Hip Hop & Peace Building Festival
Today marks the second day of the first ever annual Hip Hop & Peace Building Festival, in Washington DC. Organizers of the event have created the Hip Hop & Peace Building Festival to unite nations and different cultures through the universal language of Hip Hop. The event began yesterday, April 16th, and will run through to Monday, April 21st.
Hip Hop artists, representing five nations including Haiti, France, Tanzania, Uganda and the United States, have joined forces to increase awareness of political and social turmoil throughout the world. The goal is to promote peace and understanding through the use of words and beats; organizers hope to spread their message globally.
“The core of hip hop lies within the beat, the beat is what you can feel, and it is the element that connects”, says Stacy Willyard Festival Director.
