Mnayayilusuku lukaMongameli olungeluhle, olunekhephu eNew York, olunobungozi obunobungozi obubonakala ngathi buhanjiswe ngqo kwimibhobho yeembasa zonyaka zeGrammy, ezibanjelwe eLos Angeles 'Staples Centre, apho ubushushu beva khona yonke indlela ukusuka kolunye unxweme. Inkonzo yokusasaza i-CBS 'All Access-indawo ekukuphela kwayo apho abasiki bezintambo banokujonga khona umsitho-yengozi ngaphambi kokuba umboniso uqale; ukuba oko kwakungeyongozi ngokwaneleyo, bobabini uRihanna noLauryn Hill bahlawuliswa, u-Kanye West wagxotha, kunye no-Lady Gaga, ophumeleleyo kwaye ephumelela kwii-Oscars kwiiveki ezimbalwa kamva, wanika irhafu ecekisekayo ku-David Bowie.
Kwakukho amaxesha ambalwa aphezulu, nangona kunjalo. Wonke umntu angavuma ukuba uAdele wayibulala, ngaphandle kweengxaki zemic, njengoko noKendrick Lamar-ayothusi. Kwaye ke kwabakho Hamilton .
Uninzi lwamaMelika, usasazo lukaGrammys lwenombolo evulekileyo yomculo kaLin-Manuel Miranda obethwa ngumculo weBroadway, obudlalwa ngqo eRichard Rodgers Theatre, wawukufuphi njengokuba bebeza kubona umboniso kunye nabalingisi bawo bokuqala. Ukusuka kwi-off-Broadway yayo kwi-Theatre yoLuntu unyaka omnye ngaphambi kokudluliselwa kwayo ngo-Agasti ophelileyo ukuya kwindawo enkulu esekwe ngakumbi, i-hip-hopera malunga nooyise baseMelika, kunye nolwahlulo lwayo ngokobuhlanga (ngabadlali abathathu kuphela kumdlalo omhlophe kwaye Inye kuphela-uKing George III-unetyala yedwa), ubambe ukuqonda kwelizwe ngendlela ezimbalwa zomculo. Kwingoma yesandi kuphela, ekhutshwe ngokwamanani ngoSeptemba, Hamilton yonyuselwa kwindawo engafakwanga ndawo: Yayiyialbhamu yokuqala ye Broadway eyakha yabetha uNombolo 1 kwitshathi yeAlbhamu yeBillboard Rap; owokuqala ukufumana inqanaba leenkwenkwezi ezintlanu kwi-Billboard.com; elona cwecwe lelona qabane libalaseleyo kwiBillboard 200 ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-50; kwaye waqhayisa ngeyona ntengiso iphezulu ye-albhamu eyahlulayo yedijithali.
Ukuyibeka kwimeko yeewaka leminyaka: Hamilton yahanjiswa ngezigidi ezili-16 amaxesha kwiiveki zokuqala ezintathu.
Amanani ebhokisi-yeofisi ayothusi, njengoko nawuphina umntu ozamile ukufumana itikiti eza kungqina. Hamilton Ukophule ezinye zeerekhodi ezinkulu kwimbali ye-Broadway, kuthiwa uthengise i-30 yezigidi zeedola kwintengiso yetikiti kwangaphambi kokuvula. Ngomnye wemiboniso embalwa ekwaziyo ukuthoba phantse i-2 yezigidi zeedola ngeveki, kwaye kwane-scalper ye-scalper yokuhlawulisa i- $ 1,000 yamatikiti amabini yamthintela lo mbhali ekufumaneni izihlalo zakhe kowona mboniso unomdla edolophini… okanye naphina.
