Lauryn Hill has partnered with TIDAL
X for the launch of a three-day music/arts festival in Brooklyn called Diaspora Calling!.
Set to run Friday (April 15) at Kings Theatre, Hill describes the festival as "a collection of works intended to celebrate the rich tapestry of artists from the African Diaspora while also illumining persistent and irrepressible themes".
"Even if we work independently, we are a resounding collective voice, both reconciling and embracing our relationship to history, our origins, our future and to ourselves," Hill said in a statement.
