"I think the idea is now for blacks to write
about the history of our music. It's time for
that, because whites have been doing it all
the time. It's time for us to do it ourselves
and tell it like it is."
—Dizzy Gillespie
Award-winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank is
known for ardently exploring her multicultural
identity (her mother is of mixed Peruvian/Chinese
ancestry; her father is of Lithuanian/Jewish descent)
through her music. She credits her mentor, William
Bolcom, with urging her to travel to South America
and incorporate its music into her compositions.
