Episode 7 - Letitia Bullard and Nathan Leitão: Magia

This episode features a conversation with Letitia Bullard and Nathan Leitão about their new musical, Magia.

With book, music, and lyrics by Letitia Bullard and Nathan Leitão, Magia (magic) follows Leilani, a teen girl who attempts to save her ailing father by stealing a wish from the magical island, Tekoha. With a Latin-Caribbean fusion score, Magia asks the question “What is real magic and how can we access it in a society that accepts the status quo?” Magia is a welcoming celebration of Afro-Latino-Caribbean culture and experiences in an imaginative fantasy musical with spices from the countries that represent the writers: The Bahamas and Brazil.

This episode features demo recordings of the songs “Mama, Tell Me” performed by Letitia Bullard, Nathan Leitão, and Tamieyah Johnson and “Mangoes” performed by Letitia Bullard and Nathan Leitão.
