Enfield Library To Host 'The Roots Of Black Music In America'

Press release from Enfield Public Library:

Jan. 14, 2021

Karlus Trapp’s delightful, educational, and entertaining presentation, "The Roots of Black Music in America" is a 100-year journey back through time to hear, experience anew, and learn about the music of America’s black musical giants. It is a joyful show that encourages and comes alive through audience participation and interaction with singing, dancing, call and response and percussion playing.

A 2012 inductee to the NYC Blues Hall of Fame, Karlus Trapp has been playing music since he was 5 years old and has been teaching guitar and making a living playing music for over 30 years. As a music educator, Mr. Trapp has been bringing his music and talents to schools for over 20 years. One of his most notable accomplishments was in 2002, when he worked with the education department of Snug Harbor Cultural Center, the New York Times School Arts Rescue and over a half–dozen schools, which resulted in close to thirty original songs co–written with school children directly affected by September 11th.

This program is sponsored by the Enfield Culture and Arts Commission.
