THE BLUE AND GOLD - debut album out now! /  by trish klein

THE BLUE AND GOLD - (Ndidi O and Trish Klein) DEBUT ALBUM is now out on all platforms!

“The Blue And Gold transport you back to the headwaters of the blues!” - Tinnitist

“A flawless Blues-Americana gem.” - Last Day Deaf

“Unlike those who flaunt their skills and totally miss the feeling, these artists have done intense listening and are not afraid to leave the sounds spare, as the original artists do; they make room for the listener’s emotions to become part of the song.”- Robert Gordon-Emmy and Grammy Award-winning filmmaker.

“Ndidi O’s vocals slidethrough the soundscape like honey. There is a sweetness to her performance that brings a new life to the vintage flow of her delivery.” - The Other Side Review

The album contains 11 songs recorded with authenticity, soulfulness and grit, including reinterpretations of the works of pioneering female artists Memphis Minnie, Lottie Kimbrough, Mamie Forehand, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and others, as well as one song by the legendary Indigenous songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie.

DEC 14th - Kingdom of the elves (1916) with the Oliver Film Ensemble /  by trish klein

Lost for over 100 years, Louis Neher’s “Im Reich der Zwerge” is an hallucinatory experience that will take the viewer deep underground to the magical kingdom of the Elves. A charming piece of early 20th Century surrealism, "Im Reich der Zwerge" was discovered in the archives of the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam and incorporates every device that would have been at the disposal of the filmmaker of 1916.

Hidden City is proud to host this special Christmas screening of "Im Reich Der Zwerge" which will be accompanied by a live musical performance by the extraordinary Oliver-Film Ensemble
See link for full details.
