MUSIC:
IYEOKA: Nigerian American, Boston Native, highly acclaimed poet/vocalist, Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo, returns to Hawaii with the support of The National Performance Network and partner B.CAP. About a year has passed since last we saw Iyeoka, she is here to teach a workshop, perform and collaborate with local acts, Tempo Valley, Quadraphonix, and Paula Fuga. Iyeoka merges poetry and music to inspire a new generation of audiences who demand more from the current direction of mainstream music. She has shared the stage with Gil Scot Heron, Jeff Robinson Trio, Vivian Green. She was asked to compose and perform a poem for a dinner event hosted for Paul Kagame, the President of Rwanda, she received a 2007 Massachusetts Industry Committee Hip-Hop Award for Spoken Word Artist of the year, and a New England Urban Music Award for the Best Female Spoken Word Poet of 2006.
