  • Performance poet SEKOU SUNDIATA (SAY-coo SOON-de-ah-ta). Often he performs with his music ensemble, "Dadahdoodahda." A Village Voice critic wrote of SUNDIATA, ". . . like Billie Holiday, Sundiata surprises with images and tumbling phrases that blend with subtle rhythmic variations. Dadahdoodahda provided enough familiar riffs and melodies to fill a dance floor. . . With boy next door charm and trickster wit, Sundiata leaves your skull intact, but repositions it to square the glitter of false prophets with the voices in your head." SUNDIATA's work includes the performance piece, "The Circle Unbroken is a Hard Bop." His latest "The Mystery of Love," is currently making its world premiere at the American Music Theater Festival in Philadelphia.
