Black Banjo Renaissance #12
Dr Angela Wellman and the Oakland Public Conservatory of Music // @wellmanangela @blackbanjofiddle
I first met Angela Wellman years ago when we were both working on an amazing black Vaudeville project for Old Town School of Folk Music – she is an amazing artist on the trombone in addition to being an educator, and I knew then we would keep in each other’s orbits. Since then, she has embarked on a parallel journey of the banjo and has furthermore opened up a school dedicated the passing on of black music traditions in her community of Oakland in California.
Her dedication to the generations to come is beyond inspiring. Check out the school and support if you can! | Posted on 23/Feb/2024 17:52:31
