Sacramento Knoxx (Anishinaabe/Xicano) at the Center for Ethnomusicology

Tuesday, October 25, 2022 - 5:00pm to 7:00pm

The Center for Ethnomusicology is delighted to announce a “meet the artist” event with leading Indigenous media artist/producer/rapper Sacramento Knoxx, to be held in 701C Dodge Hall on the Columbia Morningside Campus (The Center for Ethnomusicology) on TUESDAY OCT 25 from 5-7PM. This event is open to all, but space is limited so come early.  Please be fully vaccinated and be prepared to wear a mask.

Sacramento Knoxx (Christopher Yepez) is an Ojibwe/Anishinaabe and Xicano media artist, emcee, music producer, and community cultural worker. A prominent interdisciplinary artist from Southwest Detroit, Knoxx brings audiences a blend of visual art and performance that inspires, educates, motivates, and engages youth and elders alike in communities of color. His work is a creative expression of identity, love, and healing that challenges and confronts social ills. He is a founding member of the Aadizookaan, a dynamic collective of creatives who, guided by ancestral indigenous-based knowledge systems, tell uplifting cultural stories through multidisciplinary art and music.

This is his fifth visit to Columbia as a guest artist, and every other visit has left a deep impression on many here. Don’t miss this if you can make it!  Knoxx will bring along some synthesizer gear and perform, but has also expressed a desire to jam with our guests, so be prepared!
