SUMMARY:First Fridays: Cleo Reed
DESCRIPTION:🪩🎶 FIRST FRIDAYS IS BACK FT. CLEO REED 🎶🪩 \n💫 Join us on Friday\, February 6th for the first First Fridays of 2026\, featuring the incomparable @cleoforshort! We’re thrilled to welcome Cleo Reed as we kick off this year’s programming on the first Friday in February\, coinciding with 100 years of Black History Month. \n🗓️ Friday\, February 6\, 2026\n📍 The People’s Forum (320 W 37th St\, Manhattan)\n⏱️ Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 7:30 PM\n🔗 Tickets available here \nℹ️ About Cleo Reed: \nA student of Black underground sound and intention\, Cleo Reed (née Ella Josephine Julia Moore) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice uses participatory art\, music composition\, instrument-making\, bandleading\, installation\, and fabric arts. Raised in NYC and DC\, Reed’s background ranges from classical training at Harlem School of the Arts\, to studying sound engineering & design at Berklee College of Music. \nReed’s 2025 LP CUNTRY is a sprawling folk-electronic offering exploring the rage that comes from grappling with the grips of labor — both on the body and in the American workplace. A double LP\, Side A pulls influence from the canon of American work songs — blues\, soul\, folk\, and country. Side B\, sonically dystopian and electronic forward\, references the format with a more rap-centric approach. The dueling sides symbolize the binary\, and the opposing forces represented in Reed’s NYC upbringing vs. their family’s southern lineage. \nCUNTRY was named a top album of 2025 from Pitchfork\, Stereogum\, That Good Sh*t\, and NPR Music. Reed was included in Dazed magazine’s iconic Dazed 100 list. Reed has performed at the Brooklyn Museum\, Lincoln Center\, Afropunk\, New Orleans Jazz Festival\, Le Banlieue Bleues\, and more. Reed has supported US\, UK & European tour dates with Sudan Archives\, Nick Hakim\, Armand Hammer\, and Annahstasia\, amongst others. Reed is a young\, visionary artist with a singular voice and an unwavering commitment to honoring those that came before while subverting the status quo. \nℹ️ About opener\, Melissa Almaguer: \nMelissa Almaguer is a multidisciplinary tap artist from Mexico based in New York City. She uses tap as a percussive instrument\, centering her practice on improvisation\, sonic exploration\, and collaborative composition. She leads improvisation-driven projects including the Melissa Almaguer Trio and collectives such as praesēns and Angel of Water/Angel of Air\, presenting original work at venues including The Jazz Gallery\, Joe’s Pub and Closeup NYC. \nAs a performer and collaborator\, she has appeared in works presented at Lincoln Center\, The Joyce Theater\, National Sawdust\, and Kaufman Music Center\, among others. Her collaborators include Moor Mother\, William Parker\, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, Dormeshia\, and Derick K. Grant. A recipient of The Next Jazz Legacy and Mutual Mentorship for Musicians\, Melissa is on faculty at Steps On Broadway and teaches at Harlem School of the Arts. \n

Come for genre-bending performances\, stay for the communal energy\, celebration\, and art as resistance. Every show is a live\, immersive experience—a space where music\, politics\, and activism meet. Don’t miss an evening where creativity fuels conversation\, connection\, and action. \nFor December\, we’re thrilled to be hosting the incomparable Artist Against Apartheid\, Lido Pimienta\, whose music fuses lush orchestration\, electrifying rhythms\, and her singular voice that lingers long after the last note. \nFriday\, December 5th\, 2025 • 7:00 PM Doors • 7:30 PM Performance • 320 W 37th St. NYC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Lido Pimienta:\nLido Pimienta is an iconoclast who creates music and fine art drawn from her experience as a Caribbean woman from Colombia. Her latest album\, La Belleza\, is yet another huge leap in creativity for Pimienta – despite her having no classical training\, the record features an entire orchestra and choir. Sonically inspired by European classical music and Gregorian chant\, Pimienta created La Belleza with Ableton\, her MIDI controller and producer Owen Pallett. Pimienta was excited by how this music felt like the opposite of Miss Colombia. \nLa Belleza is a symphonic experience that encapsulates why Lido Pimienta is the artist of our moment. Unafraid to explore the depths of her creativity\, she produced a haunting\, invigorating album that only prompts the question: What will come next?\nLido Pimienta is originally from Colombia and is currently living in Toronto\, Canada. She was awarded a Polaris Prize for her 2017 album La Papessa which was released upon much critical acclaim. Her 2020 breakthrough album\, Miss Colombia received praise from The New York Times\, NPR\, Pitchfork and Remezcla\, and was nominated for 2021 GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY awards. Also in 2021\, Pimienta became the first woman of color to compose a piece of music for The New York City Ballet\, a collaboration with choreographer Andrea Miller. In 2022 LIDO TV debuted\, a sketch comedy show with guest appearances from Kittie and Nelly Furtado. Additionally\, Lido Pimienta is cited as an A&R for Furtado’s latest album.

SUMMARY:Alida & Aidan ft. .tatio
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn-based duo Alida & Aidan are on a Northeast tour to promote their new EP “Quiero Ser Libre.” Alongside special guest\, .tatio\, they bring songs of joy\, light\, and liberation from the Latin American folk diaspora. The sounds of the evening will be opened up with a DJ set by GEMS inspired by the themes of “Quiero ser libre” and the Nueva Canción movement. \n6:30: Doors Open\n7:30-8:30 PM: Performance by Alida and Aidan accompanied by .tatio\nAt The People’s Forum 320 W 37th St.\nSliding scale entry: $10-20. Pay in advance or at the door. \nAlidatorres.bandcamp.com  \nBrooklyn-based duo Alida Torres @alidablue & Aidan Scrimgeour @ascrimge connected over a shared love for and curiosity about folk music from South America and the Nueva Canción movement. In their reimagining of the repertoire\, they aim to capture the spirit of the music — the fierceness of living\, care for humanity and commitment to freedom — while incorporating elements of their voices and those of their Brooklyn musical community. In this moment\, these songs continue to remind us of the possibilities of love\, light and resilience and should be played every night. \n.tatio @tatatati is a Brooklyn based vocalist on a mission to blend and break down genre barriers\, making beautiful music accessible for everyone. She performs regularly with various classical\, sacred\, jazz and contemporary ensembles\, and she began performing solo vocal sets in late 2019\, looping her voice to create rich textures and unique sonic landscapes inspired by all genres. \nGEMS blends his appreciation for the soul\, jazz\, and hip-hop histories of the Midwest with a curiosity for the percussive heavy elements of afro house\, amapiano\, and broken beat.
