Reclaim the Thunder: Songs for Social Change Workshop

Join us for the Reclaim the Thunder: Songs for Social Change Workshop by Taina Asili.

Taina Asili will share wisdom she has gathered from her 20 year history writing songs that seek to reclaim power, break barriers inspire, and unite. The workshop begins by looking at examples of social change songs and songwriters throughout genres, eras and movements. She will then guide participants in a hands-on songwriting exercise, first turning our ideas into lyrics, and later, bringing these words to the music. Taina Asili’s band will be set up as the “house band” for participants to experiment with their creations. This workshop is open to people of all ages and artistic levels, from beginner poets to experienced mcees and singers. Join us in this interactive radical music jam to reinvent our world!
