 Workshop with Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell, "Singing in the African American Tradition"
Saturday, Nov. 19, 9:15 - 5:00
Singers and non-singers alike will share the common experience of learning in the oral tradition and singing rhythms, chants, traditional songs from Africa and the Diaspora, and a variety of songs from the African American culture, including spirituals, ring shouts, hymns, gospels, and songs from the Civil Rights Movement. The historical, social, political and spiritual context will provide an introduction to the songs.
In addition to being a scholar, author, composer and actress, since 1979 Dr. Barnwell has been a member of the internationally-recognized a cappella ensemble, "Sweet Honey In The Rock."
