Translating Hip Hop is about the content of Hip Hop. As part of a series of workshops in Columbia, the Philippines, Lebanon, Germany and Kenya, selected lyrics are translated into the languages of the participating rappers. Based on these lyrics, the participants draft different versions of the same songs in their own language.
Invited guests are Anne Kahn and Mad Maxamon from Berlin, La Melanina from Bogota, Restly Perez from Manila and Malikah from Beirut.

The Kenyan artists MC Kah and Nazizi will be the steady participants of the project and in Nairobi they will be backed by MCs like Octopizzo, Lness, Moroko, Wanjiku Mwaurah, Big Mic and Sharama.

The highlight of the Nairobi module will be the concert moderated by Buddha Blaze, where all musicians perform their songs on stage, together with DJ Steel and DJ Zaq.

Musical Open Mic Night: Mar. 7 2011 @ Kengeles, Lavington

by with No Comment concertsOpen Mic


Musical Open Mic Night is an event where musicians come together to share tunes, skills and just jam. The idea is to keep it as relaxed and informal as possible, but if turns out we have throngs of performers, then time on the mic will be rationed.

One acoustic and one electric guitar will be provided, along with two amplifiers. Hopefully a small mic and PA will be available as well. Feel free to bring your own instruments also (bongos, vibraphone, kazoo).

Bring an instrument or just yourself. Perform or simply enjoy. The more the merrier!

when: Monday, March 7 · 7:00pm – 11:30pm
where: Kengeles, Lavington
