The title Fanmi Imèn is Haitian Creole for Maya Angelouââ¬â¢s famous work, Human Family. Both the musical and literary poems acknowledge differences within mankind due to ethnicity, background, and geography, but Angelouââ¬â¢s refrain: ââ¬Åwe are more alike, my friends, than we are unalikeââ¬Â, reaffirms our humanity as a reminder of unity. Colemanââ¬â¢s work draws inspiration from French flute music blended with an underlying pentatonicism found in Asian traditions, a caravan through Middle Eastern parts of the world merging with Flamenco, and an upbeat journey southward into Africa with the sounds of Kalimba (thumb piano). Fanmi Imèn was commissioned by the National Flute Association for its 2018 High School Soloist Competition.
