(M)iyamoto is Black Enough
Lovelace Studio Theater
Andy Akiho, composer; Roger Bonair-Agard, Lyricist; Sean Dixon, percussion; Jeffrey
Zeigler, cello
A contemporary band performs a riveting piece about Ariana Miyamoto, the mixed-race winner of Miss Universe Japan 2015, who weathered backlash for her lack of “pure” parentage – that she was not Japanese enough. Prepare yourself for a brash symphony of hard-driving rhythms and biting social commentary.
“This is exactly what we need to hear right now.” – Arts & Culture Texas
