South Central-native Jimetta Rose is a self-described “singer, writer, and visionary.” In the same 2021 profile for VoyageLA, Rose continues: “I specialize in crafting emotion, melody, and language. I am most proud of creating my choir Voices of Creation, a safe space for people to sing songs together that heal.”

This is unquestionably music for healing, and raising hands to, and dancing in the aisles to, and delivering a standing ovation for (all of which happened during today’s performance). This is soul music in the deepest sense of the word — equally as inspired by church choirs as it is by spiritual jazz luminaries like Sun Ra and and Pharaoh Sanders.
