Dessa January 23, 2011

Writer, rapper, singer and member of hip hop collective Doomtree, DESSA will perform her project 'Laws and Appetites' in collaboration with bassist Sean McPherson, pianist Kahlil Queen, and a flamenco percussionist quartet. The piece uses musical tension, minor keys, and vocal swells and harmonies to focus on the disparity between the ways we ask ourselves to behave and our prevailing inclinations.
