Paris New York Heritage Festival is a contemporary journey inspired by African, African-American, Latin American and Indigenous American music, culture and storytelling, with stops in Paris, New York, Montreal, Vancouver, Johannesburg and Los Angeles. The event pays tribute to the arts, artists and movements which have influenced and shaped today’s global musical heritage and aims to be a vehicle for these intergenerational values. Each year’s event is built around a theme connected to the ideas which originally inspired the festival when it began four years ago. The first editions highlighted the rich tapestries of African American and Latin American cultures, their interactions and links with Africa, the United States and Europe. Woven among these threads are an intimate connection to community, social and political struggle. Through all his, music remains a universal tool for connection and communication. When we decided on this Theme for the 2020 festival, it was August 2019, we could never have imagined what 2020 would have in store for us all with a global pandemic paralysing the planet, nor that the chosen theme would seem so prescient! Coincidence? Do we learn from artists by listening to them live, watching them in person? Are we still ignoring the essential nature of culture? Our 4-year initiatory journey led us to make an observation : all the struggles faced by communities, whether African, African-American, indigenous or Latino...have a common foundation: a desire for their existence to be recognised, their rights to be respected, their place in humanity acknowledged. Knowing that the earth is a finite space and that there are more and more humans, can we find solutions to create a sustainable and harmonious society? Can we live together? Today, the urgent challenge for humanity is to know how to survive collectively. We are talking about extinction, global warming, pandemics... Drawing on all our cultures, perhaps we can find the beginnings of a collective response. Let's imagine for the duration of the festival, that the answers could not only be technological or economic, but that culture could take hold of this subject and bring forward elements of a response? The idea behind the PNYH 2020 festival was to create a utopian global village spanning 3 continents, uniting these currents of cultural activism around these questions. A place where all artistic, cultural and human communities would be free to share, exchange, question and associate
for the collective good:
"the preservation of humanity". "Human (u) nity
