The Price of Freedom
The Imani Winds is commissioning ten new works to celebrate their ten years together. On today's show, we'll hear the world premiere of Jason Moran's "Cane," written for the Imani Winds. In it, Moran tells his own family history, centered near Louisiana's Cane River. Moran traces his ancestry through a slave woman named Coin-Coin. She won own freedom, and then became a successful plantation owner, earning money to purchase her own children's freedom. "Cane" is our weekly 21st-century feature.
