Moor Mother

Music and activism go hand in hand for Camae Ayewa aka Moor Mother. In her lyrics as well as in workshops and installations, the American sings, writes and campaigns for social justice and against racism in her home country. As a child of the 1990s, she experienced how hip hop and rap became bigger and more important, but punk and jazz also left their mark, which would later be reflected in her music. 
After various band projects, she launched the solo project Moor Mother in 2012, in which she presents a sound palette that moves between R'n'B and jazz, brutal noise outbursts, but also hip hop and industrial. Whether as Moor Mother or as part of the free jazz quintet Irreversible Entanglements, to which she has lent her voice since 2015, most of her pieces are about one thing above all: the racist reality in the United States and what you can do to raise your voice against injustice.
