Books & Rhymes invites author Mükoma wa Ngügï to pair his lyrical novel Unbury Our Dead With Song to music for a live London audience at Libreria

Live in London, author Mükoma wa Ngügï will be conversing about his groundbreaking, lyrical ode to music, beauty and imagination: Unbury Our Dead With Song. In conversation with chart-topping podcast Books and Rhymes, Mükoma will be invited to pair his book to music while discussing the journey to bringing this book to life.

Unbury Our Dead With Song is a novel blending Kenyan and Ethiopian culture and honouring Tizita; also known as Ethiopian Blues that has been likened by critics to James Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues” and Toni Morrison’s “Jazz” in the way that the writing carries the cadence of the music that drives the action.
