on this day in 1987.

La Bamba (1987) is an American biographical film written and directed by Luis Valdez. The picture features Lou Diamond Phillips, Esai Morales, Rosanna DeSoto...

Benny Goodman at The Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles, CA (1935)

#Onthisday in 1935, the Swing Era erupts.

The sound of #swing, which utterly dominated the American popular-music scene in the late 1930s and early 1940s, instantly evokes images of tuxedo-clad Big Bands and dance floors crowded with exuberant jitterbugs dancing the #Shag and the #LindyHop. While the roots of swing music clearly lie in earlier forms of jazz—and particularly in African-American jazz performance styles—swing as we know it may just have been born at a specific time and in a specific place, with an electric performance by one particular Big Band for one particularly enthusiastic audience. The time and place was August 21, 1935, at the Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles, California, where Benny Goodman and his band emphatically opened the Swing Era with an exuberant performance witnessed by thousands of young fans in the live audience and millions more tuning in to a live radio broadcast.

Many say this broadcast was the dawn of the swing era.
