FREE Imagine Africa Community Night
Hip Hop Artists Imagine Africa with the Penn Museum

In January, six local Hip Hop artists visiting the Imagine Africa with the Penn Museum gallery project were asked how they imagine Africa. At this community night, those artists return to the Museum to share an evening of original verses, inspired by the art and artifacts that they experienced. The event features live performances by local Hip Hop artists GodHead The General, Magnum O, Darian The Great, The KNomadz, Afloe and Urban Shamans, along with DJ Soul Buck and host i-be 4evr, as they showcase their original songs inspired by the Imagine Africa gallery project and the African collection at the Penn Museum. Visitors also receive a free Imagine Africa compilation CD, created just for the night, while supplies last! This Imagine Africa free community night is co-sponsored by the Monday night indie and classic hip hop radio show the IIourshow/THORTakeover, LLC on WNJC 1360AM.
