Black is Beautiful-Folklore Urbano NYC and iD Studio community event

Event begins at minute mark 15". Hosted by iD Studio Theater in the South Bronx, a sharing of art submissions and testimonials from young people around NYC, inspired by the song and video "Black is Beautiful" produced by Folklore Urbano NYC in collaboration with choreographer Daniel Fetecua.
It was a powerful hour as we listened to young artists express what "Black is Beautiful" means to them! We also had the opportunity to hear from Daniel Fetecua (choreographer of the video), Pablo Mayor (composer and artistic director of Folklore Urbano) and Anna Povich Mayor, as they shared insights into the creation and relevance of this project during this time. And, don't miss Daniel teaching the choreography! "Black is Beautiful" is the first single released from the new album of Folklore Urbano NYC Called "El Barrio Project-SALSA." The album was recorded at ID Studio, where Pablo Mayor continues his long-term collaboration as composer and producer.
