A Song of Triumph II: The Diaspora of Black Music PERFORMANCE 2

Описание: The event took place on June 17, 2023 at the Museum of the African Diaspora in two performances.

Community Music Center (CMC), is proud to partner with the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) to present A Song of Triumph II: The Diaspora of Black Music. This work is developed and co-produced by Maestro Curtis PhD, Department Head of CMC’s Black Music Studies Program. A Song of Triumph II is a celebration of American Black culture (descendants of Alkebulan/African slaves) that has impacted the world and crossed all ethnic and color lines. The musical suite will feature music written and composed by Maestro and The Curtis Family Cnotes and feature talented CMC faculty Clif Payne, Rita Lackey, Ken Little, Jon Jang, Tregar Otton and others to be announced. A Song of Triumph II will share a musical collage of genres – drawing from The Black Church, an historical place of safe haven, where skills, ideals, and faith abounded despite the treachery of slavery. A Song of Triumph II will musically trace the path from Black spirituals developed in the church which gave birth to the blues, barbershop, gospel, jazz, country, early bluegrass, folk, rock and roll, R&B, and funk.
