>>Good afternoon, I'm Julie
00:03:00Henahan and I'm the executive
director of the Ohio Arts
00:03:02Council, and I'm so very
please to welcome you here
00:03:04today for the kickoff of
National Arts and Humanities
00:03:06Month here in Ohio.
I want to talk to you a little
00:03:10bit about Mojo- Mo' Mojo, I
knew I was going to do that; I
00:03:13was going to leave on of those
Mos off.
00:03:15Mo' Mojo is a hard driving,
high energy, Zydeco-based
00:03:20"Party Gras" band from Akron,
Ohio.
00:03:24This female fronted group
features three-part harmonies,
00:03:27accordion, fiddle, guitar,
rubboard, sax, trumpet, and
00:03:34harp, on occasion, I don't see
one today though, but bass
00:03:37percussion and drums, and
performs in both English and
00:03:39French.
Mo' Mojo takes Zydeco and
00:03:43Cajun music and infuses it
with Americana, reggae, rock
00:03:46and roll, funk, R'n'B, and
African and Latin rhythms.
00:03:51The band members joining us
today include Jen Maurer,
00:03:54Davidione Pearl, Will
Douglass, Anthony Papaleo,
00:04:02Kevin Johnson, Leigh Ann Wise,
Sam Rettman, and Paul Kovac
00:04:05. Mo' Mojo has played
throughout most of the
00:04:10Northeast and Midwest states
and is featured on the Ohio
00:04:14Arts Council's Ohio Artists on
Tour roster.
00:04:20Their recent release is called
Together in Love We Drown,
00:04:23with 14 original songs on it.
So please, welcome Mo' Mojo
00:04:26and have a great time.
Thanks for coming.

00:09:10Alright.
Hey, could you bring the
00:09:13accordion down a little bit,
yeah I'm afraid it might
00:09:16feedback here.
You all ready?
00:09:59The first time you left me
baby I felt so sad the second
00:10:04time you left me baby I lose
the best friend I ever had now
00:10:10that you've left me this last
time I feel so blue I cant do
00:10:14without you tell me why you
made me cry and said goodbye
00:10:28don't you know I love you so
oh why'd you go the first time
00:12:46you left me baby I felt so sad
the second time you left me
00:12:53baby I lose the best friend I
ever had now that you've left
00:13:00me this last time I feel so
blue I cant do without you
00:13:07tell me why you made me cry
and said goodbye don't you
00:13:19know I love you so oh why'd
you go.
00:14:14>>Y'all allowed to dance in
here?
00:14:18>>I think during Arts and
Humanities month you're
00:14:20allowed to dance in all public
spaces.
00:14:23>>I think so too.
I think there should be some
00:14:25interpretive dance too, to
fully embrace all the arts.
00:14:28>>The thing is with Zydeco,
which is what we're doing,
00:14:30which is typically a Louisiana
music, that somehow worked its
00:14:32way to Ohio via a man named
Scott "Texas" Gann who was in
00:14:35our band.
We started the band back in
00:14:381995 and he passed in 2002,
but his girlfriend gave me his
00:14:43accordion so we'd keep the
band going.
00:14:47And Zydeco, it's a lot of
one-chord songs and two-chord
00:14:49songs, and the way that you
keep yourself entertained is
00:14:52by dancing.
We can't really do anything
00:14:55about the number of chords in
the songs.
00:15:00Here's a little song about
being from Ohio and playing
00:15:02Zydeco called I Know My
Business Too.
00:15:04And you all ready?
People I'm standin' 'fore you
00:15:36playin' that funky groove
called the Zydeco and it don't
00:15:40matter if I'm up here doin' it
in Ohio that sound straight

>>Thank you
00:19:12>>We want to thank
the Ohio Arts Council for
00:19:15inviting us down today.
It's a real treat to be asked
00:19:17to do this.
And the Ohio Arts Council
00:19:21wouldn't be the Ohio Arts
Council if not for the
00:19:24legislature of Ohio that funds
it, so we want to thank the
00:19:27legislature of Ohio for
supporting the arts.
00:19:31And we're going to do a little
song, we do try to, in our
00:19:38normal, longer performances,
do some traditional music and
00:19:43some songs in French, but
we're doing all originals
00:19:46today for you, showing that
we're trying to add to the
00:19:51genre.
And I don't have any originals
00:19:54in French, but some of our
songs are kind of blues based
00:19:56so here's a little song called
Tell Me Will You Ride.

This next song is a waltz.
00:24:33It's coming up on the
anniversary of the writing of
00:24:34it because I went for a
Halloween gig with a band and
00:24:37I came home and my dog had
died.
00:24:39And it was like oh my god, did
he die on Halloween, is his
00:24:42soul safe, or you know, was it
souls' day, or was it souls'
00:24:46eve, or what was it.
And here's a little song that
00:24:49came out of that because I was
worried for his future.
00:24:52So this is for Becker, it's
called Souls' Day Waltz.

00:45:00I mentioned that guy who
helped form the band, Scott
00:45:02Texas Gann.
Back in 1995 he came up from
00:45:04Orange, Texas.
His step dad played the
00:45:07accordion, he was Cajun.
And he, and I, and another
00:45:14band member, Kip, wrote this
song.
00:45:17My Jolie my Jolie please don't
make me cry my Jolie my Jolie
00:45:33don't say goodbye without your
love I can see what a loss my
00:45:47life would be oh won't you
say, you'll always stay my
00:45:56sweet Jolie my Jolie, my
Jolie, please, don't make me
00:46:10cry my Jolie, my Jolie, don't
say goodbye and without your
00:47:58and without your
love I can see what a loss my
00:48:05life would be with your love
gone I can't go on my sweet
00:48:14Jolie my Jolie my Jolie please
don't make me cry my Jolie my
00:48:36Jolie don't say goodbye.
Now we've come to the title
00:49:10track of our album, Together
in Love We Drown, which came
00:49:12from an NPR radio thing that
talked about the state of the
00:49:14government back when Ronald
Reagan was in the office in
00:49:18Washington, and apparently
during that time, this is what
00:49:20the person told me on the
radio, most of the
00:49:22congress-people lived,
everybody lived in Washington,
00:49:24and so when they didn't get
along with their wives,
00:49:27because I guess mainly at that
time it was mostly male, sort
00:49:32of close to what it is now,
but mostly male, and their
00:49:34wives played tennis together
and their kids went to school
00:49:37together.
So no matter how hard you
00:49:38fought on the floor, you could
go have a martini.
00:49:41And I thought well that's
great, we need to start a
00:49:42movement to force our
Washington congress-people to
00:49:46go and live in Washington
again.
00:49:48Wouldn't that be nice.
And then I thought, well, it
00:49:50applies here in the state
house today, and so this is a
00:49:53song to implore the left and
the right to come together in
00:49:58the middle.
Together in Love We Drown, it
00:50:01comes from Sufism, you know,
drowning and the love the
00:50:03beloved.
It mentions the noble truths
00:50:05and our attachments from
Buddhism.
00:50:08And it's our theme song.
Send this out to all the
00:50:12legislatures of Ohio.
