The Transformations Suite combines music, theatre, and poetry to examine the radical history of resistance within communities of the African diaspora. The themes of the suite move through five distinct phases: Transformation, History, Cycles, Momentum (parts 1 and 2), and Ascension. Continuing in the tradition of artists like Bob Marley, Duke Ellington, Marvin Gaye, Billie Holiday, and Tupac Shakur, the suite paints a musical picture of the current state of social inequality and injustice in the United States and beyond.

Within this framework, the project connects contemporary issues, such as the prison industrial complex and the Black Lives Matter movement, with the history of revolutionary movements of color. The composition builds a bridge between the past and the future – all within the context of poignant, beautiful, and sweeping moments created by the suite’s music. The powerful lyrics consist mostly of original poems by actor and poet Jeremie Harris, augmented by contributions from Pinderhughes, Saul Williams, and Tupac Shakur.

The Transformations Suite has been performed throughout South America and the U.S., at venues including the American Museum of Natural History, the Harlem Arts Festival, Juilliard, UC Irvine, NYU, Joe’s Pub, the Jazz Gallery, MoMA, and Columbia University. Most recently, the project was featured as part of Blackout for Human Rights’ #MLKNow event which was viewed by over 500,000 people and trended #1 on Twitter.

Centered in the belief that there is a soundtrack to every revolution, the vision for The Transformations Suite is that it will foster dialogue on social justice issues throughout the world, show how art can create social change, contribute to the powerful growing movement on behalf of black lives around the country, and empower all people – especially youth – to make their voices heard.

The release of The Transformations Suite was preceded by an event called “Black Male Re-Imagined”, a project co-presented by the Campaign for Black Male Achievement, where The Transformations Suite served as the prism through which artists and activists reflect on the current state of our nation. This event, doubling as the album’s release show, took place on October 11 at The Kennedy Center, including Lalah Hathaway, Freeway, Christian Scott, Haile Gerima, and more.

The Transformations Suite is released worldwide on October 12, 2016.

You can find the album on iTunes, Bandcamp, and all other outlets.
Special free bundles of the album will be available for youth organizations, activist groups, and schools.

“Wonderful...an absolutely gorgeous piece of music. A huge undertaking;; a nuanced, delicate, and powerful perspective on heavy and important topics."
- Anna Deavere Smith

"An urgent and powerful record by one of this generation’s most captivating composers. Not to mention an incredibly formidable player – Samora's command of the piano is out of this world! A must have record for anyone interested in progress. Musically or otherwise.."
- Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah

“Samora Pinderhughes calls for reappraisal of black life's value in ‘The Transformations Suite’... it is a five-part tone poem, arranged over meticulously created big band jazz instrumentals, with aims to provide a motivational and emotional engine to push forward the mission of Black Lives Matter."

solidao de amigos

Guppy

Meu coração tem um sonho antigo
Ter sempre alguém comigo, pertinho de mim
Compartilhar meus segredos, meus medos
Meus sonhos, meus desejos, tin tin por tin tin

E nos momentos de solidão ter alguém pra abraçar, me aquecer
Fazer eterno o fogo da paixão
Ter coisas de amor pra cantar, pra dizer

E se amar você é um crime eu aceito a sentença
Porque amar você é um crime, é um crime que compensa
E por amar você ser crime, talvez eu viva pra sempre
Como um fora da lei, como um fora da lei
Mas não vou viver fugindo, eu me rendo, eu me entrego
Fico preso em teu sorriso, preso em teu olhar sincero
Deus é meu juiz e essa causa está diante dele
Eu confesso, eu me escondi, como eu pude te enganar
Eu confesso o meu crime, mas pra Deus nunca foi crime amar

Seu coração tem muito a ver comigo
É muito parecido gosta de sonhar
Mas pra você sou seu melhor amigo
E de outra maneira não consegue me olhar..

ps: Eis que surge uma nova série! Nessa, estou fazendo a minha versão pra "Crime" do Henrique Cerqueira. Não vai pra o disco e é só uma brincadeira que fiz com o Adriano Gama, grande amigo lá da Bahia.. não tem edição aí foi um take só, OU SEJA, traves pra sempre. rs
