Wow! whiteness and theft does display a complete lack of creativity and sensitivity, shown at a jazz festival. The caucasity. It would have been interesting to me if they took the original SLĀV, as in the show's title, to highlight the music and genius that came out of enslaving Central, Eastern, Southeast Europeans for centuries and performed that somewhere else.

I'm glad protesting shut that mess down.
