Listening to D’Angelo
Join Edward George (The Strangeness of Dub) and Dhanveer Singh Brar (Teklife, Ghettoville, Eski) for a live journey into the mesmerising and troubling sound world of D’Angelo’s Voodoo.
Released in 2000, this album marked the apex and perhaps limit of his musical career, and by extension, the apex of RnB, Soul, and Funk's impact on American society since the 1960s.
With curtains drawn and nothing on screen, the cinema will serve as an environment for close listening to the sounds and ideas flowing out of what is arguably Black American music’s most generative encounter with the wider diaspora.
Sound provided by Pavilion’s new speaker system which will soon be available for creative and community use.
Please note, this event will begin promptly at 6pm, so please allow yourself plenty of time to arrive.