Amagqabantshintshi aphantse abonakala njengawesibini ngeli xesha, kodwa ukuba kufuneka uyazi: UMdali kunye neenkwenkwezi uMnu.Miranda -okhe waphumelela iTony ngenqaku lakhe Kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ngo-2008-sele ibhengezwe njengeMacArthur Fellow. Ibhodi yokuvota yeTonys, kumalungiselelo alo nyaka Hamilton Inkanyamba, sele idibanise ikomitana engaphantsi ukuze ichonge ukuba ngawaphi amalungu anokukhuphisana noMdlali oyiNtloko. (Umnumzana Miranda, 36, ubonakala ngathi ungena ngaphakathi, kodwa angajongana nokhuphiswano oluvela ku-Leslie Odom Jr. njenge-antihero yombali kunye nombalisi, u-Aaron Burr.) Njengomntu obizwa ngegama, Mnu. Miranda ubonakala ngathi unobhala ngokwakhe kwindima yakhe. Umfuduki oselula ofikayo ongavumiyo ukuba nabani na athi hayi koku: Ngapha koko, bambalwa abaqambi abanokufumana imvelaphi yomsebenzi wabo kwiNdlu yeWhite House, apho ngo-2009 uMnu.Miranda wenza uguqulelo olunenamba lwenombolo yokuvula ye-Obamas ngexesha yaboNgorhatya lwemibongo, uMculo, kunye nomsitho weLizwi eliThethiweyo. Ingoma-I-Hamilton Mixtape-sisiseko senombolo eyenziweyo kwi-Grammys, kwaye yathatha uMnu.Miranda unyaka ukuba abhale. Ukuthathela ingqalelo ukuba enye yeeribhoni ebotshelelwe kuyo Hamilton bubude bayo-ziingoma ezingama-46, ezinelicwecwe elingena kwiiyure ezimbini, imizuzu engama-22- kubonakala ngathi ngummangaliso omncinci ukuba umboniso wakhe waveliswa konke konke.

Rewind: Undixelele, ‘Yile ngoma yomculo werap malunga noAlexander Hamilton.’ Ndamxelela ukuba licebo elibi, ndikhumbula uDaveed Diggs, umhle, u-Afro’d oneminyaka engama-34 ubudala we-MC yeqela lomculo wehip-hop eLos Angelesukucofa. tNgentsasa yeGrammys. Umnumzana Diggs waqala weva ngalo mboniso ngo-2013xa wayeseNew Orleans kwiSuper Bowl, apho wayeqeshelwe ukwenza ii-ESPN's EzemidlaloNation nomnye weqela lomculo wakhe, iFreestyle Love Supreme, aIqela lehlaya le-hip-hop elingenasiphelo nelungu lalo elasungula ukuba nguLin-Manuel Miranda. Kwaye ke ndathi, 'Nceda uyithumele kum, ewe ndifuna ukuba yinxalenye yayo.' Yile ndlela ke uMnu. Diggs, owayeyimpumlo, umntakwabo kwaye umrepha okhawulezayo kakhulu — khawuthelekelele u-Eminem ophakamileyo kwiiklasi ze-Adderall kunye ne-elocution- kwindlela eya kuthi ekugqibeleni imkhokelele kuBroadway. Kamva ngorhatya eNew Orleans, yena kunye nabanye abathandana noFreestyle Uthando oluPhezulu babeza kwenza uhlekiso, impimpptu raps malunga no-Eli Manning, okanye iHolo yoDumo eyamkela uChris Carter. Ukuba nabani na apha angalijoni, iyakuba lixesha lesibhozo le Pro Bowler, Umnumzana Diggs watshiza ngestage, engazi ukuba esi sicengcelezo sasiza kubonakala ngathi kwiminyaka eliqela kamva.
UMnu Diggs kunye namehleli kwicandelo lolondolozo lwembali oluphezulu lweFraunces Tavern ePearl Street, indawo yokuhlala ephawulwe ngokwembali apho uGeorge Washington wamisa khona ikomkhulu ngaphambi kweMfazwe yoQhushululu. Ejikeleze uMnu Diggs yayingumboniso wemyuziyam: imifanekiso yendoda enempumlo encinci, yeengcungcu kunye nenxalenye yedada elihamba ngehashe, elineminyaka eli-19 ubudalaUMarquis de Lafayette, iqhawe laseFrance leMfazwe yoQhushululu yaseMelika.Umnumzana Diggs uyiphinda-phinda i-swagger quotient esele iqaphelekile Hamilton ngokubonakaliswa kwakhe kukaLafayette kwisenzo sokuqala somboniso kunye noThomas Jefferson kwesesibini. NjengoLafayette, uMnu Diggs wophule irekhodi lakhe sele enenombolo: Imipu kunye neenqanawa wenza imigqomo ngokusebenzisa amazwi akhawulezayo kwimbali yomculo, ngokomyinge wamagama ayi-6.3 ngomzuzwana ngolwimi olujijayo:
Ndithabatha eli hashe ngentambo makin ’
I-Redcoats redder enegazi
Kwaye ngekhe ndiyeke de ndenze 'em
Yehla kwaye utshise ‘em up kwaye usasaze intsalela yabo
Kwaye eWashington malunga nokubuyisela umhlobo wakhe kunye nomnye u-Alexander Hamilton owayengumfuduki ngexesha ledabi laseYorktown:
Mhlekazi, uyayazi into amakayenze emseleni
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, ndiyathetha—
Mnumzana, kuya kufuneka umsebenzise ekugqibeleni.
