At its heart is Taína Asili\, a dynamic singer\, composer\, interdisciplinary artist\, and educator carrying on the tradition of her Puerto Rican ancestors\, fusing past and present struggles into one soulful and defiant voice. She is celebrated by NPR\, Rolling Stone\, Billboard and Democracy Now! for her soulful\, genre-blending music echoing calls for love and liberation. For the past 30 years she has offered energetic performances at diverse venues nationwide – from iconic stages such as Carnegie Hall\, to renowned festivals like San Francisco Pride\, to historic events like The Women’s March on Washington – inspiring audiences to dance to the rhythm of rebellion.  \n\n\n\nThe liberation themes in Asili’s work are deeply rooted in her involvement in local and national activism\, collaborating with numerous organizations throughout the years. As U.S. Coordinator for One Billion Rising and Board Chair of Soul Fire Farm\, Taína’s artistic and activist work sits at the intersection of racial\, gender\, food\, and climate justice. Her Resiliencia album embodies this mission\, drawing from interviews with women of color across the U.S.\, Canada\, and Puerto Rico—stories of resilience in the face of cancer\, hurricanes\, migration\, and sexual violence. This project extended into an award-winning documentary series\, offering a powerful musical and visual exploration of these lived experiences. Additionally\, during her residency with the Social Justice Portal Project\, Asili created The Justice Suite\, a multimedia trilogy of music and video interventions addressing abolition\, climate justice\, and economic democracy.  \n\n\n\nFever Pitch\, Asili’s latest interdisciplinary production\, unites decades of her original work into a one-hour spectacle designed to ignite climate justice action on local\, national\, and global scales. Collaborating with choreographer Gregory Theodore Marsh and dancer/vocalists Eliane Rowe and Hettie Barnhill\, she has crafted a mesmerizing fusion of live music and movement. Media artist Joseph Amodei adds another layer of depth with stunning projections featuring footage from Asili’s award-winning documentaries and music videos. The result is a breathtaking tapestry of sound\, movement\, and imagery that demands our attention and stirs our collective imagination.
