American Utopia on The Late Show

This week, David Byrne and the cast of his 2019 stage concert American Utopia made a return visit to The Late Show studio at the Ed Sullivan Theater. This time, they performed the nonsense song “I Zimbra,” derived from the 1916 phonetic poem “Gadji beri bimba” by German writer and Dada co-founder Hugo Ball. The production made its Broadway return to the St. James Theatre on October 17, after receiving a special Tony Award the previous month, and is scheduled to run through March 6, 2022. The cast once again includes David Byrne (guitar), Jacquelene Acevedo (percussion), Gustavo Di Dalva (percussion), Daniel Freedman (percussion), Chris Giarmo (vocals), Tim Keiper (percussion), Tendayi Kuumba (vocals), Karl Mansfield (keyboard), Mauro Refosco (percussion), Stéphane San Juan (percussion), Angie Swan (guitar), and Bobby Wooten III (bass).
