| Guitarist Yasmin Williams by Amr Alfiky/New York Times |
In three weeks, my wife and I will be attending the True/False documentary film festival in Columbia, Missouri. It is the most fun and most enlightening weekend event we attend each year. The entire downtown becomes a celebration as filmmakers visit from around the world to screen their films and answer audience questions.
While the films are amazing, some of my favorite parts are the musicians who play before each screening. They are always an eclectic and enthusiastic group of young, not quite famous yet, artists with a variety of new and unique approaches to sound.
Last year, and the year before, we greatly enjoyed listening to Yasmin Williams. She plays solo guitar expressively in a style which combines elements of folk, flamenco, and classical guitar. Words don't do the music justice, so watch the video.
Yasmin won't be playing at True/False this year. We are hoping to discover some other new talents that we will enjoy just as much.
