How New Orleans Has Impacted LEAF

In creating LEAF, New Orleans (NOLA) was a guiding inspiration. When Hurricane Katrina hit, Bill Taylor of Tipitina's was staying at Lake Eden. For the next two months the Tipitina's Foundation operated out of LEAF's office.

LEAFers donated $100,000 worth of instruments that we matched (many were donated from an NPR story) and a LEAF caravan connected the instruments to amazing musicians Corey Henry and Charmaine Neville. Charmaine opened up her home, and charmed us with brilliant stories while we did everything we could to help restore her fabulous home. LEAF worked with the amazing Sunpie Barnes and the Black Men of Labor to raise instruments funds to start a youth brass band (pictured). The 20th LEAF Festival (2005) featured NOLA musicians.

The first LEAF Schools & Streets program was the BlueBrass Project of Appalachian with young NOLA musicians.

Steve Mann introduced me to the Mardi Gras Indian culture, allowing me to meet Chief Shaka Zulu and Imhotep.

Immediately, LEAF was powerfully changed. LEAF's NOLA connection grew when our dear friend and visionary Greg Lucas started working with the historic Preservation Hall Band with an open door to work for the youth of LEAF Delta Jazz Band. Born through the protection of slaves by the Choctaw and Homa first nations in the mid 19th century, a cultural fusion of African, Caribbean, and Indigenous spiritual and traditions merged to create a powerful tradition all its own. The Mardi Gras Indians sew their great ceremonial garments for over 320 days a year, embellishing richly died feathers numbering the thousands with tens of thousands of beads.Since Katrina, many Big Chiefs (of the Mardi Gras Indians) no longer have the resources to sew their great garments. To honor the call, LEAF Community Arts will be hosting a Voices of Congo Square Pavilion that will serve as a beautiful gallery space, information epicenter, and fundraising drive to support the Mardi Gras Indians through the purchasing of feathers for the chiefs. Visit the Voices of Congo Square Pavilion next to the LEAF Community Arts Pavillion near Lakeside main stage to explore and support this incredible New Orleans native culture!

Climbing POETree Change with Voice & Heart Brilliant, provocative, social justice driven, Alixa & Naima from Climbing POETree have spent the last three days in a LEAF Schools & Streets Residency at Asheville High School. Climbing PoeTree is the combined force of two boundary-breaking soul sisters who have sharpened their art as a tool for popular education, community organizing, and personal transformation.

Alixa and Naima interweave spoken word, hip hop, and award-winning multimedia theater to expose injustice, channel hope into vision, and make a better future visible, immediate, and irresistible. With flawless cadence and impeccable lyricism, Alixa and Naima weave together their voices to tell powerful stories of love and liberation, state and personal violence, social, environmental, racial justice.

Empowering Global Youth & Collaborating to Preserve Cultural Traditions Where in the WORLD is LEAF International at Work Today?

Bequia | Costa Rica | Guatemala | Haiti | India | Kenya | Mexico | Panama | Rwanda | Tanzania

LEAF International Envisions A World... ...Where communities actively engage their youth in learning their cultural music and arts traditions, empowering them with the life skills necessary to be active agents of change in their communities, and in our world at large. It is this that serves as our inspiration as we forge relationships with communities around the world to strengthen dynamic cultural preservation programs by engaging local Teaching Artists and using traditional instruments and costumes.

LEAF International Haiti & Guatemala Hosted by Asheville’s Hanger Hall LEAF International believes in the positive impact a cross-cultural experience that music can have on the youth of the world. This weekend is the first time LEAF International is inviting the top three students, whom are aspiring Teaching Artists, from two programs - Haiti & Guatemala to share their musical traditions at Festival.

LEAF Asheville youth from Hanger Hall will have LEAF International the chance to broaden their worldviews as International _________ they listen to the unique sounds of tradi_________ Haiti tional Guatemalan Marimba and guitar, and Guatemala Est. 2013 see the heart of Haiti through cultural Est. 2007 dancing and drumming. The music that the youth of Haiti and Guatemala are proudly bringing to the festival is rich with heritage and expression. By integrating cultural immersion across borders, we are The late Junior Lamour, LEAF International Haiti student, (pictured above) at May 2014 LEAF. We miss and honor his spirit!

Inside the World of LEAF International

LEAF International - Costa Rica Reflecting on Global Gratitude (May ‘15) This past May was life-shifting both for our LEAF community and for the LEAF International members of the Bribri & Ngabe First Nations that came for LEAF cultural exchanges. The group spent a week building relationships, sharing cultural traditions, and cultivating global citizens with Rainbow Community School, Burton Street Community Center, LEAF Schools & Streets, LEAF Festival and Warren Wilson College. From homestay immersions with students to performances of traditional dance and drumming to workshops on the important of indigenous culture and using art and technology as a platform for social solidarity and change, the results of this trip were astounding: communities intersected, cultures were shared, and relationships were forged.

In the words of our Tanzania | Dar es Salaam Coordinator, Erasto, “They [the students of both schools] are now friends and meet to share the experience and their love of traditional dance.”LEAF International works in two locations in Tanzania: Arusha and Dar es Salaam. LEAF International in Dar es Salaam is progressing in exciting new ways! This July, the program expanded to another school, and now is serving students at the Umoja Primary School as well as the Mianzini Primary School. It has only been a few months since this second program has launched in Dar es Salaam, and already cultural exchanges between the two schools are taking place, allowing students to share the joy they find in their heritage.

“Cultural diversity allows us to look at the same problem from different points of view; from different visions of our world. That is why we started using art and technology to tell people about the importance of preserving this heritage.”
