Olivier Award winning star of the West End production of Hamilton Giles Terera brings his exciting song cycle to audiences around the world, now streaming on demand on BroadwayHD.

During lockdown in Summer 2021, Terera watched London life in its new and quiet form and wrote 12 songs, capturing what he felt and saw unfold around him. Simple and soulful, Black Matter sees Terera alone on the stage, accompanying his own singing on either piano or guitar.  His songs tell of protest, joy, anger and love. 

Terera said: “I live in Soho, London. I was there throughout last summer. I saw Soho shift  from deserted tranquillity, where the only sounds were birds and church bells to the noise and  heat of demands for social justice and civil unrest. I saw couples and families sneaking bike rides  and I saw violence – protests and peacemakers, homelessness and empty properties. People  helping each other and people hurting each other. I saw confusion and hope and strength. I found myself taking my guitar and writing about what I was seeing and feeling and thinking. I ended up writing a collection of songs and my aim was to respond immediately to what I was  experiencing. I wanted to answer the question: how do we communicate in this atmosphere?  How do we find love and balance and strength?”
