Featured Performers: Ghazi Omair, “I, Too, Sing America. I, Too, Am America.”
Inspired by a poem by Langston Hughes, Ghazi Omair sets poetry and writings to music in this performance that combines spoken word, hip-hop and jazz.
Ghazi Omair is a Hip-Hop Lyricist/Poet from Hartford, CT. He has performed at venues throughout the Tri-State area and focuses on the musical space between Hip-Hop and Jazz. He has worked with artists such as Matt Dwonzsyk, The Lost Tribe, Cappadonna, Self Suffice, Michael Pallas and other artists throughout New York and Connecticut.
Ghazi’s last release is titled “Lavender” and can be found on all major streaming platforms. Lavender is an experimental project combining Trap, Hip-Hop and Jazz while splicing conversations of social commentary between the songs.
Sponsored by the Richard P. Garmany Fund at the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation; the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee; and the Ensworth Charitable Foundation, Bank of America.
