Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>After the festival footage, my favorite parts of this documentary is when they talk to the actual performers about their careers/experience at the festival <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MusComEnt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusComEnt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SummerOfSoul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SummerOfSoul</span></a></p>

Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Footage for the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival that had been filmed for a pair of tv specials that aired that year. That footage and more then sat in a basement for nearly 50yrs. It was rediscovered &amp; digitized in the late 00s. Questlove had 40hrs of raw footage to work with for this documentary <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MusComEnt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusComEnt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SummerOfSoul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SummerOfSoul</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Questlove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Questlove</span></a></p>

Will :toad:<p>Wow -- Questlove is making a Dilla documentary based on Dan Charnas&#39;s book, Dilla Time. This should be great. Questlove does things right, the book is brilliant and Dilla is legend. &quot;Explaining musical genius is my mission,&quot; says Questlove. </p><p>BTW, Questlove&#39;s 2021 Summer of Soul is a joy--it won an Oscar for best documentary and should be seen by everyone who loves music or anyone who likes to feel good. </p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/blackfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>blackfriday</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/jdilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>jdilla</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/detroit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>detroit</span></a> <br /><a href="https://toad.social/tags/questlove" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>questlove</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/dancharnas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dancharnas</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/summerofsoul" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>summerofsoul</span></a></p>
