Free.Da.Mic takes place each month providing the people an opportunity, through art, to speak out against oppression in African and other oppressed communities while also providing a forum where we can begin to organize for freedom.
This art can be reflected through song, dance, spoken word, hip hop, R&B, reggae or pretty much any preferred vehicle which allows a message to reach the people while showcasing talented artists who unite with the focus to take back what is rightfully ours through education and organization of the community.
Africans have lost control over everything in our lives including our music and musical creation. White people and uncle tom music creators who own record companies control every aspect of our music ensuring that what we hear keeps us oppressed and distracted from our real problems. None of the money made from records sold that are the creations of our people comes back to benefit our communities, instead the money made is helping to build prisons, military complexes and other institutions of oppression.
We understand clearly that white power uses our musical forms as part of the counterinsurgency against African and other oppressed peoples and it is our job to counteract this by enlightening and further educating the people on a political level. We demand community control of everything from the police to the microphone. Our music must be brought entirely under our own control and used as a tool of organization for the total liberation of Africans and all oppressed nations. We are calling out all artists who would like to Xpress themselves! All forms of Xpression welcome! Feb 07 2009 AntiAfrika dub theatre (62 Fraser Avenue) 7pm- 11:30pm. $5 cover charge.
