Sean Kennerly reads from his new book Memoir of a Hyena. Music by Tyler Nolan.
About the book:
For thousands of years spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) were thought to be hermaphroditic, because males and females have identical phallic genitalia. Though they look nearly the same, they are sexually distinct, the slightly larger and more powerful females ruling their often extensive clans. With a wide range of communicative vocalizations and sophisticated interpersonal behaviors, hyenas are considered to be as intelligent as chimpanzees. Often mischaracterized as solely scavengers, they are actually skillful and effective hunters, seldom observed because they hunt most often in darkness.
Memoir of a Hyena is the harrowing memoir of one such spotted hyena as he lives his brief and difficult life in the shadow of his sister’s rise to greatness. Marginalized and scorned by his own family, caught in the crossfire of his clan’s political upheavals, his search for meaning and purpose takes him far across the vast, brutal Tanzanian steppe. In his unsparing self-evaluation, through the bravery of his choices and honesty in confronting his limitations, he finds insight and hope. But will this tenuous hope itself be weaponized against him?

An Exploration of Japanese, Indian, Latin &amp; Jazz Fusion
Reuniting on stage for the first time in more than two decades — and appearing together in the United States for the first time — acclaimed shakuhachi artist John Kaizan Neptune and Grammy-winning ghatam virtuoso Giridhar Udupa come together for an extraordinary evening of music.
Joined by David Neptune on Takeda percussion, Christophe Ambrosino on guitar, and Spencer Hinkle on bass, the quintet explores original compositions shaped by Japanese melodies, South Indian rhythm, jazz improvisation, Latin influences, and musical traditions from around the world.
Across a rare 90-minute performance, the ensemble creates a sound that is at once intimate, adventurous, and deeply immersive. Each performance unfolds as a living conversation where melody, rhythm, and spontaneity meet in the moment.
More than a concert, Roots &amp; Rhythm celebrates musical friendship, creative exchange, and the power of music to connect people across generations, cultures, and borders.
Your presence helps sustain independent live music and meaningful artistic collaboration. We are deeply grateful to the patrons, supporters, and community members helping bring this experience to life.More information on <a href="https://www.rootsandrhythm.live" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">rootsandrhythm.live</a>
