This April, Lincoln Center’s Meet the Artist joins New York University’s Institute of African American Affairs to present Resonate!

Each hour-long (4−5 p.m.) program features a performance by a noted African or African-American artist, followed by discussion and questions and answers moderated by Meklit Hadero, Artist-in-Residence of New York University’s Institute of African American Affairs.
Today meet African-American vocalist Chanda Rule and African vocalist Somi performing Listening to Roots & Voicing Branches, a multi-media work combining video, story and song that attempts to redress intra-racial tensions in the African Diaspora by exploring the cultural memory of various strands of the Black Atlantic experience.
