Roots Revival: Our Struggle, Our Glory, Our Story
4+1 Art Exhibition
Weekend Reception Sponsors
Roots Revival is an original cabaret that chronicles the journey of African Americans from West Africa to the present in song, dance, and spoken word. On February 3rd, 2012, a cast of A-list local talent spanning five generations will take the stage at the North Fourth Art Center to perform a wide range of musical styles—everything from Broadway show to African drum and dance to poetry slam to soul and R&B. Roots Revival celebrates the Zimbabwean proverb: "If you can walk, you can dance. If you can talk, you can sing." The Roots Revival stage show is being produced by Rainbow Studio Theater, which was founded by singer-songwriter Cathryn McGill and dancer-choreographer Regina Dawley. Their mission is to celebrate and preserve African American culture in New Mexico. Cathy McGill says Roots Revival “demonstrates the resilience and the deeply rooted determination of our people” and that the audience will understand “what community and family means in our tradition.” Regina Dawley is excited about collaborating with other New Mexican musicians and choreographers to put on a diverse and spectacular show.
