********************************************************************************************************
Last year, a group of artists from Calgary were invited to participate in an event in Recife, Brazil called FuZao; a social and cultural event aiming to integrate various cultures of resistance through presentations, community workshops, dance battles and dialogues as a creative collective. Raise it Up. is a fundraiser aiming at accomplishing similar goals as FuZao and proceeds will go towards the competition winners and a fund that will be used to sponsor two Brazilians from low-income communities to come to Canada and study Hip Hop.

Raise it Up will ultimately aim at raising awareness of the positive aspects of Hip Hop culture and the importance of the movement, raise the bar for bboys, bgirls, graffiti and other artists to share and perform their craft, to raise awareness of the influence of Afro-Brazilian culture on North American music and dance, and to raise funds for an important social cause.

********************************************************************************************
Calgary is one of 11 cities in North America to host Rock the Bells. Few events can claim to both capture and define a movement, yet this is precisely what Rock The Bells has done since its inception in 2003. Rock The Bells is more than a music festival. It has become a genuine rite of passage for thousands of core, social, conscious, and independent Hip Hop enthusiasts, backpackers, and heads. Following in the colorful tradition and history of past Hip Hop music festivals such as Smoking Grooves and Cypress Hill’s Smoke Out, Rock The Bells is the ultimate Hip Hop platform and premiere music experience in North America. Rock The Bells has established a forum of unparalleled diversity and excellence by uniting the biggest names involved with urban culture.

Rock The Bells will feature a massive outdoor festival area complete with traditional vendor booths, multimedia experiences, and historic surprise performances. The evolution of urban street culture has forged its own unique movement in this world. Finally, there’s an event that identifies and gives voice to the people and ideas that are continuing to shape it. If anyone is looking for a window into the future of this culture, Rock The Bells is as good as it gets.
