TILL WE RISE - GLIDE's Annual Holiday Jam Benefit Concert Returns
With Grammy Winning Headliners Bobby McFerrin and Fantastic Negrito
This year's GLIDE Annual Holiday Jam: Still We Rise is dedicated to GLIDE co-founder and Holiday Jam creator Janice Mirikitani who passed away recently.
"GLIDE is looking forward to bringing people together safely to celebrate and recognize our collective service after a long time apart. This year is particularly special as we dedicate this event to our late and beloved Co-Founder Janice Mirikitani," said GLIDE President and CEO Karen Hanrahan. "The event will be celebratory while also highlighting how GLIDE continues to adapt and innovate to find solutions to address poverty, homelessness, and racial and social inequities."
The past 18 months have been devastating for individuals and families most marginalized in San Francisco, as the COVID crisis has exacerbated economic, health, and racial disparities. Throughout it all, GLIDE has remained steadfast. The 2021 GLIDE Annual Holiday Jam: Still We Rise will both celebrate and raise awareness of GLIDE's ongoing, results-oriented work to reduce poverty, homelessness, and inequity. The event's honorary co-chairs are Guy Johnson, a writer and Maya Angelou's son, and Alicia Garza, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter.
Bobby McFerrin
For decades Bobby McFerrin has broken all the rules. The 10-time Grammy winner has blurred the distinction between pop music and fine art, goofing around barefoot in the world's finest concert halls, exploring uncharted vocal territory, inspiring a whole new generation of a cappella singers and the beatbox movement. Considered a music-industry rebel who singlehandedly redefined the role of the human voice with his a cappella hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy," McFerrin has collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea, the Vienna Philharmonic, and more. His latest album "Circlesongs" with his improvising call-and-response 12-voice choir Voicestra was hailed as "music ... touched with magic." by The Washington Post.
Fantastic Negrito
When you listen to Fantastic Negrito, you're invited to hear the story of life after destruction. Each song is a real story about a musician from Oakland who experienced the highs of a million-dollar record deal, the lows of a near fatal car accident that left him in a coma, and is now in the midst of a rebirth that took him from the streets of Oakland to the world stage.
