People Power Tour
Client People Power Tour
Date 2009
Service Provided Branding and PR Management
Filipino-American emcee Geologic (Blue Scholars), and fellow organizer/emcee Kiwi, embarked on the Stop the Killings tour (2007), to address the human rights violations and raise funds for the families of victims in the Philippines. Now in 2009, with a new partnership, the two emcees have formed the People Power tour with a mission to bring awareness to the plight of the Filipino people through critical, class-conscious music. Both Kiwi and Geo are active Filipino community organizers in their respective cities, drawing connections between the struggles of Filipinos in the US and their compatriots back home. They share the view that art is not only a reflection of the world, but a tool, which can help shape a just future society. From the rapidly gentrifying street-corner to the Ivory Tower of academia, Kiwi and Geo bring forth a message of resistance and self-determination in the tradition of pro-people Hip Hop music.
