Few poets captured the 20th century African American experience with the depth and sensitivity of Langston Hughes. Charles Williams and Tom Teasley, the artists of the internationally renowned duo, Word-Beat, pay homage to Hughes' lyrical mastery in The Legacy of Langston. Through song, words and percussion, Word-Beat enlivens the poet's words, highlighting their ever-present rhythm and syncopation. Join these exquisite collaborators, whose performances that bring writers' words to life have been seen across the country and around the world.
