Summer at the MOCAD Homestead series: Raphael Saadiq and Tunde Olaniran

If the name Raphael Saadiq doesn’t strike an immediate chord it’s probably because he has become synonymous with his multi-platinum R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné! Saadiq is regarded as one of the preeminent R&B artists of the ‘90s, having produced songs for D’Angelo, TLC, and John Legend (to name a few). Just last year, Saadiq teamed up with Mary J. Blige for the song “Mighty River” from the film Mudbound, for which they received an Academy Award nomination for best original song. In a special performance for MOCAD, Saadiq will share the stage with Flint-based artist and activist Tunde Olaniran.
