La calle Larry Levan en NY

Larry-Levan

Ahora, actualmente, si uno peregrina al SoHo en busca de King Street y concretamente la ubicación del antiguo Paradise Garage, se encontrará con un garaje pacífico y sin identidad: coches y furgonetas acinados sin ningún romanticismo. No hay señales de contexto o recuerdo al que fuera el club más influyente de todos los tiempos, y tampoco las hay para su líder y principal pilar espiritual, Larry Levan: coincidiendo con una próxima fiesta patrocinada por laRed Bull Music Academy en la misma localización de King Street (entre Varick y Greenwich),una petición para convertir el punto geográfico en la calle de Larry Levan aparece impulsada porFrankie Cruz.

“As the legendary DJ of the Paradise Garage, Larry Levan’s musical journeys resulted in a very strong following by both gay and straight communities alike. As one of the first DJs to perform worldwide as well as one of the first DJs to develop and own his own record label, Larry Levan was a true pioneer in the dance music industry. It was Levan’s overwhelming message through his music that became the eventual cusp of breaking down barriers which were evident. Levan’s remix and production work for some of the most revered artists and producers such as Patti Austin, Aretha Franklin, Grace Jones, Chaka Khan, Smokey Robinson, Nile Rodgers, Skyy, Instant Funk, Loleatta Holloway, and Jocelyn Brown continue to be treasured and revered today by DJs all over the world. And it is because of his legacy that this petition has been formed requesting designation of the section of King Street between Varick and Greenwich Streets to be renamed in the memory of Larry Levan”.

En la “Larry Levan Street Party” actuarán cercanos como François K, David Depino o Joey Llanos.
