Bize türkülerimizi söyletmiyorlar Robeson, kartal kanatlı kanaryam, inci dişli zenci kardeşim, türkülerimizi söyletmiyorlar bize. Korkuyorlar Robeson, şafaktan korkuyorlar, görmekten, duymaktan, dokunmaktan korkuyorlar, yağmurda çırılçıplak yıkanır gibi ağlamaktan, sımsıkı bir ayvayı dişler gibi gülmekten korkuyorlar, sevmekten korkuyorlar, bizim Ferhad gibi sevmekten, (sizin de bir Ferhadınız vardır elbet Robeson, adı ne?) tohumdan ve topraktan korkuyorlar, akan sudan ve hatırlamaktan korkuyorlar, ne iskonto, ne komisyon, ne vâde isteyen bir dost eli sıcak bir kuş gibi gelip konmamış ki avuçlarının içine, ümitten korkuyorlar Robeson, ümitten korkuyorlar, ümitten, korkuyorlar, kartal kanatlı kanaryam, türkülerimizden korkuyorlar Robeson. - Nâzım Hikmet, Korku (Yatar Bursa Kalesinde) * * * “Her şey çok güzel olacak!”

I sometimes become so consumed in the travails of my own heart that I neglect yours...

"The performances are nothing short of thrillingly transcendent," Los Angeles Times classical music critic Mark Swed writes of Julia Bullock and Davóne Tines in an article titled "Julia Bullock and Davone Tines, both 37, reinvent the old song recital for a new generation." You can read it here.

DAVÓNE TINES & THE TRUTH’s new work ROBESON, which premiered this summer at NYC’s Little Island, is out now. You can get it and hear it here.

In ROBESON, Tines’ solo recording debut, the musician grapples with the legacy of a hero. Exploding the musical repertoire of Paul Robeson, Tines and his band the Truth—pianist John Bitoy and sound artist Khari Lucas—take listeners on a trip from the stage of Carnegie Hall to the floor of a Moscow hotel room in an attempt to understand an icon not through aspiring to his monumentality, but through connecting to his vulnerability. Davóne Tines & The Truth will perform from ROBESON in LA, Chicago, Brussels, and London in the weeks and months ahead.
