Minneapolis-based, nationally touring artist Joe Davis and The Poetic Diaspora, an ensemble of Twin Cities powerhouse vocalists and multi-instrumentalists, unite for an energizing album celebration concert that explores Black Diasporic music and poetry.Influenced by icons like Gil Scott-Heron, Langston Hughes, Nina Simone, Sun Ra, Erykah Badu, and The Roots, the eclectic collective delivers Diaspora: On the Rise—a genre-defying fusion of funky gospel, soulful harmonies, and raw poetic lyricism, grooving to the themes of Black Joy, Black Love, and Black Liberation.
Through stories of struggle, resilience, and celebration, they remind us music and poetry are our most powerful tools for communal healing and transformation.
