Oral Tradition!

July 16, 2010 By in Africa, Arts/Culture, Entertainment, Events 14

Unveiling Africa is so excited to announce what is sure to be an amazing event! We have collaborated with the Breath In Poetry Collective to put together a night of awe-inspiring spoken word and music.

Oral Tradition will be a night of story telling and testimony through the use of poetry and music. If you’re a lover of spoken word or music, this is one event you absolutely cannot miss. We’ve got some of Edmonton’s finest talent, including members of the Inaugural Edmonton Poetry Slam Team.

Our main feature all the way from Ottawa, for the first time in Edmonton, The Recipe!

Who is The Recipe?

The Recipe is the super group of spoken word poetry in Canada. On November 14th, 2009 team Ottawa was crowned the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word Champions in Victoria BC. The group’s chemistry and talent was too good to waste so they stayed together to create the entertaining, enlightening entity called The Recipe. Each member is a nationally acclaimed, award-winning artist. Combined they have shared the stage with Amir Sulaiman, Shihan and legendary poet Saul Williams. Members have performed their art across the globe, most recently The Recipe member Ian Keteku, competed in France at the World Poetry Slam and was crowned world champion! This group’s skill knows no bounds, and we are excited to bring them here to Edmonton! Check them out here
