Check out this rediculous promo ad for the Seoulful Concert we announced previously that will take place in April.
These guys are hilarious. Great parodies of some well known KPOP songs. This event clearly has some backing, could it crop up and emerge as a rival to the Hollywood Bowl for the honor of biggest KPOP/Asian American event? We also received word that AATheory is giving away some tickets to the event so head on over there if you’re tryna score some free passes!
Comedian/Kollaboration founder PK spoke for a few minutes with Dumbfoundead behind the scenes at Kollaboration 10. The event, in it’s 10th year, is the last one with PK as the lead director behind the reigns as he moves on to focus on his comedy career. Kollaboration has been one of the most influential, highly regarded events for promoting asian-american talent as it’s grown and expanded to 10 (count em, TEN) cities.
We at a-Tunes wish him the best in his endeavors and want to extend our gratitude for his contributions to the movement.
This April, those of you in the LA area should head on out to Seoulful, a huge concert event featuring some big Korean Music names along with local veteran femcee Shin-B. The event will also (some what surprisingly) feature hit singer Jay Sean. You can’t hate on that. IZ was supposed to perform at the event as well but word has it he had to drop out of the billing. That leaves a slot open so who knows, you know know who they might find to replace him!
I know we say this often, but it looks like you won’t want to miss this event. Plus it’s hosted by extremely funny comedians Danny Cho and PK!
The publicity push for Kollaboration 10 is in full swing and LA heads dumbfoundead and Pigeon John sat down with PK to tell you to come out to the event!
Shout outs from Rapper, Pigeon John, and Dumbfoundead telling you to come to Kollaboration 10 on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at the Shrine Auditorium. Pigeon John will be performing!
Special guests include Rex Navarrete, We Are Heroes, Abraham McDonald, Tony Rock, Pigeon John, Vudoo Soul, Just Kidding Films, and Peter Rocks and the Kollaboration House Band.
Special guest judges: Lisa Ling, Rex Lee, Abraham McDonald, Kevjumba, Michelle Phan, Joseph Kahn, Nita Song, Patty Yoon.

And after the jump you can find a ton of clips from NY!
KoreanBeacon has put together a nice recap of what went down last weekend at Kollaboration NY 2K9. The video features clips of singer Kevin So, Hip Hop dance group Project D, Indian dance troupe Bollywood Axion, comedian Eliot Chang, and 1st place winner Cobu.
After a couple year hiatus from New York, Kollaboration returned to the media captial of the world with a bang. A sold out crowd at NYU’s Skirball Center saw the most diverse set of acts from Bollywood Axion to 16yo guitarist Dylon Schroth. This 30th show would never have happened without the vision and will power of PK and Roy Choi, the two guys who started the “movement.” It’s rare to find vocal leaders in the Asian-American community, but these two gentlemen have found their voice by creating a platform for emerging Asian-American artists to showcase their talent that mainstream America would appreciate but haven’t discovered quite yet. As PK says, it’s a movement – will you join Kollaboration? We’re still editing the high def video and we’ll be posting them soon, but we wanted to share a snapshot from our little flip camera. More to come!
[EDIT] ABCNews is also featuring a quick video recap of the event!
These are people with vision. I respect that. Support the movement.
Much love to Korean Beacon for the interviews!
BoA was recently interviewed by PK (stand up comedian and mastermind behind Kollaboration) for kpop mega site soompi.
