Fostering A Cultural Identity At Camp And Our Song Of The Week, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, Affrilachian writer Norman Jordan was a prominent voice in the Black Arts movement before his death in 2015. From the latest episode of Inside Appalachia, Folkways reporter Traci Phillips visited the Norman Jordan African American Arts and Heritage Academy camp last summer.

And our Song of the Week comes from Stephane Wrembel’s fifth album Origins. He’s joined by Josh Kaye, Ari Folman-Cohen and Nick Anderson performing “Bistro Fada,” which became the theme song for Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar-winning film, Midnight in Paris.
