Warm on the Coolin' Board Songbook - Volume 1

Shawn Wallace and Shepsu Aakhu began a journey together with Warm on the Coolin’ Board. Central to that journey was building the sound for the souls at the center of our story. Coolin’ Board is not a traditional musical, nor is it simply “a play with music.” Coolin’ Board is a spiritual for modern times. Through two productions, Shawn and Shepsu have lived in the collective trauma at the core of this story, and our need for communion. In volume one of this songbook, we look at Atabé… the opening to our play and our introduction to the world of souls.
