SUMMARY:Old World One-Hit Wonder\, Caribbean Music Influenc
DESCRIPTION:The latest installment of the comedic documentary series\, “Sto
 ries” explores underrepresented works of the first women composers. DALLAS
  - When not singing the praises of God\, Teodora Ginés\, a former slave tu
 rned church musician\, would sneak out to provide music at parties to the
  extent the Church authorities allowed... or knew about. With a musician s
 hortage in the New World\, she was able to make her mark on Caribbean musi
 c as it is known today. However\, there is little evidence surrounding the
  details of her life and work. This documentary\, modeled after the 1990’s
  television show Unsolved Mysteries\, explores the various possibilities t
 hat might explain this unlikely success story. Dallas\, Texas soprano Eric
 a Vernice Simmons portrays Teodora Ginés and performs her iconic work “Son
  de la Má Teodora”. She is joined by Lewisville\, Texas actress\, Raven Th
 urman\, who plays her sister Micaela. Simmons commented\, “Teodora’s piece
  sounds like a vacation at the beach. Who would imagine that music from 15
 62 could be so much fun?” Phillip Thompson\, new to Lumedia’s Stories\, na
 rrates the documentary in the style of Unsolved Mysteries’ Robert Thack. J
 oining the Lumedia Stories team are art historian R. Jenai Talkington\, sc
 reenwriter Douglas Bankston\, and musicologist Billy Traylor. Artistic Dir
 ector Julianna Emanski directed and edited the film. On February 3\, 2023\
 , Stories: Teodora Ginés will be available to watch at no cost through the
