Perspectives S36 / Ep47 Black Violin - where Hip Hop and Classical music mix

Black Violin will perform at the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre on Saturday, July 20 at 8pm. My guest for Perspectives is one half of this dynamic duo, Wil Baptiste. About this group 303 Magazine wrote, "Today, genre-defying acts dominate the music industry, and artists move between styles with a level of comfort rarely — if ever — observed before. Few of these musical shapeshifters are as original and as captivating as string instrumentalists Kev Marcus and Wil B, who fuse hip-hop and classical music together as the band, Black Violin." Will shares their back story with me, their commitment to exposing young people to their talent reaching more than 100,000 students annually via their free performances and creating new and innovative music.
