Known to her fans as Zap Mama, Marie Daulne redefines the term "vocalist." She is more than just a singer — she alternates between storytelling and organic creative expression utilizing the tonality of the human voice.
Since first bursting on the scene almost 20 years ago, the Belgian-Congolese diva has wowed audiences around the world with her unique sound, which seamlessly blends African, American, and European cultural influences and effortlessly mixes genres such as R&B, hip-hop, and jazz with indigenous and tribal sounds.
Zap Mama's seven album-deep catalog represents her mastery of what African griots recognize as the seventh sense: the ability to heal through music. In addition to her musical endeavors, Daule has worked with humanitarian aid organizations Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International, CARE and the United Nations.

Langston Hughes' Black Nativity:
A Boston Holiday Celebration

 
Langston Hughes' Black Nativity -- a joyous account of the nativity told through scripture, verse, music and dance -- is a true Christmastime tradition, and National Center of Afro-American Artists' captivating production is the longest running performance of the Harlem Renaissance poet's song-play in the world. First performed in 1961, Black Nativity is a retelling of the Christmas story from an Afro-centric perspective, intended to explore the depths of cultural identity, pride and unity within the African-American community. It's lively, inspiring production for the whole family, infused with rich, moving live music, singing, dancing and storytelling.
