VANCITY ROOTS & CULTURAL EXPERIENCE
On July 22nd, Amexem Roots Rock Reggae Cultural Society hosted Vancity Roots and Culture Experience, a FREE interactive reggae, hip-hop, soul and R&B music jam featuring some of the best seasoned and up and coming local artists in Vancouver. While celebrating the Earthstrong (birthday) of Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia under the red, gold and green banner, participants got a taste of the cultural experience rooted in reggae music. The Earthstrong of Haile Selassie I is celebrated by thousands of Rastafarians all over the world and is a remembrance of the Emperor’s commitment to peace, unity and freedom for all human beings regardless of ethnicity or economic status.
The Chain and Forge is a new public space in the heart of Granville Island that will offers a variety of free public events and activities over the summer. We hope you will join us in 2019 for the next installment of Vancity Roots and Culture Experience, lineuup to be announced soon!
This project is made possible through Granville Island’s Activation Grants and Initiatives.
