"I Got My Life: The Music of Nina Simone"

Nina Simone Tribute by Soul-Jazz Artist Ramona Renea

She's been called a "showstopper" by "Variety" and a "sultry songstress" by "The Washington Post", and now soulful vocal phenom Ramona Renea brings "I Got My Life", her career-spanning tribute to the music of Nina Simone, to Cafe Wha? in NYC. Simone was known as the High Priestess of Soul, famed for her unforgettable renditions of R&B and jazz classics like Gershwin's "I Loves You, Porgy," "My Baby Just Cares for Me and "I Put a Spell on You." This stirring tribute is presented in three parts: tunes that highlight Simone's musical commentary on black female identity, followed by love songs that track several of her most complex relationships, and finally, selections that reflect the acclaimed artist's gospel-infused celebration of blackness.
