This talk examines what I refer to as ‘Quarantine Soul,’ music produced of a group artists – Dinner Party, Tobe Nwigwe, Moses Sumney, Lianne La Havas, Jay Electronica, Ego Ella May, and Samora Pinderhughes among others – that both anticipates and responds to the crisis of isolation, precarity and vulnerability imposed by White Supremacy in the midst of a Global Pandemic.” Mark Anthony Neal is James B. Duke Professor of African & African-American Studies and Professor of English, and Chair of the Department of African and African American Studies at Duke University.

FANDANGO AT THE WALL Screening & Panel Discussion for Clive Davis Institute
FANDANGO AT THE WALL follows Arturo O’Farrill, maestro Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra founder, and Kabir Sehgal, bestselling author and Grammy-winning music producer, as they prepare to record a live album at the U.S.-Mexico border wall. Their project is inspired by the annual music festival called Fandango Fronterizo, which unites people in son jarocho's song and dance on both sides of the Tijuana-San Diego border. Before recording, Fandango Fronterizo organizer, Jorge Francisco Castillo, takes O’Farrill and Sehgal on an inspiring journey of Veracruz, Mexico, where son jarocho, the 300-hundred-year-old folk music combining indigenous, Spanish, and African traditions originated.
