(Visiting Presenter) Lady Shani - PEP's Y Palmas Album Release Party

Other “Y Palmas” arrives in New York as a live program at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts, featuring Lady Shani among the performers. Framed as a cultural event rather than a spectacle, it leans on rhythm, voice, and stage presence to trace how identity is carried through music and movement. If this is its NYC premiere, it reads as part of the city’s ongoing record of diaspora work finding a public platform. The piece suggests that tradition survives less through preservation than through revision.
