Two of NYC’s most acclaimed spoken word poet/activists of different generations, born and raised in the Bronx, come together for an inspirational evening of rap, hip-hop, and more. Caridad De La Luz has been hailed as a “juggernaut” by the New York Times for her off-Broadway musical Boogie Rican Boulevard in addition to raves for her recordings. A favorite of Hostos audiences for her role in “Momma’s Hip Hop Kitchen,” NeNe Ali made her Apollo debut at the age of 11 and has performed her strikingly original work all over the City. They are joined by Pregones resident composer Desmar Guevara and DJ DP One, one of New York’s leading deejay artists for one unforgettable event in the Boogie–Down.
