Grex: "Auntie + Tebs" (w/Bobby Bradford, Zoh Amba, Francis Wong)

[ep1str0phy]

Hello, all-

For those of you proximate to the SF Bay Area - my project Grex is proud to be presenting "Auntie + Tebs" - an experimental work that celebrates the sound of revolutionary change. The project premieres May 31 and June 1 in Oakland, CA.

The project title “Auntie + Tebs” references two epochal figures: Miriam Defensor Santiago, my Aunt and a longtime Filipino public servant, and Louis Moholo-Moholo (“Tebs”), the innovative South African drummer and Anti-Apartheid activist. Both of these individuals devoted their lives to toppling corruption and oppression in their home countries. This project, which is centered on free jazz, spoken word, and experimental aesthetics, underlines the relationship between Bay Area activism and hard-fought battles abroad.

For this project, we're excited to be welcoming the great Bobby Bradford (both shows) and firebrand Zoh Amba (6/1 only) to the Bay. It's a rare opportunity to see some unique, potent figures in an unusual setting.
