The (R)evolution of Immortal Technique – DVD Documentary to be Released Spring 2012

Within the arm of hip hop music and culture that deals with social issues through recordings, activism and community outreach, there are an elite few who are regarded as standard bearers. Among them is Peruvian-born, Harlem raised Immortal Technique, who has dedicated his musical career to speaking on issues such as institutionalized racism, the prison system, gangs, justice and equality. Along the way, Cary Stuart has been documenting the world travels of this intelligently outspoken and passionate MC/activist, compiling the results into a full-length documentary, The (R)evolution of Immortal Technique, due out in the Spring of 2012.

Immortal Technique

The double-disc DVD is filled with seven years worth of Immortal Technique performances, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, in addition to interviews with cultural notables such as Ice T, Dr. Cornel West and Public Enemy’s Chuck D, who is quoted as saying, “[Immortal Technique] symbolize[s] the voice of truth all around the world in the name of rap music and Hip Hop.”

Aside from the music, the documentary will spotlight Immortal Technique’s travels to Afghanistan and his partnership with Omeid International to launch the Amin Institute, an orphange, school, and medical facility.

Hip hop, at its core, has always been about providing a voice for those underrepresented in the world, and while socially conscious hip hop music is not a part of the mainstream as it once was, there are still those like Immortal Technique who effectively carry on this legacy.

The (R)evolution of Immortal Technique is set to be released in the Spring of 2012, followed by the release of his fifth album, The Middle Passage.

Come To Our Show“Come to our show!” they pleaded as they handed out flyers, posted them on telephone poles, wheat-pasted them on walls. Here are the flyers from the world’s most pioneering punk bands including Minor Threat, Fugazi, Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Brigade, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, A.R.Z. (Peru), Fun People (Argentina), Leek and the Bouncing Souls (South Africa), Scream, Bikini Kill, Los Crudos, The Nation of Ulysses and many more.

The author, Willona Sloan, describes the book as “the culmination of a project that has been on my mind for more than a decade. I published the personal/punk/feminist fanzine Scorpion from about 1998-2001. Doing the ’zine was an incredible experience for me and was really the start of my career in writing and publishing. Scorpion was my humble contribution to a global conversation about punk rock and social justice. I proclaimed my desire to produce a book of flyers that represented the diversity of the scene that I had grown up in–the scene where I had developed my understanding of my political power, and the value of building communities of compassion.

This is my personal collection of flyers, which was built by punks who collected flyers from their local shows and from their friends around the world. They sent me their favorites; I selected from my favorites of their favorites. These are my memories; my friends’ bands, their record labels, their towns, their countries. And so, finally I share them with you because they mean so much to me.
