What do Omaha, Nebraska, Harare, Zimbabwe, and Lisbon, Portugal, have in common?
Yep, you guessed it.
Hip-hop.
Crew Hassan invites you to welcome the new year with what they define as “an event that celebrates Hip-Hop culture from different parts of the world. Far away from commercial music and the new trends that the media love to hammer us with, we aim to bring you a chilled day of music with some international pillars of Hip-Hop and discover what the rest of the world has to offer.”
Many of the acts are first-timers to the Lisbon scene.
Here’s the line-up:
WIZDUM
Loka
Synik
