Call Mr. Robeson: Tayo Aluko to Perform In SF Sep 5,6&7

by Labor Action Committee To Free Mumia Abu-Jama
Liverpool actor Tayo Aluko will be performing in San Francisco on September 5,6&7 at the Phoenix theater in a benefit for Mumia Abu-Jamal
Tayo Aluko's portrayal of Robeson is spot on. In about an hour you learn everything about Robeson, but this is no dry history lesson, rather a thrilling, moving and marvellously entertaining musical drama. Aluko's singing of Robeson songs like Ol' Man River and Steal Away is totally soulful and convincing – just like this show!" *****

Bill Smith, Latest 7 Magazine (Brighton, UK) Issue 275, 3 – 9 June 2008

What can I say, but "thanks, Bill"!
