YGB VIDEO GALLERY

Young Gifted and Black has been performing in and around the Bay Area for the past 10 years. We have served over 200 young people in that time, and performed thousands of times in the cities of Northern California including Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, Sacramento, Richmond, …etc. This award winning group is made up of several ensembles throughout the years, the Kids, Black Gold, The Young Black Kings, and the Black Sheroes. Below are a bunch of videos which feature their rehearsals, performances and the brilliance and talent of the young people. Artists featured in these videos include pieces by Mari Evans, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Langston Hughes, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Black Star, Artistic Director Hodari Davis, and a host of others.
