SUMMARY:Trueno / Milo J / J Noa
DESCRIPTION:A trio of rising Latin hip-hop stars head to Central Park for this show\, presented in association with the Latin Alternative Music Conference. Of the various figures in the red hot Argentinian rap scene\, none has shined brighter than Trueno\, the son of Uruguayan rapper Peligro and a veteran of the scene’s battle rap circuit. His early appearance on producer Bizarrap’s freestyle show BZRP Freestyle Sessions launched him to nationwide fame and helped establish the show as a chart-topping vehicle\, landing the pair at the number one spot on Argentina’s Hot 100. He’s since released several solo albums\, collaborated with the likes of Bad Gyal\, Feid\, and J Balvin\, and is responsible for one of the Argentinian rap scene’s biggest hits in 2020’s “Mamichula.” He’s joined by Milo J\, who leveraged his viral hit “Milagrosa” into collaborations with Nicki Nicole\, Duki\, and Peso Pluma; he also benefited from an appearance on Bizarrap’s YouTube series\, which led to the pair’s collaborative EP En Dormir Sin Madrid. His latest LP La Vida Era Más Corta saw him take a hard left turn into art-pop\, fusing Argentine folklore with urban and experimental sounds. Opening the show is the dynamic Dominican rapper J Noa\, a nimble-tongued MC with a rapid-fire flow who stunned the world at her NPR Tiny Desk performance\, her first outside of her own neighborhood in the Dominican Republic.

SUMMARY:WayV / THE EITHER / Chopstix
DESCRIPTION:For a century\, China Institute of America has been dedicated to deepening the world’s understanding of China. In celebration of their Centennial\, SummerStage brings two takes on the future sounds of Chinese pop to Central Park. The K-pop boy band NCT is so massive that it’s become its own ecosystem\, spinning off members into their own sub-groups that establish their own voice. WayV are the fourth such to spin off—and its first China-based collective—recording pop songs that fuse hip-hop and dance with R&B-stylized vocals sung in Mandarin since their 2019 debut EP The Vision. They’re joined by THE EITHER\, formed in New York in 2017. Their sound — Post-Orientalism — rebuilds Eastern elements for today\, blending electrified traditional instruments\, Chinese opera-inspired vocals\, progressive rock energy\, and compositions with a strong Eastern melodic identity into a bold\, future-facing performance.

SUMMARY:Andrew Bird with the Wordless Music Orchestra Perform 20th Anniversary of "The Mysterious Production of Eggs"
DESCRIPTION:The violinist\, singer\, songwriter\, and composer Andrew Bird has stretched the musical boundaries of folk in an eclectic career that spans 18 albums\, developing a multi-layered sound with diverse instrumentation. His most defining work is arguably 2005’s The Mysterious Production of Eggs\, which demonstrated an avant-pop sophistication with a mastery of elaborate loops\, multi-tracked violin\, and his remarkable prowess as a whistler. Bird has headlined shows at iconic venues such as Carnegie Hall\, the Sydney Opera House\, Walt Disney Concert Hall\, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre\, but he’ll celebrate the 20th anniversary of that record at SummerStage in Central Park with the Wordless Music Orchestra\, performing the record for the first time in its entirety alongside a full orchestra\, followed by a suite of fan-favorites from his nearly 30-year repertoire.

SUMMARY:Verve 70th Anniversary:  Christian McBride / Mei Semones & friends play the music of Getz/Gilberto
DESCRIPTION:Verve Records is home to the world’s largest jazz catalogue\, including recordings by Ella Fitzgerald\, Nina Simone\, Stan Getz\, Bill Evans\, and Billie Holiday\, but it’s also the home of more left-of-center records outside the jazz sphere from the likes of the Velvet Underground\, Frank Zappa\, Kurt Vile\, and Arooj Aftab. For this celebration of the label’s 70th anniversary\, Verve invites Christian McBride\, a world-class bassist and bandleader\, a Juilliard graduate and 11-time GRAMMY winner who has recorded with legends of both the jazz (McCoy Tyner\, Herbie Hancock\, Chick Corea\, Wynton Marsalis\, Eddie Palmieri\, and more) and pop (Sting\, Paul McCartney\, Celine Dion) spheres. He’s joined by Mei Semones\, an American indie rock musician who writes jazz-influenced songs in both English and Japanese\, who has invited her own crew of friends to perform music from Getz/Gilberto\, the classic collaborative album by João Gilberto and Stan Getz released on Verve in 1964. More guests are to be announced.
