Performers
THE FRUIT OF LABOR SINGING ENSEMBLE is the PMN Artist in Residence for the 2017 PMN Winter Gathering. The group was born out of the struggle of organizing African American workers in the Black Belt region of North Carolina and the South. More than twenty-two workers, at various times, have participated in this dynamic cultural workers organization. Recruited from workplace and community struggles, members use song to educate about working class history and about the fruitful victories (as well as the bitter setbacks) of oppressed peoples when we organize.
THE AMANDLA CHORUS brings powerful international music of justice, celebration, struggle, and peace. In addition to traditional and contemporary songs from around the world, Amandla performs original works by founder and director Eveline MacDougall and draws inspiration from its heroes: Cesar Chavez, Pete Seeger, Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Wally and Juanita Nelson, and Malala Yousafzai. Amandla means power in the South African language of Zulu.
