From Dr. Mark Villacorta at the University of Michigan:
On Thursday, October 30, Paul Flores, Julio Cardenas and Tanya Orellana brought ¡Representa! to the University of Michigan. They performed to a capacity crowd full of students, faculty, staff and community members.
One of the most special things about the event was that it would not have happened without financial and logistical help of several incredible people, including Jeff Kass, Vanessa Diaz, Professor Ruth Behar and of course, the good people at Campus Progress. Seven other departments and offices also supported the event, which was the final program for Hispanic Heritage Month 2008.
The audience responded with cheers, laughter and applause as Paul and Julio told their bilingual tale about Cuban Hip Hop, struggle, friendship and community.
The program embodied the true spirit of independent Hip Hop, roots that often get lost underneath today’s commercialized, hypersexualized and ultraviolent landscape that dominates the culture today.
We were honored to host such an original and inspiring event and we are most grateful to everyone at Campus Progress for making it happen… best wishes to all for 2009 and beyond.
