San Francisco, CA – Join the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association, partner of San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, for a free virtual music concert of maritime songs rooted in the art, history, and culture of the African diaspora and West African heritage.
Ron and Natalie Daise, from South Carolina, are writers, actors, educators, and internationally renowned TV performers. They have presented storytelling, music, history, and lectures about Gullah heritage, faith, and creativity at museums, theaters, conferences, and educational institutions across the country. From 1994-1998 Ron and Natalie Daise starred in Nick Jr.’s award-winning “Gullah Gullah Island.” They were nominees for two NAACP Image Awards and a Daytime Emmy Award. Ron and Natalie are recipients of the South Carolina Order of the Palmetto, the state’s highest honor, and a State of Carolina Folk Heritage Award, given for lifetime achievement and excellence in folk art that has enriched the lives of people in their community and state.
Ron and Natalie have performed with local San Francisco chantey singers and musicians at venues including Festival of the Sea on Hyde Street Pier, Mystic Seaport Music Festival, and just last year, a virtual sea concert celebrating Black History Month hosted by the park and Association. They are delighted to be performing again for this year’s virtual concert!
