Event

¡Arriba Diosa!

A profound, positive and powerful celebration of the divine feminine, creativity and community featuring performances by a diverse selection of New Mexico women hip hop artists. The show is headlined by Asliani, a spiritual feminine emcee whose words ring out with a message of transformative possibility and empowerment. She connects deeply with listeners' souls and hearts through the medium of her verses, giving honest and compassionate voice to many of the deeper processes in which we are engaged both individually and collectively at this time. August March of The Alibi (Albuquerque, NM) named her work a "revolutionary antidote to hip hop's misogynistic and materialistic failures." The line-up also includes thespiritual sounds of Albuquerque emcee P.Rose, the firey and dynamic rhymes of Albuquerque power duo Katrina Benally and LetsjusB, as well as live looping and harmonic, electronic praise from Santa Fe's Esme Olivia. DJ 22 (Albuquerque) will bring a fresh mix of house, soul, and funk and women's hip hop music from around the world. Following the performances, everyone will have a chance to take turn on the mic in a community cypher open to all genders with fresh beats provided by DJ Ride. A unique opportunity to come together and express, get down with our bad selves, and connect with one another in the name of healing, empowerment and community.
