Juwon Ogungbe is developing some stunning new ideas for recordings and performances - uder wraps for now. Meantime his commmission to create a music and poetry performance with a Jazz sensibility for a launch event for an exhibition of photos and written material about the African, Asian and Caribbean seamen that lived in the Docklands area of London in the 1920s and ’30s was a great success, well attended. The exhibition – A New Home in Canning Town, is presented by the Newham New Deal Project, with generous support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and will be open for the general public to see at Stratford Circus ( www.stratford-circus.com )
Juwon performed jazz, blues and music hall songs from the era, plus some of his own compositions and will link them together with some narrative passages and poems from Jazz Age wordsmiths such as Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. Also to be included in the programme, are works by Carol Ann Duffy – the Poet Laureate, and Benjamin Zephaniah.
Joyce Moholoagae – the South African soprano, performed with Juwon, adding " lustre, wit, talent and skill to the occasion as well as feminine grace" says Juwon..
