Music For Minorities : Mikel Rouse

Mikel Rouse believes “We are all a minority of one. Everyone has been marginalized at some point in their life. This is everyone’s story.” Music For Minorities is a fascinating integration of film, music and performance. This must-see event reflects the trademark blues style of his roots in Louisiana and the Southern delta. On split screens, moving stories are told in fragments as Rouse plays guitar and sings songs accompanied by a soundscape of percussion and multiple guitars. High art meets popular culture as the mix and match aesthetic of the early 80’s Manhattan music and art scene are brought together in this entirely original and affecting method of storytelling that has been compared by critics to hearing Bob Dylan for the first time, in terms of a totally new and different sound and approach. £10, £15
