NINA is a tribute by the multi-award-winning American soprano and performer Claron McFadden, to the life of Eunice Kathleen Waymon; the singer, pianist, writer, and civil rights activist, widely recognized by most as Nina Simone.

We delve into her intimate world, exploring her political thoughts, the wounds of her later years, her anger, pain, energy, and bitterness. This journey incorporates musical reconstructions of her songs and draws from radio and television fragments of interviews and public speeches. Seamlessly transitioning from direct audience engagement to suspended moments of pure music.
