Heritage — REBECA OMORDIA

🖋️Here’s a post I wrote about African Pianism as a Natural Expression of Heritage: www.rebecaomordia.com/heritage #africanpianism #heritage

🎹 African Pianism🌍
Piano music rooted in African classical & contemporary traditions. Coined by Nigerian composer Akin Euba, expanded by 20th‑century composers of the Schools of African Art Music into a rich, diverse piano repertoire.

African Pianism as exemplified in Igbo music in this Igbo dance for piano by Christian Onyeji from Nigeria, performed with Ogbu oja Gerald Eze at the @africanseries.bsky.social @wigmore-hall.org.uk! #igbomusic #africanpianism

“Raging River” from 24 Studies in African Rhythms by Fred Onovwerosuoke with added percussion! Great working with Moussa Dembele on this project! #africanpianism

« Soirée au Hoggar » from Miniatures Algériennes by Salim Dada, inspired by “Tindi”, a traditional rhythm played by
Tuareg women on a camel-skin drum stretched over a hollowed-out gourd. #algerian #africanpianism #SOMMRecordings

We're big fans of @rebecaomordia.bsky.social and her #AfricanPianism series on SOMM. We're also excited to see Divine Art's own Aisha Syed Castro joining the series.
