MY ROCKSTARS EXPERIMENTAL LIVE - FORD THEATER
Co Curated and produced by Kamilla Blanche. This live performance installation by Hassan Hajjaj of My Rock Stars Experimental includes six performances by a diverse array of international musicians. Styled by the artist, including fashion that he has designed himself, Hassan’s chosen “Rock Stars” will perform his projected installation of the famous My Rock Stars series live on stage for the first time, in front of a backdrop of textiles that recreates the unique framing of his portraits. My Rock Stars Experimental – Live includes performances by Afrikan Boy, a grime MC based in London and originally from Nigeria; contemporary African acoustic jazz-folk-soul singer-songwriter Bumi, whose sound is inspired by her multicultural heritage; artists, musicians, and sisters Abimaro & Lakwena; Simo Lagnawi The Gnawa Berber (Riverboat), a Moroccan Berber now settled in the UK who is steeped in the Gnawa trance music of north Africa; and Marques Toliver, a songwriter, producer, violinist, and vocalist from Daytona Beach, Florida.
