ABOUT
LISTEN
Songs of Remembering features Tonality and Wild Up with Angel Blue, Jamal M. Moore, and Ogi. The centerpiece, Running From, Running To, honors Ahmaud Arbery, a young Black man whose 2020 killing while jogging sparked national outcry. With new arrangements of “Poor Wayfaring Stranger” and the world-premiere recording of “Deep River,” the album calls for justice, healing, and resilience through song.
