Suite For Malcolm X: The Resurrection Tone Poems at Harlem School of the Arts

Harlem School of the Arts presents excerpts from acclaimed composer and musician Rachiim Ausar-Sahu's Suite For Malcolm X: The Resurrection Tone Poems. The epic multi-media musical presentation brings to life the valor and virtue of the civil rights activist, author, and spiritual leader Malcolm X. Artists include vocalist Tulivu Donna Cumberbatch, percussionist Chief Neil and Ayanda Clarke and vocalist Terry Davis, featuring an opening performance by HSA's very own Griot Choir.

From the backdrop of a fierce and severe social backlash to the modest social requests and gains of the time, the quest for the assertion of a distinctly positive Black Self-hood did arise. Malcolm X personified the pride, confidence, grace and genius of that time. This work revisits and revives those attitudes of cultural pride that were common to all affairs of Black life then, and indeed central to the worldwide thrust for a common dignity and a universal human respect. The impassioned, 'insightful' musical and lyrical images of this artwork are designed to empower Our village, at this time....
