Master storyteller, Mwalim weaves a vibrant and epic Hip-Hop Jazz folktale about the spirit that dwells within the jazz clubs, art galleries, lounges, performance spaces, and underground dance clubs of New York City.

Our tale begins in 1969, as Black squirrels began to appear in the Bronx; Obatunde Bey -a jazz musician and painter- leaves his desk job at the New York City Parks Department to open an arts academy in his Northeast Bronx neighborhood,‘The Valley’. In this art-house, the spirits of jazz, soul and hip-hop collide, giving birth to an underground arts movement that quietly changed the world.

Land of the Black Squirrels is book one of the BRONX BOHEME  series.
