Maybe DO Believe the Hype
Image courtesy of the artistIn the depth of their ninth season, Duke City Repertory Theatre presents a relevant and fresh break beat play by Idris Goodwin. The break beat poet and playwright, director and educator has a list of credentials a mile long and a body of work to be envious of. Hype Man makes its Albuquerque debut, tackling the tough question “whose responsibility is it to speak up in the face of social justice?” The story of a hip-hop trio on the verge of real success, experiences a violent incident shaking the trio and pressing them to explore issues of love, race and privilege. The ground-breaking stage show runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm beginning Feb. 28 and closing on March 10. Tickets are $15 online or $18 at the door, for a recommended 16 and older audience. (Mayo Lua de Frenchie)
Duke City Repertory TheatreHype ManBoots Just Wanna Have Fun
Image via PixabayYou may have figured out that Kinky Boots is a feel-good musical comedy, but did you know that this zany theatrical endeavor showcases the music of none other than '80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper? Though the play has won six Tony awards, you don't need to jet to Manhattan and spend a small fortune on a Broadway performance. You don't need to have a shoe fetish to enjoy this show either, but it certainly couldn't hurt. Whether you're in Fluevogs or Birkenstocks, strut your way over to Popejoy Hall for a she-boppin' good time. The show opens Thursday, March 7 and runs through Sunday, March 10. Tickets run $43 to $88. See popejoypresents.com/2018-2019-season/kinky-boots for times and tickets. (Constance Moss)

That's Not a Ukulele
Image courtesy of AMP ConcertsWhy, it's something even smaller that that. Perhaps the timple, a diminutive five-string acoustic instrument played brilliantly by the likes of Germán López is capable of generating succulent yet legitimate sounds more twee-sounding than anything currently residing in the instrument armory of many manic pixie girls or Hawaiian surf lord wannabees. To know the true answer to that question, you must go see the concert to be performed by López on Sunday, March 10 at 7:30pm at the Outpost Performance Space. It's a kind of island music that is going to come out that night, gritty with the foot-stomping exhortations of flamenco mixed brightly with the rhythmic delicacies of West Africa. For this gig, López is jamming with guitarist Antonio Toledo, a Spaniard that digs jazz and Brazilian music. For just $22 in advance or $27 the day of the show, all-ages pass through the gates of eden and into string heaven. (August March)

Sanatana Dharma
Image via PixabayAll is one according to the underlying principal of Hinduism, monism. Yet seen as a geographic or even psychogeographic phenomenon, the wide-ranging collection of faiths, rituals and practices that are indigenous to the Indian subcontinent collectively describe a very complex culture in metaphysical and even quantum terms. Believe us, the best way to learn about this intricate, belief-based system of reality is to listen to one of its practitioners. On Sunday, March 10 at 3pm local expert V.M (Nitant) Kenkre—an emeritus distinguished UNM physics professor—gives a lecture entitled “What is Hinduism?” at the Albuquerque Museum's small auditorium. Designed for the general public Kenkre's discourse focuses on the scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita as well as practices such as yoga, but also takes note of themes including the origin and meaning of certain Hindu customs. This all ages lecture costs $15 for local American International Association members and $20 for non-members. Students under 30 are free with a valid school ID. (August March)

City on the EdgeCity on the Edge is a breezy, smart podcast looking at the stories from Albuquerque history that have often been overlooked. Each episode takes a deep dive into a topic like the 1955 crash of TWA flight 260, Sandia Man or the 1918 quarantine. Worthwhile listening that will spur your curiosity about things you didn’t even know about in the city where you live. It’s free and available wherever you get your podcasts. (Clarke Condé)
