Back in November, Smooch Music released a CD called Caged Bird Songs. The songs contain lyrics that come from Maya Angelou’s poetry. A music video has been released for one of the tracks, “Harlem Hopscotch,” which is based on a poem published back in 1969.
According to The Huffington Post, the video (embedded above) “features appearances by actress and singer Nia Peeples (Fame, Pretty Little Liars), dancer/choreographer Derek Hough, actor Alfonso Ribeiro, actress/singer Zendaya, dancer/choreographer Ian Eastwood, Quest Crew, and dancers from both So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Best Dance Crew.” Billboard.com has posted the entire track listing for this project.
