Black History Month
Join vocalist Imani as she traces the roots of jazz music through work songs, spirituals, blues, swing and bebop. This fun, fast-paced and interactive program features an introduction to the many sounds of the voice through call and response. Learn songs from various eras, and then join Imani in a real jazz jam! The program is appropriate for all ages.
Imani has performed traditional African music for the Smithsonian Institute Folklife Festival and the World Music Institute. She is a Resident Artist with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and a workshop presenter with the Kennedy Center Partners-In-Education National Touring Program. She is also a Roster Artist with the Louisiana Division of the Arts and South Carolina Arts Commission.
Imani’s diverse vocal talents have led to collaborations with many notable musicians and ensembles, as well as a variety of film and television projects. Since 1989, she continues to be the first and only American to perform and tour with the genuinely traditional Ghanaian ensemble Yacub Addy, and she most recently performed, toured and recorded with jazz great Wynton Marsalis. Imani’s voice was featured on the musical soundtrack of the Emmy nominated film The Jane Goodall Biography, and on many of the National Geographic Television’s Explorer series soundtracks.
A native of South Carolina, Imani has lived in the Washington, DC, area for more than 20 years. Her vocal training includes the New England Conservatory, Berklee School of Music and Howard University.
