Yonder Come Day // FunikiJam // off Broadway cast// rehearsal video

“Perfect celebration of Black History through performance” TimeOut NY

‘FUNIKIJAM’S CITY OF HOPE’ at Actors Temple Theater is a journey as much through time as to fascinating places. Presented by FunikiJam World Music, which offers both classes and entertainment to family audiences, “City of Hope” honors Black History by illustrating how African sounds and rhythms have influenced a variety of musical styles. Led by the songwriter Brian Barrentine and his cast, here rehearsing "Yonder Come Day" a traditional American work song*, young audience members — the recommended ages are 2 to 10 — explore Zydeco in New Orleans, Jazz in Paris and Motown in Detroit.

*In traditional cultures around the world, work is often accompanied by song and that’s why we call them “work songs.” Work-songs can either be songs about work or songs that are sung while working - like Yonder Come Day.
