D'Lo
D’Lo is described as a jolt of creative and comedic energy.Your ticket
allows you to be an honorary Sri Lankan, transgender, vegetarian
performance artist, or at least watch hip-hop artist D’Lo weave personal
stories through poetry, music, comedy and video. D’Lo presents a parade
of characters, real and imaginary sharing their stories — exploring
contradictions of existing in America where one’s immigrant traditions
and culture are constantly challenged; battling against ignorance, even
in friendships and relationships; and finally, reflecting upon stories
of love that show D’Lo’s belief that “you can’t call yourself a
revolutionary if you have a problem being nice.” D'Lo Web site
Soul speech is all local hip-hop artist Militant Child claims. Heavily influenced by the Black Baptist tradition, she is a self described blaspheme and militant – no white jesus, no hetero, and no snitchin. She rocks her unique brand of hip hop and poetry, popping with freedom beats up and down the West Coast. Militant Child does her thing!
