When En Vogue hit SNL in March 1992, they dismantled the myth that girl groups couldn’t sing full-throttle live in heels. Trading leads across Cindy, Dawn, Terry, and Maxine, their dynamic control remained untouchable—from Dawn’s raspy rock bite to Terry’s operatic belts. When they converged on the hook, their four-part harmonies locked in with their blend and zero backing tape. The album dropped 3 days later, proving to themselves and to the world just how Funky, these Divas really are.

Tonight’s IndieWire After Dark revisits “New Jack City,” Mario Van Peebles’ electric 1991 gangster classic and the opening-night chaos that made it a flashpoint in Westwood just days after the Rodney King beating.
More than three decades later, we look back at the racial tensions surrounding the film’s release, what the night revealed about Los Angeles at the time, and the complicated history of a neighborhood that was once one of the city’s great moviegoing destinations.
Does “New Jack City” still hold up? Read the latest: indiewire.com/news/general-n…

Quand j'entends ou je lis des analyses qui requalifient ou qui nomment les mouvements anticolonialistes et anti-impérialistes des années 1960 de mouvements "décoloniaux" (genre Lumumba était un "décolonialiste"), je cherche une DeLorean en convecteur temporel.
