This beautiful recording session 5/5/25 with the great #ReggieWorkman flew by too quickly. O, to have his energy at age 87, should I be so lucky to reach it. W/ #JasonRostowski (engineer), #MayaWorkman (author), #AyanaWorkman (voice), #TimAngulo (drums), #JasonKaoHwang (violin), me (voice/gayageum)

“We are not strangers
We are not separate beings
We are sister and brother only”
—Some words from lakado maestro Mestre Marsal taught me in Fahisoe village, Aileu district, #TimorLeste, guided by Nelson Turquel.

In Rome til July creating an opera about fertility in land and body. This excerpt is from a performance of a new song of mine that I sang @Auditorium Parco Della Musica. But what does pregnancy, fertility even mean in a genocide? 1 of many Q’s I’m grappling with in {Fertile Land, Fertile Body}.
