This is not a " snap your fingers politely " kind of night.
A RITUAL in disguise, as a poetry night. Its poetry that might hit a nerve and sound that will bridge consciousness in human experience, music and movement that fills the gaps between words.
A room full of a community feeling and vibrating the same or not at the same time, set inside of Youngblood Africa we gather to taste the poetry of being alive infused in VOICE, SOUND BODY & SOUL.
