MuthaWit
MuthaWit is a furiously evolving multi-cultural outfit whose musical performances marry a soulful rock dynamic with free jazz experimentation, classical sensitivity and avant-garde electronics/visuals. Founded in 1989 by nomadic composer, designer and filmmaker Boston Fielder, members of MuthaWit’s 5-24 piece orchestra have worked with Parliament/Funkadelic, Sting, Curtis Mayfield, The Family Stand, Olu Dara, Herbie Hancock, Jay Z and Organized Noize among others. Rejoicing in the intensity of their eclectic musical testimony, MuthaWit lures the listener through an artistic experience that is wildly entertaining and sonically provocative.
