Beats of a Revoltion COVEROkayafrica pointed us at these poetic works and Apple Juice Kid beats, inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt:
Poetic Portraits of a Revolution is a work produced by the Academy Award-winning documentary film organization Empowerment Project, who “sent three poets and a photographer/videographer to Egypt and Tunisia in the summer of 2011 to document people’s stories about the popular uprisings in both countries through their art.”The project is presented in three forms: a theatrical performance, a poetic album featuring verses from Kane Smego, Will Mcinerney and Mohammad Moussa, as well as a collection of original beats by Apple Juice Kid (previous producer for Wale, Mos Def, Camp Lo).
North Carolina: the theatrical performance of Poetic Portraits of a Revolution is debuting this week at the Carrboro Arts Center, catch it there and on its national tour this fall!
