An Evening of Kuumba with Danielle Ponder
In celebration of Watch Night and Kuumba (Creativity) the sixth principal of Kwanzaa, NMAAHC will be broadcasting a replay of this moving concert from The FORWARD Conference, that took place in early November. Often identified as a soul singer, Danielle Ponder’s versatile music is infused with bits of gospel, trip-hop, blues, R&B, and alt rock. A former public defender from Rochester, New York, the singer/songwriter spent years playing music on the side before doubling down on her music career in the late 2010s. It was an unusual path to success, but one that allowed her to develop a unique sound full of depth and command. Ponder released her debut album, Some of Us Are Brave, in 2022.
