Baltimore Meets Bahia: An A GENTE Fundraiser

Experience what emerges when Black artists from Baltimore City blend their arts practices with the rich Black arts of Bahia, Brasil. The shared roots of the African Diaspora will be shaking beneath our dancing feet! This is a kickoff event for A GENTE, an artist residency in Baltimore and Bahia that is all about artistic co-creation, inner healing through faith and love, and social imagination. Blending capoeira in the street out front of the Creative Alliance with Black Assets’ vocals and TWZ’s live painting, our artists will have you moved. You will have the chance to take part in sending these Baltimore artists to Bahia, Brasil in November 2024 by donating or bidding in an art auction featuring artists from across the Diaspora.

Raul Midón: Lost & Found Tour

Blind singer, songwriter, and guitarist Raul Midón is nothing if not prolific. His 14th and latest album, Lost & Found, is a blend of what he calls smooth folk, alt-pop, and jazz or "folk with harmonic surprises." It is a celebration of redemption with lyrics inspired by Bob Dylan’s poem "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie." A master at combining genres, “his music suggests a three way fusion of Stevie Wonder, Bobby McFerrin, and José Feliciano” (New York Times). Midón debuted the album’s first single, the uplifting bluesy pop song "Keep On Keeping On" on the The Jennifer Hudson Show in December 2023.
