Paul Gladstone Reid sings and writes music in many different styles from rap and hip hop to opera. In Moving Away he sings with a voice which is rooted in the soul and gospel traditions. Soul and gospel came out of the southern states of the USA in the early 20th century and have a vital place in the musical tastes of today.
In this clip Paul talks about what it was like mixing different musical styles and traditions, and performing Moving Away. But first he talks about Kasse Mady’s singing and what it means.
