to
For the first time in New York’s storied musical history, New York-Tokyo Communications pair up to deliver a free, all-day music festival showcasing the most inspired artistic talent from both the East and the West.
This year’s festival focuses on artists that are currently breaking new ground in emerging musical subgenres ranging from Turntablism to Dancehall, Hip-hop and Progressive Jazz.
It will establish a cultural and creative bridge between the U.S. and Japan, centered around the universal language of music provided by PE’Z (Best of Progressive Jazz), MIGHTY CROWN (Best of Dancehall Reggae), and HIFANA (Best of Nu-Skool Breaks) from Japan, and top turntablist DJ A-TRAK and Hip Hop prodigy TALIB KWELI from the United States.
