THE BROWN RICE FAMILY LIVE
2012 Ultimate Battle Winner’s Concert
Friday, September 7, 2012, 7:00 PM
Tickets: $17.50 Includes complimentary beer or glass of wine; $30 for open beer or wine bar use code "TGSFAMILY" for $5 dollar discount

The 2012 Battle of The Boroughs’ series was one for the records! We began with 524 submissions and narrowed it down to 49 acts with hundreds of artists participating to represent their borough. The incredible diversity of our great city was represented in the varied genres and styles of the performers, in house crowd, and our online audience. In the end, Brooklyn’s own Brown Rice Family prevailed and they were crowned the Ultimate Winner.

Join them in The Greene Space as they perform in celebration of their win in the 2012 Battle of The Boroughs. Brown Rice family will be collaborating with other Battle of the Boroughs participants in celebration of their win at the Ultimate Battle of the Boroughs. They will be performing with Domenica Fossati (Flute) and Peter Patson (Guitar) from Underground System Afrobeat (Brooklyn), Bodoma (Drummer/Singer) from Bodoma Garifuna Cultural Band (Bronx) and Joe Trombino (lead Singer) from The Great Apes (Queens). The band says: “During the Battle of the Boroughs, [Brown Rice Family] discovered many talented musicians with positive energy that we probably wouldn't have met if we hadn't participated, so we decided to collaborate with them at our celebratory event. [Brown Rice Family's] goal is to make a healthy and positive contribution to the arts while continuing to be culturally and musically diverse.”

HipHopSavesLives    HipHopSavesLives   HipHopSavesLives.OrgI'm so proud to be apart of this Non-profit which is bringing Indigenous HipHop into the schools.
On the last day of the "Kids Helping Kids" after school program, Chad Harper the founder of HHSL and NegusWorld got Kool Herc the founder of HipHop,
to come in and talk to the Kerc Kids about HipHop and the real reason on how it started.
Please vote for this petition to Honor Kool Herc
for starting this new culture called HipHop. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kids-Helping-Kids-a-hip-hop-experience/220666248022136http:

Kool Herc founded the international phenomenon called hip hop. It was created to foster peace, respect and unity in his neighborhood.
The culture was to serve as an alternative to gang life that plagued his community, the South Bronx.
Hip hop has been misused by corporate greed to sell Products, promote violence and self worthlessness.
We are here to take back the name Hip Hop reinstate its original purpose and honor its founder Kool Herc
That's why I signed a petition to President Barack Obama, which says:
"Honor Kool Herc for starting the international phenomenon hip hop."
Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Thanks!
