Performance

Join us for an evening of music performances inspired by the literary tradition. Curated by multidiscplinary artist nahhphet, the program features performances by Qur’an Shaheed, Enjonu, Kwame Adu, and a back-to-back set by Dick Chainey, K. Solar, nahhphet, and pres.morris.

Where music rooted in lived experience of Los Angeles intertwines with music inspired by literary tradition, you will find Best Coast Book Club. An act of love for musicians who make art for readers and pull inspiration from direct relationship to Los Angeles, this event is meant to celebrate the interrelation of a network of contemporary artists engaged in organic dialogue with one another, artists who carry forward musical traditions embedded in our city’s history, from the legacy of Project Blowed to the legacy of the Pan Afrikan People’s Arkestra.
