Strives to create balance.Searches for world peace~Now the official version~Ngoma is a performance poet, multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and paradigm shifter, who for over 40 years has used culture as a tool to raise sociopolitical and spiritual consciousness through work that encourages critical thought. A former member of the SPIRIT HOUSE MOVERS AND PLAYERS with Amiri Baraka and the Contemporary Freedom Song Duo, SERIOUS BIZNESS, Ngoma weaves poetry and song that raises contradictions and searches for a solution for a just and peaceful world. Ngoma was the Prop Slam winner of the 1997 National Poetry Slam Competition in Middletown, CT and was published in AFRICAN VOICES MAGAZINE, LONG SHOT ANTHOLOGY, THE UNDERWOOD REVIEW, SIGNIFYIN' HARLEM REVIEW and 'BUM RUSH THE PAGE/DEF POETRY JAM ANTHOLOGY&POEMS ON THE ROAD TO PEACE (Volumes 1,2&3)-Yale Press.He was featured in the PBS Spoken Word Documentary, "The Apro-Poets" with Allen Ginsberg.

His CD Movie Documentary "Ngoma: Alive and In Your Face from NYC", takes Jazz/Funk/Fusion and the Spoken Word to the next level. His CDs "Didgitation: Solo Didgeridoo Musik for Meditation" and "Ancient Future Meditational Musik" are must haves for those interested in altered states of consciousness. His latest CD "Reflections" (1964-2006) pays tribute to some of the activist and cultural workers whose shining example served as a beacon for his work as an artist. This body of work is a juxtaposition of contemporary improvisations on traditional freedom songs, poetry, and a few original pieces that tell stories for todays troubled times. They are intended as brain food to feed your mind as we struggle for a just and peaceful world. Thanks for joining me. Fasten your seat belts. I hope you enjoy the excursion.
