About the Artists:
Afro Yaqui Music The ASCAP award-winning Afro Yaqui Music Collective is a multilingual jazz band. Since 2016, they have been creating music ranging from soothing, introspective, cello-infused tango; to grooving, hard-hitting, virtuosic jazz-funk. Influenced by front-woman Gizelxanath Rodriguezâs experience growing up in two cultures (Mexican and American) and her ancestry as an Indigenous Yaqui woman, Afro Yaqui creates music in which culture and language fuse with catchy melodies and mind-bending harmony to enhance appreciation for diversity in an increasingly multicultural world. Some of their core members include Hugo Cruz (one of Havanaâs leading drummers and percussionists) Jin Yang (a pipa player who has toured with Yo-Yo Ma and countless others) and Ben Barson (Fred Hoâs protege and winner ASCAPâs top award in jazz composers under 30, the Johnny Mandel prize.)
DJ Femi is an extremely talented multifarious DJ based in the city of Pittsburgh. Her DJ career started 9 years ago when she attended a local performing arts school, CAPA. Femi is one of the most popular DJs in the City of Pittsburgh. As she represents for all of the women in the music industry, she continues to stand for women in the entertainment industry as well as women worldwide. She is a beacon of light in the nightlife and a prime example that women can be great DJs too.
