When Lions Roar

June 6th, 2009 by Sikh Knowledge

in light of the 25th anniversary of the attacks on the Harmandir Sahib, The Sikh Activist Network, a group of dope individuals doing non-exclusive community service every chance they get, organize an event called “When Lions Roar”. This event showcased works that were themed with remembrance of the atrocities by young urban Sikh artists. There were spoken word artists, Gatka artists (Sikh Martial arts), emcees, and singers.

Humble the Poet (www.thepoetproject.com) and I were blessed to have been involved and headline the awareness portion of the show.

We ripped it. This group GNE from D.C. were before and they were possibly, the most energetic cats I’ve ever followed. The issue with with going after hype ass acts is that your left with an audience needing a certain level of energy to coast to the end of your set…I was worried. But, we brought it.
GNE were dope and I look forward to performing with them in Fresno at the jakara event (http://www.jakara.org/)

talk soon
