Leyla McCalla - Vari-Colored Songs [LP] Soul-Jazz & Boogaloo musical~Appendices Original EndLeyla McCalla's Vari Colored Songs is a celebration of the complexity of Black culture and identity, and a tribute to the legacy of poet and thinker Langston Hughes. A songwriter and multi instrumentalist, McCalla sets Hughes' poems to her own spare yet profound compositions. She juxtaposes these with arrangements of folk songs from Haiti, the first independent Black nation and the homeland of her parents, tapping into the nuances of Black experience.