Yintoni ayenzayo ebhentshini? Ndinyanisa-
Akukho mntu unokomelela ngakumbi
Okanye utshatise ubukrelekrele bam,
Kuphela Sondheim Ukutshata Namhlanje ukusuka Inkampani isondela-amagama angama-6.2 ngomzuzwana-kodwa ke kwakhona, umlinganiswa okwingoma leyo bekungafuneki enze ukuba amagama akhe aqondakale ngesimbo esinzima saseFrance ngelixa exhuma etafileni.

Kungekudala emva kweSuper Bowl, uMnu Diggs wafumana ingxelo yeedemo UHamilton, apho uMiranda wayezenze ngokwakhe zonke iingoma kwaye warekhoda amabhithi kwiGarajiBand. MnaNgokukhawuleza yeyona nto intle endakha ndeva, wandixelela. Ndibaxelele nje, ‘Kufuneka ndenze ntoni ukuze ndibenxalenye yale nto? Ngaba kufuneka ndifunde ukucula? Ayizange yenziwe loo nto. Ufuna ntoni kum? ’Kodwa wayesele eyazi impendulo.
Ndinayo le nto. Ndiyakwazi ukudlwengula ngokukhawuleza. Ndiyakwazi ukudlwengula ngokwenene , ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Yinto elungileyo endiyenzileyo kwaye ndiye ndaziqeqesha ukuba ndiyenze; yinto endiyenzayo kwi-Bay Area. U-Lin uyakuthanda ukundibhalela kuba ndiyakwazi ukwenza izinto angenako ukuzenza. Angazibhala ezi zinto angenakuzenza, kodwa endizifumeneyo zilula ngobuchwephesha.
Bambalwa aba rappers uMnu Diggs okhule eyithanda, nangona kunjalo-Izitaki, i-Twista, i-E-40 kunye ne-Ace Rock-babekhe bathetha ngamabhongo ayimfihlo okuba ngenye imini benze ibhloko enye ukusuka kubalingisi Iimbandezelo . UMnu Diggs wakhulela e-Oakland, Calif., Unyana womama ongumJuda kunye notata omnyama. Ngokungafaniyo noyise uJefferson, uMnu Diggs wazifumanela imfundo ye-Ivy League eBrown, apho waye wafunelwa umkhondo kwaye waqhekeza irekhodi lesikolo leemitha ezili-110 njenge-sophomore (eyafika iluncedo xa yayilixesha lokwenza ezo zitsiba ziphakamileyo Hamilton ) kwaye ubalasele kwimidlalo yeqonga. Umsebenzi wakhe weqonga, nangona kunjalo, waye waqhawula umtshato kwibhongo lakhe lomculo: wavela kuphela kwimidlalo ethe tye, kwaye wabona izinto ngakumbi ekucofeni.irekhodi lijongana ne-Sub Pop kunokuhamba ngokwamanqanaba esithili semidlalo yeqonga esidumileyo. Okona kufutshane wayeqhele ukuza eBroadway kwiminyaka yakhe yokuqala eNew York, ngaphezulu kweshumi leminyaka eyadlulayo, wayedlula phantsi kweTimes Square kwi-IRT, apho, njengomphumeleleyo kutshanje ene- $ 100 ngeveki kwizibonelelo zokungaphangeli, ngamanye amaxesha uloliwe o-2 ebusuku endaweni yengozi kwiphedi yomhlobo.
