Diaspora Duos

About this event

*Diaspora Duos* is back! Join BIYA BIYA at Color Club for a lively music series where artists from different cultures are commissioned to collaborate together! Steeped in diverse traditions, each specially curated Duo will present a world premiere set that showcases the two performers’ cultural roots. **Featured Duos:** A native of Taiwan, **Tzu-Tsen Wu** (recipient of "Best Asian Entertainer" of The 42th Chicago Music Award) is a Chicago based plucked-string multi-instrumentalist specializing in Zhong Ruan (中阮) and world music. She’s a voting member of Recording Academy focusing on bridging cultural understanding through music. **Melissa DuPrey** is an Award-winning AfroLatina multidisciplinary artist from Chicago's Humboldt Park community. She has 5 critically-acclaimed solo shows and one full-length play. She is an Artistic Collective member of Teatro Vista. As a musician and active member of her community, she is dedicated to the preservation of Puerto Rican culture by way of the folkloric music, Bomba y Plena, with Africaribe and Segundo Ruiz Cultural Center. As a lifelong student of Indian Classical Music, **Neeraja Abhyankar** loves to sing semi-classical, folk, Sufi, and Marathi songs while dabbling in Acapella. **Vita E.** exists as a mixture of various musical styles, personified through her lens as a Non-Binary Black Trans Woman in the United States. Their art has been known to be expressive, raw, and reflective of the times in which we live. Immerse yourself in diasporic sounds from across the globe!
