“A fierce tide of feeling—rage and despair, love and hope and exaltation.” —New York Times
A conversation between two Black luminaries unfolds in this musical performance, the latest evolution of Grammy winner Meshell Ndegeocello’s study of writer and activist James Baldwin. A forerunner of the neo soul movement, Ndegeocello traverses genres in her work. Jazz and gospel come to the fore as she delivers a theatrical live rendition of No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin, her 2024 album released on its namesake’s 100th birthday. Her songs pose existential questions about love and collective understanding. Experience a celebratory and transformative musical experience as Ndegeocello draws on traditions of worship and testimony.
Presented in association with the Dakota.
