Join the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute for the launch of their newest exhibition, Rhythm, Bass & Place: Through the Lens featuring the works of photography documentarians, Joe Conzo Jr. & Malik Yusef Cumbo who have captured the essence and elements of Black music as it has evolved between the 1970s - 2000s.
Through black and white photographs, they’ve captured multiple genres of music and have collectively helped us see how musical styles were created in New York City’s Diasporic communities. From portrait to photojournalism, Rhythm, Bass and Place: Through the Lens is a testament of a social movement, a cultural renaissance and a communally crafted sound experience that reverberates throughout the world.
This exhibition is organized during a special time, during the global celebration of Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary, a culture and genre born of reggae, jazz, salsa, merengue, soul, funk and disco.
These photographers created a visual culture that amplifies the sounds our people make when gathered in neighborhoods across nations.
