Ego Vs Identity: Improving Artists' Awareness

We are in the Globalization era. Although its idea is sometimes misleading, it has undoubtedly helped to unify the world, the markets, merge people together and increase the circulation of ideas, languages and popular culture. The key is to unify.

Unify may express wave the same flag, connect different people or have something heterogeneous becoming homogeneous. The risk of a system of unbridled globalization, which is a system of unification and agglomeration without distinction, is conforming to the “herd”, as Nietzsche warned us years ago.

I think there should be always a need to preserve our identity, our essential nature, express ourselves, what we are. That should be a primary need for everyone.

Some of the most tangible aspects and forms in which globalization manifests itself in everyday life are the Internet, advertising, fashion, the expansion of world markets. So it may happen to celebrate hallowen in Italy,  taste Napolean pizza in NYC, and eating Chinese in Naples. All these experiences are very common in today’s world and I think that ultimately improve the quality of our life because they increase the possibilities of choice of an individual.

Tricked Out Country - Where Country Meets Jazz

Despite the roots all three share as rich tributaries of great American music, there have been few instances in which country, jazz, and pop rock have successfully come together within one band. It just seems like an impossible fit: corralling Stetson-hatted cowboys, cool-blowing jazzmen, and funky rock players into a single cohesive project, one that seamlessly blends these very distinct styles. It seems impossible, that is, until you’ve heard Tricked Out Country.

Kings Of Flow On The Come Up: Rising Stars!

So, Kings Of Flow got more terrestrial radio spins than any other emerging artist at last year’s Spanish due to their aggressive expansion with the addition of their “Rumba Callejera” to the music-on-demand unsigned latin chart service to their IHeartRadio app for iPhones, prompted yet more gasps over their latin hood type choice outfits. 

Amid such hoo-ha it would be easy to forget the scale of their victory over us - their supporting fans - these past 12 months.
