The name was catchy, at least for me my friends.
And it’s still alive and kicking, as you’ll see, carrying a deeper meaning, inspired, as always, by something I firmly believe in: the sense of community.
Community as human beings, community as artists.
The goal? To connect beyond geographical boundaries, with creativity, independence, and quality as the only passports required.
Back in the day, "The Positive Ghetto" had some ties to a previous project called euskir’s music.
While this new version isn’t structured as a nonprofit, the core idea remains: balance. Investments, not expenses.
Lately, watching the independent music market go up in flames (no need to name a specific streaming service, most of them are just slightly different shades of bad), I felt the urge to bring "The Positive Ghetto" back, stronger than ever.
Now, I don’t expect you to know me from my past cultural projects.
But hey, if you’re curious, feel free to check out my LinkedIn Profile, dig around my online presence, you might find some pleasant surprises.
And if that’s not enough, just ask the amazing people I’ve met along the way.
So, how do we get this rebirth rolling?
Two simple ways.
One, old school: PayPal donations.
The other, a little more fashionable: grabbing an NFT from "The Positive Ghetto" collection on OpenSea.
But at the end of the day, it’s the same mission as always: connect art and artists, push for creativity and independence, and never, ever compromise on quality.
I’ve got forty years of experience in communications, advertising, marketing, cultural affairs.
Yes, I’m carrying some fantastic (and sometimes weirdly specific) skills in my luggage.
Need advice? Want to join me on this ride?
I’m here. I’m easy to find. The internet makes sure of that.
Oh, and about the title, no, it’s not a cheap clickbait trick.
AI, to me, is a symbol of our times.
You can use it wisely (a rare skill, I must say), or you can fall for the illusion of a fast and easy road to success.
I’d rather focus on something real, even in my wildest dreams.
So here’s my invitation: let’s keep art and culture safe, accessible, and alive, not just for today, but for the years to come.

"A Beginning To End": jazz and art together again
Thanks to the new work from Linda Palmer, aka Ponor (video and art), Nick Janczak (trumpet and effects), and Phil White (glockenspiel and percussion), for three minutes and thirteen seconds we can stop the world around us, enjoying the high quality from free jazz and musical improvisation, with our eyes under the spell from Linda Palmer's (aka Ponor) amazing visual art.
If we can't support independent artists, the real ones, we're not going to have too much beauty in our lives, simple as that.

Norris Trío: the best jazz is at gogoyoko
There’s an online music store called gogoyoko, and The Positive Ghetto really likes that place.
The Norris Trío (Enrique Norris, on cornet, keyboards and percussion, Pablo Díaz on drums, and Maximiliano Kirszner on double bass) has a previous album there, "300" (enonane records, 2012), and now you can find "Ascensión Libre" / "Free Ascension" (enonane records, 2013) too.
Remember that the gogoyoko main offices are located in the wonderful Iceland, and the essential market for the company is right now in the European Nordic Countries: Iceland of course, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Faroe Islands, but we know they’re reach far beyond.
Everyone is invited to visit the Norris Trío at gogoyoko, and to discover the fantastic gogoyoko’s online store.
