Opera Beatboxing with Nicole Paris and Augusta Reed Thomas

For years, beatboxer Nicole Paris and her dad Ed Cage have awed audiences with their beatboxing battles as Nicole and Popz. Paris recently broke from that duet to take on a feat of her own: beatboxing in an opera with the help of Chicago composer, Augusta Reed Thomas. The two share how they came together for “Sweet Potato Kicks the Sun,“ in this #PBS #WTTW #ChicagoTonight segment.
