The Note is a new documentary series from Red Bull Music Academy. Watch all episodes here: http://www.redbull.tv/thenote Inspired by the early ’70s activism of the Black Panthers and the Young Lords, Latin music pioneer Eddie Palmieri produced one of the most daring albums of his already storied career: Harlem River Drive, a politically charged Latin-funk masterpiece so ahead of its time that its influence continues to resonate decades later. The Red Bull Music Academy is a global music institution committed to fostering creativity in music. We celebrate music, its culture, and the transformative minds behind it. Begun in 1998, the Academy has taken the core principles that underlie its annual workshop for selected participants and applied this curatorial approach to events, lectures, and city-wide festivals throughout the year. ► Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/10OyDHc ► Visit Red Bull TV: http://win.gs/1uy4YFF ► Visit our official website: http://win.gs/avjLrK ► Our latest videos on YouTube: http://bit.ly/12nkX7h ► Follow us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/Lx4wQy ► Like us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12N5Ch0

(Role: Editor) The #TCSNYCMarathon has 50,000+ runners….and 50,000 stories. But perhaps no story is as inspiring as the one #TeamTCSTeacher Bobby Imamura and Steve Bluhm are writing. Bobby is running for those who can’t. He qualified to run the Boston Marathon while pushing his friend Chris Beckette, who has ALS, finishing in an astonishing 3:07. Unfortunately, running and traveling cross-country became too painful for Chris, so he had to bow out of this year’s TCS NYC Marathon. This is where San Diego-based Steve Bluhm comes in. A former coach who is also battling ALS, Steve will join Bobby on the streets of New York. They’re aiming to complete the race in 3 hours and 20 minutes—a feat that most can only dream to achieve. Together, Bobby and Steve aim to raise awareness for #ALS and inspire others to live life to the fullest, even in the face of a debilitating disease. And we can’t wait to see them write their final chapter on November 6th.
