“On a mission to reclaim the immigrant soul of American Roots Music…”
American Roots Music encompasses Indigenous American music (chanting, drumming, and flutes), Tejano, gospel, blues, jazz, R&B, soul, funk, zydeco, bluegrass, and country music, to name a few. Music uniquely can unite people, transcend boundaries, and celebrate diversity. The American Patchwork Quartet is a remarkable example of how music can become a vehicle for understanding and promoting harmony in a diverse society.
This quartet is an ensemble of exceptionally talented musicians from different cultural backgrounds, representing the diverse tapestry of America. New York City-based American Patchwork Quartet (APQ) includes Grammy-winning vocalist Falu Shah, two-time Grammy-winning guitarist/vocalist Clay Ross, three-time Grammy-winning drummer Clarence Penn, and Grammy-nominated bassist Yasushi Nakamura.
