"Esperanto" (presented by the Millpond.Live art & music festival):
A free, all ages evening of entertainment uniting musicians - including Rebel Diaz, Salsa Train Orquestra, A2VT and Super Yamba Band - from four continents, in a blend of Afrobeat rhythms, psychedelic funk, hip hop, and Afro-Cuban Salsa.
This multimedia workshop led by Rebel Diaz will focus on the historical and current connections between community activism and Hip Hop culture. By looking at historical examples of community organizing through Hip-Hop, as well as music, videos, and pictures, we will explore the notion of community self-determination inherent in Hip-Hop, and how this essence can be reclaimed in the context of today’s corporate rap music industry.
