Public Listening of The Roots' new concept album, undun

The Roots’ recent concept album, undun, follows one main protagonist throughout the album, beginning with his death on the first track and continuing in reverse chronological order through his life. A modern epic poem of sorts, the album is meant to be listened to in one sitting.


We will do exactly that at MCNY January 31st, 2012.


Room 12L, listening 6:30-7:20, discussion to follow with Empowerment through the Arts’ students, Dr. Lynn Sally, and panelists including Sherman Johnson, NYC DJ, hip hip critic, and journalist.

This event is part of MCNY’s “Urban Dialogues” series.  “Urban Dialogues” is a forum in which scholars, legislators, policy makers, students and citizens exchange ideas and discuss issues and trends that affect New York City and other urban centers across the nation. Topics cover a spectrum of ideas, theories and viewpoints that inform and/or influence urban policy.

MCNY faculty, students, and staff are invited.  RSVP to lsally@mcny.edu.