Kodwa emva koko kwafika ukusikwa. kunye nendlela yempumelelo kuNxweme oluseNtshona, kwaye, ewe, ukusondela ngokwaneleyo kuMnumzana Miranda ukuba wayesegumbini apho kwenzeka khona ngobo busuku eNew Orleans akufumanisa ngeetheyiphu kwaye esazi ukuba kufuneka yinxalenye Hamilton .
Wanikwa ithuba lokuba eze enze umboniso kwetyala lakwangoko-ukufundwa okwenziwa eVassar, emva koko wabizwa ngamaxesha athile emva koko kwezinye iindibano zocweyo zemveliso. Ngawuphi na umzuzu, wayecinga ukuba, uya kulahlelwa umntu owaziyo into ayenzayo.Ndihlala ndicinga ukuba ndingumgcini nje wendawo, kukhumbula uMnu Diggs.Wayekhenketho noMarc Bamuthi Josephchoreopoem ILizwi libe yinyama xa kufika umnxebaukwenza imveliso ngaphandle kwe-Broadway kuLuntu. Ndandifana, 'Kuyamangalisa, ekugqibeleni ndiza kuba nakho ukwenza le nto ... emva koko bayakufumana omnye umntu we-Broadway,' ukhumbule uMnu Diggs.

UMnu Diggs ubala ubusuku bokuvula Hamilton kuRichard Rodgers njengenye yezona zihlandlo zobomi bakhe. Andizange ndiyenze iBroadway ngaphambili kwaye andikhange ndicinge ukuba ndenza iBroadway. Khange ndinqwenele ukuba kwiBroadway. Kwakulixesha leendawo, kwaye iingcinga zikaMnumzana Diggs zajika zaya kusapho kunye nabahlobo bakhe, ababephume bonke kwi-premiere ye-Great White Way; iphupha, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa lelomnye umntu, hayi elakhe.Ndiqale ukukrwitshwa ndilila kancinci, bendinemvakalelo nyani. Kwaye ke kwafuneka ndihambe eqongeni, kwaye mhlawumbi kwandithatha ndaya kuyo yonke inombolo yokuqala de ndazola ndaye ndenza umboniso.
Sisenzo sesibini, nangona kunjalo, apho uMnu Diggs asibetha khona sonke njengoThomas Jefferson, uFrancophile okhukhumeleyo kodwa ongenakuphikiswa efuna ukuthatha umoya kwiiseyile zikaHamilton ngexesha leemfazwe zabo zekhabinethi ze-rap-ezifanayo kanye nezandi. Ubomi, inkululeko kunye nokufuna ukonwaba, sizilwele ezi njongo besingafanele ukuba sizinze kancinane, Umnumzana Diggs-njengo-Jefferson ubetha kwimic yakhe ngelixa esenza umqondiso kwaye eqhubela phambili kumchasi wakhe, uNobhala we-Ofisi kaNondyebo u-Alexander Hamilton. La ngamagama anobulumko, amadoda anomdla awacaphula, musani ukumangaliswa, nina bantu, kuba ndiwabhalile. Emva kwakhe, uJames Madison usebenza njengendoda kaJefferson.
Xa ebuzwa ukuba ukwazile njani ukufumana umntu onjalo we-alpha, uMnu Diggs uxoxe ngenkqubo yakhe. Ndicinga ngokuzama ukuqonda indlela esinokumenza ngayo ifoyile efanelekileyo kuHamilton, xa uHamilton esoloko ephumelela kumdlalo wethu kwaye uhlala ehamba phambili, kwaye ulahla uJefferson kumdlalo wakhe. Kodwa kufuneka kubekho ukungavisisani apho, ke sigqibe kwelokuba uJefferson aphumelele nge-charisma. Unokuba sisidwangube ofuna ukuxhoma kuso, nokuba sele ugqibile ukuxhoma ngaphandle uzive umncinci malunga naso. Yayiyinxalenye yayo. Ukuba awuqinisekanga, yenza umfanekiso kaGoogle ukuba yintoni endiyiphosileyo, Hamilton ukubona i-GIF kaMnu Diggs njengoJefferson, esenza ingxelo ehlaziyiweyo yotyikityo lukaJohn Travolta Ipulp engeyonyani.
