Poem by Ty Gray-El "A Black Womans smile"

Moving poem with some disturbing images of slavery in the US.

Contains an evocative backing track using drone and minor tonality but no harmonic changes ie uses one chord all the way through. It uses simple musical techniques to achieve an intense emotional effect.
