Event Description

SKIN

Music is found in every known culture, past and present. From the most isolated tribal groups to humans living on the forefront of technology creating syncopated rhythms on their cellphones, music is often the sweetest common denominator. There are calls of the drum that speak to every heartbeat, songs of every passion that are sung into the night. Over music we gather; to celebrate life, to honor our ancestors, honor each other and to revel in the moment. It is here, that we recognize our common bond as a people. Our need to feel free, to move our bodies like a wild prayer and it is here, that we find our healing, and our joy. 

We’ve chosen the finest artists and DJs to take us across continents and diasporas; from the winding rhythms of Nigeria’s Afro-Beat & Highlife to the new sounds rising in South Africa’s House Scene, the Caribbean’s golden collection of Soca, Calypso, Dancehall and Salsa to Brazil’s Samba & Baile Funk...we fuse the tap-tap-tapping of Tahitian drumming with sexy 808 rhythms of Tropical Bass, Northern India’s Bhangra, soulful Hip Hop and jazz à la New York...all married to heavy heavy Afro-Latin rhythms. Summoning the past, present and future - we invite you to journey with us into a space where music becomes our mother, and we find ourselves lovingly back home.
