Manage episode 252970104 series 86765
New episodes are back for 2020! After being recently knocked out by David Byrne's American Utopia on Broadway, I connected with brilliant percussionist Jacquelene Acevedo and asked her to join me on the show to go behind the scenes on this fascinating show.
We talk about everything from how her dance background informed the show's unique choreography, the technical demands of staying mobile while playing, joining the show for Broadway after the world tour, her favorite songs in the set to perform, audience reactions, how the show spreads hope and teaches us to be engaged members of society and which celebrities have dropped in to see the performance.
