Robin James of St. Paul:
1 Brianna Thomas, Everybody Knows. This album is a multigenre excursion of soulfulness, evoking many moods and emotions. Thomas flexible delivery is effortless and assured, particularly on her rendition of Nina Simone s Mississippi Goddam.
2 Jeremy Pelt, Griot: This Is Important! With this album, the jazz trumpeter expands on what it means to be a storyteller by capturing stories for posterity. It s his take on the West African Griot tradition where stories and reminiscences are handed down as oral histories, which here includes interviews with his peers followed by his compositions as exclamation points.

Peter Gabriel emerged from a long musical hiatus last week with a re-recording of his 1980 protest classic “Biko” where he was joined by artists from the around the world, including Yo-Yo Ma, the Cape Town Ensemble, Sebastian Robertson, and bassist Meshell Ndegeocello. It was part of Playing for Change’s Song Around the World initiative.
“On the black/white front the Black Lives Matter movement has made it very clear how far we still have to go before we can hope to say we have escaped the dark shadow of racism,” he adds.
This new version of “Biko” was first heard in December 2020 at Peace Through Music: A Global Event for Social Justice event, which was organized by Playing for Change and the United Nations Population Fund to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the U.N. It was introduced by Nkosinathi Biko, son of Steve Biko.
The money generated from “Biko” and Peace Through Music will support the Playing for Change Foundation, the United Nations Population Fund, the United Nations and its Remember Slavery Programme, Sankofa, the Bob Marley Foundation, Silkroad, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
