about

This album is a live performance of several Nina Simone songs on August 13, 2016 at Notes in Columbus, Ohio. The show was produced by a young gifted, and Black human Counterfeit Madison. It was performed as a declaration of Black beauty and pride, using Nina's art and spirit as a way to explore all levels of this beauty and pride in both her and myself. It also, during the inception, development, performance, and aftermath of the show, became a rebellion against several attempts from non-Black folks of all kinds defining Blackness for me and other Black folk. The resistance came from unexpected places and was quite eye-opening. Still, we create, produce, explode, reset, and continue.
