Music, art, and resistance in the Bronx. A few moments from Sunday’s Octubre Rebelde, presented by @actionlabny, @bxmusic, and La Peña del Bronx as part of @falloffreedom.

From @waikil_rapmapuche’s headline performance to the photo exhibit “Ayer y Hoy, Chile contra El Fascismo,” we came together to celebrate culture and collective resistance.

Thank you to every artist, photographer, and neighbor who joined us. Courage is contagious. Art matters.

Pellízquenme, de verdad esto pasó!? ❤️‍🔥🎶✊🏾🖤🎤
Acabamos de concluir el Primer Festival Internacional de Hip Hop desde los Pueblos Indígenas en Nueva York.
Entre el 9 y 12 de octubre el Bronx nos recibió.
En el corazón del territorio donde DJ Kool Herc y su hermana Cindy iniciaron un movimiento global, artistas indígenas de todo el continente llegaron a reconectar con las raíces del Hip Hop.
El Festival Internacional de Hip Hop Indígena (@iihhfnyc ) reunió a varios artistas durante tres días de actuaciones, talleres y comunidad, con la participación de veteranos y leyendas del hip hop como DJ Kool Herc, Cindy Campbell, Melle Mele, Grand Wizzard Theodore, Abiodun Oyewole, de The Last Poets y Kaila Bule.
Además tuvimos la dicha de presenciar la fuerza y creatividad de las presentaciones de:
Drezus (Plains Cree/Saulteaux - Canadá)
Nataanii Means (Oglala Lakota/Omaha/Diné - EE. UU.)
Renata Flores (Quechua - Perú)
Luanko + MC Millaray + DJ Seltzer (Mapuche - Chile)
Mare Advertencia Lirika (Zapoteca - Oaxaca)
Bobby Sánchez (Quechua - Bronx)
Diogañhdih (Nación Mohawk - EE. UU./Canadá)
Gracias a todas las personas, corazones, voluntades y esfuerzos que hicimos esto una realidad.
Mi corazón esta feliz y sigo alucinada ✨🤘🏾
