Journey Through the Center of the Blues: a duo performance tracing the blues from its prewar roots through jazz and R&B, and into global styles shaped by its enduring influence.
Multi-instrumentalist, Saïs Kamalidiin, a native of Houston, Texas, plays nine different instruments and has performed extensively worldwide. As a professor at Howard University, he is committed to educating and inspiring the next generation of musicians, with a focus on African American musical traditions. Guitarist & violinist, Leonard Brown, blends blues tradition with bold versatility. A New Jersey native, Brown's sound moves seamlessly through blues, jazz, classical, rock, and funk. From heartfelt musicianship to genre-crossing performances, he infuses depth, soul, and originality in every note he creates.
