Femi Kuti started the band, the Positive Force, bringing his brand of Afrobeat that fuses funk, jazz, and highlife, around the world. In 2001, he collaborated with a number of US musicians on his album Fight to Win, including Common, Mos Def, and Jaguar Wright; in 2021, he released a two-album project with his son Made Kuti called Legacy+. His latest LP Journey Through Life balances the political themes that have defined his career with deeply personal reflections on family, life, and inner growth. Also performing is dead prez, the infamous hip-hop duo with an instantly recognizable hit (“Hip-Hop,” famously used as the bed track on Chappelle’s Show) and a legacy of calling out inequality and injustice throughout their career. Across three studio albums and a handful of mixtapes, they’ve championed militant social justice, self-determination, Pan-Africanism, and opposing corporate media. Cape Verdean singer and songwriter Elida Almeida, known for her viral single and album Nta Konsigui, will round out the evening. DJing between sets will be Rich Medina, the DJ, producer, spoken-word poet, archivist, and journalist who claims both the Rock Steady Crew and the Universal Zulu Nation and is a part of the DJ collective The Originals; in 2001 he created the “JUMP N FUNK”, North America’s original Afrobeat party series celebrating Fela Kuti and the cultural legacy of Afrobeat music. Maryam Bukar Hassan, also known as Alhanislam, is a Nigerian poet, human rights activist, and Pan-Africanist renowned for her impassioned advocacy on social issues. Recognized as one of the 100 Most Reputable Africans for 2025 and as the UN’s next Global Advocate for Peace, Alhanislam continues to bridge activism with the power of spoken word, using her voice to inspire change on a global scale.

Dance Performance | Historic Dance Show Recreated with Dancers & Visual Arts
The Jerome Robbins Dance Division at the Library for the Performing Arts preserves Elaine Summers' archive. In honor of the Library's 60th anniversary, organizers celebrate Summers during her centennial birth year with a recreation of her 2007 performance, Hidden Forest. The centennial performance of Hidden Forest incorporates eight dancers with musicians, composers, visual artists, and visual projections, which come from another intermedia piece by Summers. Hidden Forest is inspired by Dante's quote--"in the midst of the journey of life I came upon a dark forest, where the path was lost." Dancer, choreographer, and intermedia artist Elaine Summers was a major pioneer exploring the meeting of dance and film, melding the two into a seamless whole which she referred to as "intermedia." This recreation of Hidden Forest is directed by Frances Becker and assisted by the Artistic Estate of Elaine Summers. Seating is first-come first-served. Just show up!
