“OUR WORD IS OUR WEAPON”
Breaking News!!
Magamba now has a partnership with The Lounge, Bulawayo’s premier spoken word event. So each month will alternate between having artists from The Lounge at Mashoko and vice versa. Through the exchange we aim to strengthen the two cities’ radical minds and to inspire new, cutting edge poetry. Coz our words are our only weapons, comrades!
Estillo Hip-Hop at The Maysles
August 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment
ESTILO HIP HOP chronicles the lives of Eli Efi, Guerrillero Okulto, and Magia, three hip hop activists from Brazil, Chile and Cuba who firmly believe that hip hop can change the world. These three inspirational leaders mobilize young people to become politically active. However as the stakes assume greater risks, the leaders are faced with challenges and have to make life-altering decisions that ultimately impact the course of their lives and of the hip hop movement.
