Join the group "Black Heritage" on an unforgettable and unique musical journey through "Black music," featuring the fascinating and charismatic vocalist and composer Mfa Kera from Madagascar—also known as "The Voice"—and the extraordinary guitarist and singer Mike Russell from Washington, D.C. The versatility and extreme richness of their repertoire and the high level of soloists and compositions and texts allows the group to fit on both Jazz and World music venues and festivals. Black Heritage is known for Afro-soul, funk, and jazz music.
Of Creole extraction KERA was born in Madagascar and grew up in Senegal. After moving to Paris, she began her professional career singing the Blues and Gospel with Memphis Slim and working with such luminaries as Mickey Baker, John Lee Hooker and Milton Buckner. She was invited to sing in the Film "The Adventure Of Jazz" which top billing were Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton and George Benson, and she released her first music on record as part of homage to Mahalia Jackson.
