On Saturday, February 20, record company Nomadic Wax is hosting “A Night of African Hip-Hop Film, Conversation and Live Music featuring Meta and the Cornerstones” at the 92Y Tribeca. The evening opens with a screening of the film “FangAfrica,” which chronicles the the hip hop festival in Ouagadougou, the capital in Burkina Faso. That’s followed by a panel discussion on the intersection of technology, digital media and its impact on the African Continent (I’m a panelist, btw). A performance by Senegalese-born Meta (above) and the Cornerstones ends the evening.
Hey would love to finally get to meet you men.
take care and see you at the event.
