Dessa, "The Man I Knew" | Live Performance

Dessa takes the stage with Heiruspecs bassist Sean McPherson, vocalists Mankwe Ndosi and Aby Wolf, drummer J.T. Bates and others, for her latest flamenco-inspired tour de force, "The Man I Knew" at the Cedar Cultural Center

Writer, rapper, singer, and member of the hip-hop collective Doomtree, Dessa is a musical force to be reckoned with. Her poetic lyrics and verbal agility have put her on top-ten lists across the country. Robert Christgau, the "Dean of American Rock Critics" compared her to "an old-fashioned high-quality singer-songwriter like Joni Mitchell or Rosanne Cash -- just one who's decided that hip-hop beats, tolerantly and inclusively conceived, are a modern lyricist's most effective delivery system".
