How did a man born as a slave on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe rub elbows with Mozart, live in Versailles with Marie Antoinette, and become a household name in all of Europe for fencing?
Today we are talking about arguably the most talented man in centuries: Joseph Bologne Chevalier De Saint-George. You may have heard him being called the "Black Mozart" or seen the recent movie Chevalier, but that only covers a sliver of his real story. Today my comedian friend and musician SOURJACK will be helping me tell Joseph's real story.
