Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The writer discusses the career of New Orleans poet, musician, and activist Kalamu Ya Salaam, whose blend of music and political activity was fashioned by the city's unique, jazz-blues infused environment. She describes Kalamu's life as a testimony not just to surviving as a creative artist while working for the benefit of the community, but to the fusion of a creative and political practice that improves and increases the potential for the transformation of both art and society.
