ALL Robeson is a project celebrating the artistic and humanitarian vision of activist, singer, scholar, actor, and athlete - Paul Robeson. The project began when musician Osei Essed and artist Tim Fite realized they had a shared interest in the music and work of Paul Robeson. Together, Essed and Fite began choosing songs from Robeson’s catalog, and inviting their friends to record interpretations these songs. During this process, it became clear that the themes of civil rights, workers rights, and human rights were as important today as they were when Robeson was singing himself. This is the third song from ALL Robeson: Scandalize my Name, featuring vocals by YATTA . Arrangement and art by Tim Fite, textures, strings and some voices by Osei.
