Diaspórica
with Danielle Almeida
with DANIELLE ALMEIDA, DANY ARCE, BIBIANA ARENA, JEAN CAMMAS, SAMUEL CARDENAS, JOANA DE LEON, DIEGO MAURILIO, KATHERINE TASAYCO, NORMAN PEPLOW
Following her contribution to our Learning to Listen podcast, singer and ADKDW artist-in-residence Danielle Almeida presents her didactic concert Diaspórica live at King Georg in Cologne. In a didactic recital, the audience will be introduced to a series of songs and rhythms by 20th-century Black women singers from the Latin American musical repertoire. Almeida will be accompanied by musicians Katherine Tasayco (percussion), Jean Cammas (double bass) and Norman Peplow (piano). In addition to the musical performance, Almeida will present parts of her research dedicated to making visible and remembering Black women singers from Peru, Cuba, Uruguay, Mexico and Brazil.
The special format is based on Danielle Almeida’s work and activism against racism and colonialism. Didactic concerts focus on the interaction of the artists with the audience, complementing the sensory experience of music with the transfer of knowledge about the works presented. The goal of this method is to inspire the audience to discover new musical references and non-hegemonic narratives in music history.
