'Freestyle Blast' to rock College of Staten Island Posted by jpyates August 21, 2009 08:30AM Photos courtesy of the artistDoco Entertainment's "Freestyle Blast," featuring Jonelle, above, will take place Aug. 22 at the Center for the Arts. STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Freestyle music is back -- or did it ever go away Noel, the svelte breakdancing hipster who had a hit with lovesick track "Silent Morning" in 1987 is most definitely ripe for a "Where Are They Now" episode. So is Soul Sonic Force (remember "Planet Rock"). But basic elements of this syncopated Latin dance music brought to the mainstream in the late 1980s seems alive and well. "It died a little bit, but just in the last few years, every time I turn on the radio, some popular artist is doing a track with freestyle influence in it," says Jonelle Aquilino, who signed with freestyle-centric Tazmania records in 1994. "Black Eyed Peas came out with 'Boom Boom Pow,' which I think has a heavy freestyle influence. If you listen, it's everywhere." Old-school one-hit wonders and modern freestyle influences aside, Doco Entertainment's "Freestyle Blast" seems poised to prove whether or not the genre still has its fans on Aug. 22 at the Center for the Arts.

George Lamond "Freestyle Blast," featuring Judy Torres, George Lamond, JP Justice, Coro, Fascination, Lydia Lee Love, Jonelle & more When: 8 p.m. Aug. 22. Where: Center For the Arts at College of Staten Island, 2800 Victory Blvd., Willowbrook. Tickets: $50-$55. More info: DocoLatinGroove.com. Featuring enduring artists like Judy Torres (aka the "Queen of Freestyle") and George Lamond, local standup comedian JP Justice and popular radio personality Speedy (of 105.9 FM La Kalle), organizers say the concert will offer fans of the genre something to get behind. "We wanted to bring something of the KTU Beatstock level to Staten Island," says Doco Entertainment business manager Jason Gomez, a West Brighton native who now lives in New Jersey. "Staten Island and Brooklyn have a very big freestyle fan base." As a dance beat, Freestyle popped up in the 1980s as a post-disco, pre-house style of music that used synthesizers and drum machines, and even dabbled in samples, gaining it the nickname "Latin hiphop." Freestyle's love anthems eventually went beyond their loyal Puerto Rican and Latino fan base to a much wider audience. Sure, rap and raggaeton have enjoyed more mainstream chart success in recent years, but devotees say freestyle isn't going anywhere. "Freestyle is always something about love," says Aquilino, who recently collaborated with freestyle big wig Lil' Suzy on a track for an EP available at JonelleOnline.com. "It's always something positive, and I think people really need that right now." Page 25 of 179
