The musical idioms of the African diaspora are a profound element of contemporary expression, history and culture. Even so, does that necessarily mean its sounds have a place in Jewish spaces? What is its relationship to American Jews and the music already heard in Jewish spaces? And what about issues of tokenizing, appropriation and theology? This session, led by Artist in Residence Anthony Russell, attempts to find out through conversation, exploration and song.
Sponsored by the Roser Visiting Artist Program, Program in Jewish Studies, Jews of Color: Histories and Futures, Center for African and African American Studies, American Music Research Center, Religious Studies Department, and History Department.
Presented for free in-person by the CU Boulder College of Music.
