You've reached the home of DJ Chino, Domingo Yu, and Daniel D. Zarazua. Yes, we're all the same person, but each name has its role. As you browse the site, you'll quickly see that my interests revolve around urban music and education. On the music side of things I'm currently affiliated with Underground Resistance/Red Planet Records in Detroit. On the educational side I'm a teacher at Oakland Unity High School. Be sure to click on the student life gallery to get an idea of what's happening! I'm always trying to combine these two worlds and even though I'm California based at the moment I try to stay connected to my other homes, namely Detroit and Taiwan. Feel free to drop me a line!

Don't believe the hype

Posted April 22, 2008 1:12 pm (about 19 days ago)

There aren’t too many movies that make me want to go home and write about them. Forbidden Kingdom is one of those. Then again, I am procrastinating from grading. But that aside, I really didn’t like this movie. I guess I should’ve read the reviews or gone to the site and at least got some background information. I knew it starred Jet Li and Jackie Chan so I really looked forward to its release. Even looking at the poster, it gives the impression that they’re the central characters. Instead, they are both supporting characters to a White guy(!), although they do have significant roles. On the positive side, there were some interesting fighting scenes, although nothing spectacular. If you’ve watched a number of ...

Laying claim to the throne

Often compared to Chicago’s more widely known jukin’ or footwork, jittin’ actually has deep roots firmly set in African-American history. Until recently, this Detroit style of dance has not been known to the masses, although websites such as youtube have done wonders to spread the word of ...

• Locke 1928Hip-hop Book Review I remember walking in Oakland, CA during the 2006 May Day protests against anti-immigration legislation. Never before had I seen so many Latino people waving the U.S. flag. In that moment I realized that the traditional American symbols don’t define us. We define the symbols and places in which we live. The protest was a moment that shifted my perspective from being one of, “Only old U.S. vets wave the flag” to “This country should be proud to see such individuals and families carrying its flag”. Reading Ryan’s book reemphasized the lesson I learned in May 2006. Not because the characters are exceptionally heroic but because their story is unique and specific to California in the early 1900s. Ryan is able to portray the depths to which the characters need one another, even as they seek self –determination. While her book is not politically motivated it is a contribution to the ever involving understanding of our culture and history.
• Laying claim to the throneIdentity/Culture Journal Entry Often compared to Chicago’s more widely known jukin’ or footwork, jittin’ actually has deep roots firmly set in African-American history. Until recently, this Detroit style of dance has not been known to the masses, although websites such as youtube have done wonders to spread the word of this frenzied, highly skilled form of expression. Yet as its popularity continues to grow, will it become another fad that gets exploited, used up, and discarded? Does it have the potential to even go mainstream? Unlike L.A.’s crumping, which caught the attention of a high profile director, Chicago Steppin’, which benefited from being highlighted in R. Kelly videos, or breakin’, which was birthed in the media center of New York, jittin’ hasn’t had a major outlet outside of the Detroit. But whether it goes pop or stays underground, the main groups holdin’ it down are putting out DVDs, traveling overseas, and basically, trying to make some money and maintain control of their art! While there are many crews in Detroit, I was fortunate to connect with one of the best, the X-Menn, due to our mutual connection with Submerge Records. They took some time out to share their thoughts on the state of jittin’ and its extensive history. Be on the lookout for upcoming music video “Foot Wars” by Underground Resistance, which will feature the fellas at their best. On a broader note, to the youngsters busy hating on each other’s crews and cities, your focus is on the wrong place! You all need to be having fun and there’s too much money out here for ya’ll to be fighting over crumbs. Different doesn’t mean garbage, and when it comes down to it, all of your dances, whether it’s jukin’, jittin’, poppin’, turf dancing, or whatever, have common roots. Learn your history and promote your craft so everyone can benefit! OK, enough lecturing. Check out the interview you came to read!
• Full CircleBlog / Journal Entry This past weekend found me in L.A., catching up with good friends and handling some business while I was at it. The catalyst for this entire trip was that some good friends of mine from Detroit were in town for a series of dance events. However, my social justice mindset kicked in and I skipped out on pretty much any party that was in “honor of Dr. King’s dream.”
• Home is where the heart isBlog / Journal Entry I recently returned from a week long visit back to Detroit, my former home town, and it was a mixed bag. With the economy the way it is in Michigan, it’s no wonder that it’s an easy target for the detractors. Yet I also left Detroit reminded of why I miss it so much.
• Does hip hop hate women?Identity/Culture Journal Entry Recently, Barkari Kitwana’s “Rap Sessions” panel came to Stanford University to discuss gender-related issues. This panel brings together some of the brightest minds in the hip-hop world for dialogue on contentious topics in a town hall-style setting. For the Stanford panel, authors/professors Dan Hodge (Auzusa Pacific University and Citrus College), Marcyliena Morgan (Executive Director of The Hip Hop Archive), Mark Anthony Neal (Duke University), artists/activist Invincible, and author and former Executive Editor of “Essence” magazine, Joan Morgan participated. Kitwana hosted the panel. I jotted down key points from the panelists and the crowd, which included noted journalist Davey D, Dr. Dawn-Elissa Fischer, and author Adam Mansbach (Angry Black White Boy). Some panelists spoke quite a bit while others listened and reflected. Some great points were made and while the following aren’t direct quotes, I think it’s good for more people to have a chance to know about these dialogues. On a side note, Invincible later came to conduct workshops at my high school and Kitwana and I are working on bringing Rap Sessions to our school.
• Sports talkBlog / Journal Entry While I don't write about them much, sports have played a huge role in my life. For those who watch college football, you already know that Michigan beat Michigan State this past week, which brought some joy into my life. When I was picking a college I chose U of M over MSU because of their football team. I know; that’s a stupid reason. But coming out of high school I was pretty clueless. At any rate, I was embarrassed by Michigan’s two losses earlier this year. However, I’m just about equally embarrassed by U of M running back Mike Hart’s comments after this last game since he apparently never doubted the outcome.
• Chinatown seniors follow cowboys stepsIdentity/Culture Journal Entry For those of you who are frequent visitors to this site, I'm a huge fan of dancing, particularly couple dancing. Beyond salsa, I'm into Midwest-based styles such as Chicago steppin', Detroit ballrooming, and bopping. Yet there's also a vibrant hustle scene in the D, which is more commonly called "line dancing." It's kin to the country-style dances, but it's definitely a different vibe and there are countless more styles than The Electric Slide, The Cha Cha Slide, and the Cupid Shuffle. At any rate, while many of these styles have originated in the African-American community, a couple of years ago some friends and I stumbled across a dance in Oakland, CA's Chinatown. They were jamming! While this recent story in the Oakland Tribune highlights a different event, it does bring attention to the power of dance and the arts.-D. Zarazua
• Doin' good in the 'hoodBlog / Journal Entry Yesterday my school was fortunate to have Ilana Weaver AKA Invincible stop through and do a couple of workshops for our students. As a performer, she’s world famous and done shows and worked with the likes of Talib Kweli and Eminem as a member of the Anomalies hip-hop crew. But while her music résumé is impressive enough, I actually invited her to come speak due to her work with Detroit Summer, a community organization that tackles issues such as poverty and urban farming. Among their projects is a recent CD titled the “Chronicles of a Drop Out” that addresses problems of the public education system. I've already used portions of the CD in my classes, which is made easier by curriculum that Invincible provided.
