Rhiannon Giddens, Francesco Turrisi Perform From US Ambassador's Residence In Dublin For 'Other Voices'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi performed live from the US Ambassador's Residence in Dublin last month as part of the Other Voices special Dignity: Towards a More Equitable Future. For the event, a celebration of shared musical culture between the US and Ireland, Giddens and Turrisi performed "Calling Me Home" and "I Shall Not Be Moved," from their 2021 Grammy Award-winning album, They're Calling Me Home; "Build a House," a new recording of which, with Yo-Yo Ma, they recently released and which inspired her new children's book of the same name; and Paul Simon's "American Tune," which Giddens performed with Simon at the Newport Folk Festival earlier this year, for which he changed two lines of the lyrics for her to sing. You can watch the full show as well as the standalone performances of "American Tune," featuring Irish fiddler Martin Hayes, and "I Shall Not Be Moved" at Top40-Charts.com
