Regina Carter's career has been a veritable crescendo of success that shows no sign of letting up. She is on a mission: to make a meaningful musical contribution and do it on her own terms. Indeed, she tours with relentless purpose and a seemingly endless supply of energy. Over the past four years, Ms. Carter and her quintet have brought audiences to their feet with exhilarating performances worldwide. Ms Carter was recently named a MacArthur Fellow for 2006 and will receive the prestigious “genius award” as announced by the John D. and Cathrine T. MacArthur Foundation. Regina Carter¹s “Reverse Thread” project includes violin, kora, accordion, bass and drums. “Reverse Thread” consists of music from the African Diaspora. It will include music from Mali, Senegal and other areas, some traditional pieces from the Jews living in Uganda and a piece by Ayub Ogada (from the movie ³The Constant Gardener²) as well as some original material and earlier repertoire.
