For My Sweet - Live Jazz Mondays: Nana Camille Yarbrough
Join For My Sweet every week for Jazzy Mondays! This week's entertainment features two shows (7:15pm & 9:15pm) from Nana Camille Yarbrough.
Camille Yarbrough is an award-winning performance artist, author, and cultural activist. With a career that spans over fifty years, several continents, countless awards and accolades, and a few generations, Nana Camille has earned legendary status. She continues to inspire audiences today via her local, long running television show (Ancestor House), via her popular musical CD (also entitled Ancestor House), and via performances and lectures about poetry, music, Black art and culture.
Billboard Magazine: “...Yarbrough has stylish traces of Nina Simone and Gil Scott-Heron but her own style of singing and recitation ... are outstanding. Her songs are all thought provoking.”
