Under the slogan ‘Hip Hop for Peace’, more than 70 musicians, DJs, and dancers will gather in workshops and lessons on this genre, its movements, and body expressions, as announced on Tuesday by the event’s organizing committee.

The list of guests includes French choreographer Jeison Tousent, who will head a workshop on breakdance, an urban dance style originated in the Afro-American communities of New York.

Also attending will be the U.S. rap band Intikana, Canadian singers Lu Piensa and Vox Sambox, Haitians Makendi and Edu, and Colombians Jaison and Lucia.

The first symposium on Cuban hip hop took place in 2005 and it was conceived and organized as an annual event by the Fabrik project with the goal of creating a space for exchange among artists and activists who contribute with community projects to the development of this music genre in the Caribbean nation.
