Domingo Canate Bio by Michael A. Gonzales Currently spearheading the much-anticipated documentary My House Rocs Presents: Hands to the Sky, film producer Domingo Canate is no stranger to world of House music. A native of Panama, he has been exploring the scene since he was a teenager living in Brooklyn. “I met someone who invited me to the classic club the Garage and that experience changed my life,” Canate says of the infamous venue. Enthralling Canate and the other patrons with a state-of-art soundsystem and amazing music, the Garage’s amazing dj Larry Levan went on to become a legendary icon who has inspired many other artists. Crediting the pivotal nightclub with shaping his continuing adoration for the scene, Canate, who has managed hip-hop and dance acts for twenty years, says, “Although that particular club has been closed since 1987, the spirit of the Garage is still alive. In fact, that spirit is very much a part of Hands to the Sky.” Shot in various New York locations including Fort Green, Harlem and Coney Island, the documentary Hands to the Sky is an insider look into the world of summer House music events that has been a part of city’s cultural landscape since the nineties. “With this film we’re trying to pass on the history and vibe of old school downtown dance culture while also showing how the scene has progressed.” After seeing some amatuer video footage of outdoor House music events on YouTube, Canate along with friends and family members decided to produce a feature film about the free flowing open air House concerts that featured professional production vaules. “One finds a real joy at these outdoor events and it is that joy that achors this project.” Collaborating with director Angelo Boyke and co-directors JP Noel, the small crew began production in the summer of 2009 and have devoted countless hours to shaping the project. “We had a vision in our minds and have tried very hard to translate that into a cinamatic experience.” Hands to the Sky features both House music aficionados, rhythmic newcomers and interviews with Ray Vasquez, Lou Gorbia, Kervyn Mark, Kamala and others. “For this project, we’ve interviewed various promoters, disc jockeys and fans who helped make these events possible,” Canate states. “Our cameras shot behind the scenes and in front of the crowd. At these events we saw everybody from babies to senior citizens and it was all so loving. It is that love that Hands to the Sky truly represents.” Currently circulating a eleven minute trailer on the internet, Canate and his filmmaking collective hope to have the finished version of My House Rocs Presents: Hands to the Sky ready for release by spring 2012. “With this film, we are bringing this electrifying experience to a larger audience who can share in with the passion many others already process.” Without a doubt, Hands to the Sky will take you there.
