Earlier this year, Har Mar Superstar (aka Sean Tillmann) was accused of cultural appropriation by producer/composer Afrokeys for doing a touring Sam Cooke tribute show. The two musicians battled it out over Twitter at first, but later they met face to face and “[their] discussion was incredibly enlightening,” said Har Mar. As a result, Har Mar has decided to donate $4,000 of the proceeds from the Sam Cooke tributes to organizations “that will foster education and music opportunities within the African American community,” and he also launched a GoFundMe to “hopefully match (triple? quadruple?)” his donation.