Ndizamile nje ukufumana abantu endinokubalinganisa. Ndiye ndayiba loo walk kumkhulu wam. Ndacinga ngabahlobo bam, abo-uhlala ufuna ukuba phakathi kwabo, kodwa bayingozi nje kancinci. Uyazi, nabo bathengisa umpu. Ke kuya kufuneka ukhethe amaxesha akho xa ukubangqongile. Kodwa kuninzi utatomkhulu wam kuThomas Jefferson, eneneni.
MnaUmntu, uMnumzana Diggs akabonakalisi nhlobo kwinto yokuba neqhayiya azisa kubo bobabini uJefferson kunye noLafayette. Uyathula, ehleka eneentloni kunye notyekelo lokukhohlela kakuhle ngaphambi kokuphendula umbuzo.Ubanga ingoma ayithandayo ukuba ayenze kumdlalo wonke yiLindeleni, apho avele acule ukhuphelo lwenombolo kaLeslie Odom Jr.Ucula isihogo ngaphandle kwengoma, kwaye ndiyathanda ukuyimamela rhoqo ebusuku, kwaye ndiyathanda ukuba phezulu phaya, utshilo uMnu Diggs. Kwaye ngumzuzu apho sonke-bonke abadlali-besesiteji, sidala uxinzelelo olukhulu kule ngoma yendoda enye. Kwaye xa isebenza, yinto entle kakhulu.
Xa ndambuza malunga nobunzima beshedyuli ye-Broadway, uMnu Diggs wanikina intloko.Iiyure ezimbini kunye nemizuzu engama-40 esiseqongeni yenza ezona ngqondo. Yiyo yonke enye into ebomini bam engavakaliyo. Ngolu hlobo, ndihleli apha-akukho mntu wakhe wafuna ukuthetha nam ngaphambili.
Kungcono aqhelane nayo. Sele ebonakalisiwe Umthetho kunye noMyalelo: SVU ngeli xesha lonyaka, cacisa isikhombisi njengayo nayiphi na into yokuba ngoku useNew Yorker.

Ewe kunjalo, bekukho enye intsebenzo ethe gqi engqondweni yakhe: emva kwemini bekukho ilungu elikhethekileyo labaphulaphuli elibukele nabantwana bakhe. Besicula 'Ixesha lokuGqibela,' ntetho yokurhoxa kukaGeorge Washington kumdlalo, ukhumbula uMnu Diggs. UChris Jackson [Washington] uyacula, kwaye simngqongile. Kwaye nangona bezama kangangoko ukuba bangacingi ngayo, wonke umntu okhuphayo wayesazi ukuba uMongameli uBarack Obama wayekho ngala mini; Bebesazi nokuba uhleli phi. Kwaye ngulo mongameli, umongameli wethu wokuqala omnyama kwikota yakhe yokugqibela, ebukele umntu omnyama edlala umongameli wokuqala kwikota yakhe yokugqibela, ngokusisiseko edala umbono wokuba abongameli banamagama okugqibela, ukuba oomongameli bahlukile kunookumkani kwaye akunjalo ngonaphakade. Yayingumzuzu we-surreal kwaye amandla ayephambene. Sonke sasicula njengempambano njengesifuba, silila. Ke lowo yayingumzuzu we-surreal.
Emva kokuba uMnu Diggs kunye nam sahlukene, ndavula i-TV kamva ngobo busuku ukuze ndibambe inxenye ye-Grammys, apho uMnu.Miranda wazisa iqela lakhe ukuba lamkele i-albhamu yabo ye-Best Musical Theatre- emva koko wanika intetho yakhe kwindinyana .
Emva kwakhe, ngasemva phantse kwakhe wonke umntu, unokwenza nje umfanekiso wee-Daveed Diggs ezinjengeegusha, encuma ngokungathandekiyo ngasemva ngelixa uphakamisa uphawu loxolo; Ndonwabe nje, kubonakala ngathi, ukuba siphinde sibe segumbini apho konke kusenzeka khona.
