THE ARTISTS...
Welfare Poets:
The Welfare Poets are a collective of activists, educators, and artists together since 1990. Through teaching residencies and workshops, through activism around community struggles and through sharp-edged performances of music that incorporates Hip Hop, Bomba y Plena, Latin Jazz and other rhythms, the Welfare Poets bring information and inspiration to those facing oppression and those fighting for liberation.
Pa'lo Monte:
Pa' Lo Monte is a musical ensemble that performs the traditional rhythms and melodies of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. We are keeping alive the musical styles of palo, salve, gag•, congo and sarandunga, rhythms that have been passed down to us from our ancestors. We honor and celebrate the history and culture of resistance of our ancestors against the horrors of slavery, a history of colonial oppression, and the current domination of the Dominican Republic and Haiti by wealthy Northern countries.
& Arelis Figeroa & Juaquim Maria, Paul Hernandez, Guillermo Cardenas & possibly others
