A big thank you to Circa '95 for bring us back to the days of Kool Herc and b-boys and b-girls throwing it down in the BX! Your positivity and conscious lyrics were inspiring. Much love from the Bronx River Art Center! - Bronx River Art Center
It was an honor to finally bring some raw hip-hop to Columbia's auditorium stage for Latino Heritage Month. We couldn't have asked to close the show any other way - Ana Luisa Cisneros
