Mexico City: Quilombo’Arte 10th Anniversary Video

Well known Mexican hip hop artist Bocafloja has been a long time collaborator and friend. After many shows and tours together in the US, it was an honor and a privilege to be invited by him to participate in his collective’s (Quilombo’Arte) 10th anniversary in Mexico City. The tour was headlined by Bocafloja himself and Minnesota’s Brother Ali, and also included other crew members and affiliates including Cambiowashere, Mike Reyes, Sacramento Knox, and others.

Over a span of five days, Bocafloja and his crew showed us around Mexico City, introduced us to other artists and activists, took us to the pyramids, to the museums, and more. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Oh, and the concert was super dope as well.
 
Enjoy this short video on the experience!
