Latinx Spoken Word: The Psiphon Sessions with Los Poetas

I discovered this video and was blown away. I wanted to share this with you.

“The Ajpu is a Nahual, Mayan Spirit, representing musicians, artists, observers, communicators and writers – and the adopted Nahual of Los Poetas. Los Poetas are Louwop, Che Uno and Afantú, Vancouver-based producer Vago, DJ Grouch and supported by a group of Canadian-based, Pan-Latinx master musicians. Originally their collective musical gaze was on 1970s Nuyork Salsa and the era of boom bap Hip-Hop that would come out of New York two decades later, but now Los Poetas have gone further back and deeper into their genetic memory. Now, Louwop, Che Uno and Afantú, Vancouver-based producer Vago, DJ Grouch and their backing band of Pan-Latinx master musicians, look beyond the music of their parent’s generation towards their ancestors — and through them, the indigenous roots of spoken word, drum and melody and the bridge to today where we call them rap, beats, and hooks.

Originalmente su mirada musical colectiva estaba en la Salsa Nuyorquiña de los setentas y la era de boom bap Hip-Hop que saldría de Nueva York dos décadas más tarde; pero ahora Los Poetas han ido más atrás y más profundamente en su memoria genética. Ahora ven más allá de la música de la generación de sus padres hacia sus antepasados y, a través de ellos, las raíces indígenas de la poesía, tambor y melodía y el puente hacia hoy donde los llamamos rap, beats y hooks.
