On Jan. 9, 2008, Rashida N. Black, Founder/Executive Director of The Myrtle Hart Society, www.MyrtleHart.org/, received this message from the Afro-Brazilian singer Juarês de Mira, whose Negro Spirituals have been discussed in an earlier post on AfriClassical:
My name is Juarês de Mira. I am a lyrical singer. I live in Curitiba, in Southern Brazil. I am dedicated to the Negro Spirituals (Classically Arranged) and Folksongs: Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Aaron Copland... and Brazilian Art songs from composers such as Waldemar Henrique, Francisco Mignone, Hekel Tavares, Camargo Guarnieri, Lorenzo Fernandez ... which I study and present in concerts and recitals.
To listen to the songs from my performances, Click in My profile in Youtube.com/ myspace. There exist many songs from Mr. Harry Burleigh, Rosamond Johnson, Lawrence Brown, Hall Johnson, Roland Hayes, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern :
