Griot Party Comes to the City of Destiny

Not too long ago, the Tacoma Art Museum buzzed with energy as the Griot Party Experience made its triumphant return. This time, the vibrant celebration of culture and creativity found its home within the walls of the museum, marking a shift from its previous spotlight at Langston Hughes in the Central District. The even was produced Logic Amen who orchestrated another unforgettable evening, infusing the atmosphere with pulsating vibes. The legendary Vitamin D took control of the turntables, setting the tone for an evening of storytelling and inspiration.

The event hosted by Mecca Amen, had a lineup of six remarkable individuals: The Messenger, Caution, Dani Marie, Miz Floes, Ibrahim Arsalan, and David Bennett. Their narratives, interwoven with humor, wisdom, and raw emotion, illuminated the transformative power of art. Comedian Boe Blast and hip-hop artist Asim, also known as E Real, added their voices to the chorus, sharing personal experiences that resonated deeply with the audience. SIOA and I am Chamel contributed their own stories, highlighting the profound impact of artistic expression on healing.

Guiding us through this immersive experience was the charismatic Mecca Amen, whose presence as host elevated the evening to new heights. As the Griot Party unfolded, it became clear that we were not merely spectators but active participants in a collective journey of healing and empowerment.
