The Roots of Black Music in America
This event will take place in person in the Yeager Community Room located on the lower level of the Library.
Karlus Trapp’s delightful, educational, and entertaining presentation ”The Roots of Black Music in America” is
a 100 year journey back through time to hear, experience anew, and learn about the music of America’s black musical giants. It is a joyful and informative program that comes alive through songs, stories, and history. Please be warned: If you view/attend this show, you may find yourself uncontrollably smiling, singing or humming for hours afterward.
Presented by: Veteran troubadour, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, music educator, and native New Yorker Karlus Trapp has been playing music since the age of five. For the past thirty years he has been spreading joy through his music with solo and band performances throughout the Northeast, and now, “virtually” at libraries and schools across the country. His original music has been used for both network TV and international television markets. Karlus has been performing his “Roots of Black Music” show with Staten Island’s Universal Temple of the Arts Ensemble for over 10 years, entertaining and educating thousands of school
children and adults alike with this wonderful production.
