Elsie Houston: Revolutionary Soprano
Osei, Adjoa (Research Fellow of History of Race, Research Fellow of History of Race, Trinity College, University of Cambridge)
This new biography traces the fascinating life and work of Elsie Houston, a Brazilian, mixed-race, classically trained soprano who captured the 1920s and 1930s Western artistic vogue for black exotica by restylizing Afro-Brazilian folk songs on elite stages in Paris and New York.
