These trailers use doc-style interview excerpts to promote the release of Davóne Tines debut album, ROBESOИ.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT: PAUL ROBESOИ was the epitome of the 20th-century Renaissance man. He was an exceptional athlete, actor, singer, cultural scholar, author, and political activist. Inspired by his father, an escaped slave and minister, he incisively fought racism. He tirelessly traveled the world singing folk songs of different cultures and giving speeches to tens of thousands as a spokesperson for the oppressed of other nations. His talents made him a revered man of his time, yet prosecution of his political beliefs all but erased him from popular history. Today, more than one hundred years after his birth, Robeson is just beginning to receive the credit he is due. I pray my album ROBESOИ adds to that credit.
