Bio
schwartzegeist is sadiq bey in collaboration with musicians on both sides of the atlantic. currently residing and working in Berlin, sadiq has devoted much energy and time to the Sun Ra Tribute project, which pays homage to the poetry of Sun Ra performed with original compositions that are both electric and acoustic. it all began in Detroit in the mid 80's with a live performance on WDET-FM radio.
because sadiq is devoted to the pursuit of delivering the poem in new and exciting ways and the preservation of the poetic station, he has combined his over thirty years as a percussionist, in every imaginable situation, with the exquisite attributes of the spoken word and song. the end result is a fascinating live experience that takes the listener to delightful and mysterious places they hadn't imagined.
Eartha Kitt, Dance Theatre of Harlem and the 5th Dimension are just a few household names found in his musical history.
