Carlos Simon’s new album ‘Requiem For The Enslaved was released on June 17th 2022.
Equal parts sobering, heartfelt and moving, this work is created by director and choreographer Jamar Roberts, and features composer Carlos Simon's setting of verses by playwright and librettist Sandra Seaton. In a breathtaking performance, solo dancer Lloyd Knight, a principal dancer for the Martha Graham Dance Company, brings movement to the piece in combination with the voice of tenor Joshua Blue.
A short film Carlos scored about Adelia Davis, a Detroit native who graduated from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor where she studied biopsychology, cognition, and neuroscience. She received the Wallenberg Fellowship that allowed her to carry out a global self-directed service project.
