Portrait for Keith + Mendi Obadike

Portrait for Keith + Mendi Obadike. (Jan 19, 2013)

Hosted by Tom Roe.

Keith + Mendi Obadike will join host Tom Roe live from free103point9's Wave Farm and the WGXC Acra studio to present a special broadcast of their net.opera "The Sour Thunder" (Bridge Records). "The Sour Thunder" tells a double-sided story blending autobiography and speculative fiction. Sesom travels from a land where scent is language to a land where language is spoken. Mendi travels from Atlanta (the US) to Santiago (the DR). "The Sour Thunder" explores the role of geography in identity and the idea of language as a technology. The first iteration of this project was simultaneously performed in and webcast from the Yale Cabaret and Afro American Cultural Center.
