ROCK A MOLE 10
ROCK A MOLE 10:
Common Roots, Common Dreams
A celebration of the commonality of Black and Mexican culture and history
Music/Poetry/Dance/Theater
An evening of entertainment and inspiration that will take us on a journey through Life, Death, and Transformation.
This event will include:
New music jointly written and performed by a jazz band (Ten East) and a traditional Mexican band (La Santa Cecilia)
DJs breaking down the links, the spaces, and the beats
A short play, The First Embrace, that depicts Mexico’s embrace of fugitive slaves despite enormous pressure from the U.S. government
A beatbox chorus that will accompany both breakdancers and traditional Mexican dancers
The world premiere of a new poem by Mike the Poet which celebrates the ongoing synergy between Black and Mexican culture
A killer house band, including Fre Ballesteros of the Boxing Gandhis on sax and Michael Sulcer of the Ray Charles Orchestra on drums. Vocalists will include Ernie Perez; music director is Carvell Holloway.
Poetry will include TamaraBlue, Metaphysic, Sarah Cruse, Busstop Prophet, and Ant Black. There will be a (friendly) poetic battle royale between Luis Rodriguez and Besskepp.
And much, much more! Stay tuned.
