Old Town School of Folk Music’s Community Ventures department is presenting a four part NOITP summer series that will explore Nina Simone’s jazz composition, “Four Women”, a scathing critique of the injustice and suffering endured by Black folks in the United States and beyond. The series will feature four performances in South and West Side parks, each centered on one of Simone’s archetypal women.This 60-minute performance places Simone’s Peaches in dialogue with Obba, a feminine Orisha from the Afro-Cuban Lucumí tradition. This special diasporic exploration features Angel Bat Dawid and Fred Jackson Jr. with choreography by Ayesha Jaco.
