Music:
The festival commemorates historical roots and rich diversity by showcasing the enormous variety of cultural experiences in music. Music has long been an integral part of the human existence. It has allowed us to bond socially. It can sooth a child’s cry or energize a crowd. Music more than ever crosses racial, economic and social barriers. Musical genres continue to expand and change and is as vast as the imagination. Los Angeles is ready to rock to the rhythmic sounds of Afro-beat music to the French rock le musique de francophone. Some of our performers are Patsha Bay, Luis Price, Kevin Nash, Dani B. JAIA and others listed on the website. The BAAADU Festival also provides a platform for Artists to introduce, develop their brand, and collaborate with other Artists around the world.
