RZA x BUA Live at Lincoln Center (NYC):
On Tuesday, July 24, 2018, Wu-Tang Clan founder, composer, and filmmaker RZA kicked off the Live at Lincoln Center summer concert series with an epic audiovisual film experience—a re-score of the Shaw Brothers’ 1978 martial arts classic The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. With its themes of perseverance, transcendence, and brotherhood, the film was a formative influence on Wu-Tang’s aesthetic. Now, weaving together instrumentals and beats from the Wu-Tang discography (and beyond), RZA performs his thrilling new score live, amplifying the film’s powerful narrative and astonishing action from opening sequence to closing credit. After touring this project to sold-out venues in 12 cities, RZA returned to New York City with a special edition crafted performance, specially for his New York hometown fans.
Justin BUA was commissioned to create an original painting to accompany the live performance event.
