Episode 6: Frogtown, Music at the River’s Edge – Monday 10/19, 2pm
Metro Art celebrated Bike Month in September with three new episodes of Deep Routes with dublab building upon the ongoing series that started in July. Deep Routes is a multimedia dive into the intersecting musical histories embedded into the streets, buildings, and neighborhoods of Los Angeles as seen from a Metro Bike. On October 19, Metro Art and dublab will rebroadcast Deep Routes Episode 6 with the accompanying live stream bike rides previously postponed due to unpredictable air quality from the Bobcat Fire.
Frogtown, Music at the River’s Edge is a vivid first-person narrative that traverses history, sound and memory with record collector, cultural historian and Frogtown native Ruben Molina sharing stories from his youth in the Frogtown neighborhood of Los Angeles. Ruben’s compelling narrative touches down in various Los Angeles River-adjacent neighborhoods and is propelled by a music soundtrack that creates a compelling portrait of a special place and time in Los Angeles.
Episodes 4-6 of Deep Routes were made possible by a mini-grant through the Southern California Association of Governments’ Go Human program, funded by the CA Office of Traffic Safety. The episodes traversed music geographies accessible via Metro Rail, Bus and Bike: the Sunset Strip west from the B Line (Red), Hyperion Blvd. in Silver Lake, and the future Los Angeles River Path project connecting Elysian Valley to Maywood.
