World Up Mixtape! - January 6th!

January 6th:

World Up Benefit Party and PreRelease Party for the first World Up mixtape! The Party will benefit World Up and help us with raising money for our festival and educational programming in 2007. It will also be a chance to celebrate the release of the first World Up mixtape which will have a January release. Holding things down for the Party and the DJ behind the mixtape, will be our good friend Dj Maga Bo, a DJ/Producer based in Brazil. Maga Bo has collaborated with MCs and musicians from all over the globe and is fantastic example of how people all over the world are redefining Hip-Hop for themselves. While heavily influenced by Brazil, he has worked and recorded in Senegal, Morocco, South Africa, and India (to name a few) and is sure to blow some minds with his mix.
