“And prepare to get offered food like five times in one night,” added Neeko.
Comparing the crowds in the Phillippines and Vancouver, the duo emphasized that both bring electrifying energy to their performances.
“I would say it’s the exact same energy. It’s just different. Yeah, but Vancouver, Toronto, you know, we sold that out during the pandemic, and it was the most electric show. And then when we go back home, I guess it’s just different crowds. So in Asia, people are a little bit more sing-along-y,” explains Soliven. “In Toronto, Vancouver people be jumpin’, and they let loose.”
On the topic of their Filipino pride, Neeko expressed that they want to “shine light on our culture and empower youth to have somebody to look up that looks like them.”

A compelling introduction to the cultural history of the Jamaican musical genre dancehall, Ben DiGiacomo and Dutty Vannier’s “Bad Like Brooklyn Dancehall” sheds light on what one interviewee calls the associated “attitude, culture, and lifestyle” that crops up around dancehall music.

Karen Idelson Few people lived a life as bold and controversial as Leonardo da Vinci. It’s easy to forget sometimes he was also a human being with doubts who struggled with the same things that trouble just about all of us. In animated feature “The Inventor,” writer/director Jim Capobianco, who shared an original screenplay Oscar nomination with Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava for “Ratatouille,” was always interested in the more personal side of the famed painter and inventor. “The Inventor” combines traditional 2D and stop-motion animation as well as original music and lyrics by Alex Mandel. “I’m telling the story of [da Vinci] at the end of his life and years in France,” says Capobianco. “I knew he was going to die [at the end of the story] and I was asking what that means to a man like Leonardo da Vinci. Having researched him, I learned that he believed that he procrastinated a lot and he thought he didn’t finish a lot of the things he set out to do. So, I thought about what it would mean to this person, this character. I realized it’s about what you leave behind for others and how you affect other people with what you do, how you change other people’s lives while you’re here. I realized with Leonardo da Vinci, he’s the perfect kind of foil for that because here I am making a film about him 500 years after he lived, and we still talk about him. He has such an impact on us and the idea of invention and the idea of curiosity and everything he accomplished.”
