********************************************************************************************************
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.
