In this TowerTalk, Associate Professor of Music Shawn Okpebholo will take you through a journey of discovery, including field research experiences in Nigeria and Kenya and his study of the Negro spiritual. He will show how the infusion of musical languages has added depth and breadth to his compositions. And through this experience, he will demonstrate how discovering the rich roots of his cultural heritage has freed his compositions and enabled him to share and connect with others in a way that is both deep, and wide.
