TRIBUTE TO GIL SCOTT-HERON (1er avril 1949 - 27 mai 2011 // April 1st, 1949 - 27 May, 2011)

Un hommage à ce créateur visionnaire, doué d'un sens littéraire inhabituel dans une culture très marquée par l'oralité, qui a mis à profit ses talents d'écrivain pour créer un style hybride, au carrefour du jazz et de la soul, utilisant sa musique comme une arme de libération et de justice dans le combat acharné qu'il mène contre le racisme et l'intolérance, scandant ses textes d'une voix hypnotique qui annonce le rap, ce poète de la rue se veut la voix de la conscience d'une société corrompue par le pouvoir et l'argent, à un carrefour particulièrement turbulent de son histoire.
