9TH ANNUAL KOLLABORATION
This Saturday in LA there’s this dope concert you shouldn’t miss out on. The 9th Annual Kollaboration at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Kollaboration has been showcasing many up and coming artists in the Asian Pacific Islander (API) American community (gotta be PC). If you have never heard of Kollaboration, you should definitely take a peek. Performs like songwriter Jane Lui, hip hop violinist Paul Dateh, songwriter David Choi, four-sista pop group Jazmin, and my new fav songwriter Kina Grannis will be performing. Along with special guest performances by Kaba Modern and Fanny Pak. You go API! And also International Superstar BOA. We’ve never heard of you, but you must be badass with a name like that.
Here’s Paul Dateh going crazzzzy!
And here’s Kina Grannis. Her voice is dope! Her original songs are tight too but we have to first sell you on this one.
This is a note from Kollaboration about the event:
“One of the biggest knocks on Asian Americans is that we don’t support each other in the entertainment industry. We harshly judge our own entertainers for either being too white, too black, and if you can believe it, too Asian. Kollaboration is a platform where young Asian Americans can perform in front of a live crowd. This show will open the minds of those who don’t give Asian Americans a chance when it comes to expressing themselves creatively. And hopefully, through it, we can witness a new type of Asian American artform we can claim as our own.”
Here’s Kollaboration’s video for the event. I mean seriously, just watching this video, seeing and hearing the talent, should sell you instantly. BOOM! Tickets here. Who wants to go?
