AfriClassical, the blog companion to the website AfriClassical.com, is delighted that the influential classical music blog On An Overgrown Path began the month of October by paying tribute to the achievements of the Nigerian pianist Sodi Braide in a post entitled 'Classical - music of the Whites':
October is Black History Month here in the UK when we celebrate African and Caribbean contributions to our society with amonth long programme of events. We have celebrated classical musicians of colour On An Overgrown Path recently with features on the Guyanese clarinettist and conductor Rudolph Dunbar and the Afro-French composer Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, and with contributions from John McLaughlin Williams. Today, to mark the start of Black History Month, here is the story of 32 year old Nigerian pianist Sodi Braide, with thanks to the excellent AfriClassical and Le Piano Bleu websites.
