This evening of Song Salon features KAMAUU, whose work moves at the intersection of music, poetry, and spirit.

Blending hip-hop, soul, and ancestral rhythm, he creates a sound that feels both intimate and expansive - moving between reflection and release. Through performance and conversation, this evening invites audiences into an exploration of presence, connection, and transformation.

About KAMAUU

KAMAUU is an LA- and Maryland-based artist, poet, and sonic visionary whose work exists at the intersection of spirit and sound. Blending hip-hop, soul, and ancestral rhythm, he creates music that feels both intimate and transcendent - a call to higher self and community.

His latest project, The Romantic Spirituals, is a collection of prayers, love notes, and conversations with The Creator and The Ancestors, pairing lush harmonies with meditative lyricism. With roots in the DMV and a voice shaped by African, Turtle Island, and global traditions, KAMAUU continues to expand what modern soul can mean - sacred, sensual, and deeply alive.

About 651 ARTS

Since its founding in 1988, 651 ARTS has become a trusted convener of contemporary African Diasporic artistic expression, a champion and nurturer for emerging artists and their work and a vital cultural resource for its surrounding community. As it moves forward, part of 651 ARTS’ mission is to preserve the legacy of Black culture in Brooklyn, celebrate the eclecticism of Black performance and to pioneer new visions of African Diaspora artists. This year is integral for the institution as it continues to lay the framework that will further help to reinforce 651 ARTS’ role as a leader of African Diasporic culture while also establishing it an incubator for artistic innovation in the 21st century.
