Description

The BU Arts Initiative is pleased to welcome Marc Bamuthi Joseph in a concert performance of Blackbird, Fly. BLACKBIRD, FLY weaves together an enduring tapestry of movement, narrative, music, and Haitian folklore to engage audiences in dialogue about critical questions of our time. Steeped in hip-hop aesthetic, this intimate duet between two preeminent sons of Haitian immigrants — composer/violinist DBR, and arts activist & spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph — unveils their life stories in search of their identity and role models, and explores universal themes of tolerance and inclusion.
