Matana Roberts at Roulette

Nov. 11. 8PM. $20-$30.

It’s hard to know exactly how to describe the COIN COIN project by Matana Roberts. The award-winning Roberts is a sax player and sound artist, and their magnum opus is a blend of music, storytelling, and history, currently released in five volumes. COIN COIN traces Roberts’ own family history, back to their enslaved ancestors in the 19th century, and uses those tales to tell wider stories about America’s complicated history and the persistence of memory. Matana Roberts plays a solo show on Nov. 11 at Roulette.
