Follow on Google News | DJ Miles Morales reaches international status with performance at Fiesta de la EcuadorUnder the pseudonym Miles Morales, award-winning film director Koran Dunbar takes his audience on a musical journey at the popular music festival, which brings in tens of thousands annually.
As the popular DJ, Miles Morales, Dunbar takes his audience on a musical journey, complementing eclectic styles such as Afrobeats with hip hop, jazz, blues (and even a country tune or two), enticing his audience on the dance floor. As a child, Dunbar was influenced by his grandmother, who would share her love of music with anyone who dared to listen. Dunbar listened. And today, his share of musical genres is nothing short of fascinating to his audiences. "I didn't know the impact it [music] was having on me at the time," he says, "But as an adult, it absolutely shaped the creative I've grown to become. It still shapes me." That "creative" is an actor-comedian- "My music is a reflection of, not just my life and times, but the life and times of so many others – the audience -- because music is universal. It's why I don't do much talking; the music speaks for itself." And that it does. Miles Morales brings an experience to his craft unlike other DJs in the industry. It's why a 20-something can share the same floor with a 50-something, and why a 60-something is mesmerized when – seemingly out of nowhere – Miles Morales slides in "Hello, Stranger" and knocks their socks off. He studies them, watches as he leads them to where he wants them to go, transfixed by the music. Like a serpent, he strikes. And that's the allure of a master at his craft. The allure of Miles Morales, super hero. End
