SUMMARY:Capoeira Batizado
DESCRIPTION:The Batizado is an annual initiation ritual and ceremony which has evolved and morphed over the centuries\, honoring the practice of Capoeira in a modern and global context. A student’s Batizado (Baptism) is the first time a student plays inside the Roda (Capoeira Playing Circle) with a Mestre de Capoeira (Master of Capoeira). It is an important rite of passage. Often\, a student may receive a new nickname that they become known by\, in the Capoeira World. In the past\, students would train for many months before they set foot in the Roda. Today\, although students may have experience playing inside the Roda\, the Batizado is considered their first real experience of the Jogo de Capoeira (Game of Capoeira). It is the official welcome and blessing. Another important aspect of the Batizado is the ‘Troca de Cordelî’  (the exchange of belts). Mestres play one or more games with the older students and acknowledge their achievements by awarding them higher belts.

SUMMARY:Dr. Julius W. Garvey West Coast Book Tour
DESCRIPTION:WorldBeat Cultural Center is pleased to welcome Dr. Julius W. Garvey\, son of Marcus Mosiah Garvey to WorldBeat Center as part of his West Coast Book Tour for the revised edition of “The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey”.  \nSurgeon and medical professor Dr. Julius W. Garvey was born on September 17\, 1933 in Kingston\, Jamaica to United Negro Improvement Association founder Marcus Garvey and activist Amy Jacques Garvey. The younger of two sons\, Garvey was raised in Jamaica. He graduated from Wolmer’s Trust High School for Boys in Kingston in 1950; and then earned his B.S. degree from McGill University in Montréal\, Canada in 1957\, and his M.D.\, C.M. degree from McGill University Faculty of Medicine in 1961. \nThe late leader’s son\, Dr. Julius W. Garvey\, has been leading the charge to have his father’s name cleared after the elder Garvey was convicted of crimes that the family solidly argues he did not commit. \nIn an exclusive interview with theGrio\, Dr. Garvey explained the finer details of the Justice4Garvey movement\, which has the stated goal of seeking exoneration for Marcus Garvey. The elder Garvey was born Aug. 17\, 1887\, in St. Ann’s Bay\, Jamaica\, and established the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) in 1914 in his home country before moving the headquarters to New York. \nIn 1923\, Garvey was convicted of mail fraud in connection to the Black Star Line program he established as a pathway to economic equality for Black people. Garvey was imprisoned and later deported\, and his surging movement in America was stalled as he never again returned to the states. The Garvey family maintains that the charges against the leader were trumped up in order to halt any momentum that Garvey gained in the fight for civil rights. \n In a statement coinciding with the most recent resolution to pardon Marcus Garvey\, Rep. Clarke said\, “I call for the President [Biden] to exonerate Mr. Garvey on the grounds that the case against him was politically motivated\, unsubstantiated\, and unjust.”

SUMMARY:Native American Month Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Native American Month with a blessing and drum circle by Tim Red Bird and the Red Warriors   \nAlso with us King Yellowman and Alika (with DJ Mykol Orthodox) \nAbout King Yellowman \nKing Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley. After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston\, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellow an instant hit in Jamaica. After surgery an extended leave of absence from the record industry\, Yellowman began his comeback with the song “Blueberry Hill”\, and his career was re-launched. His first album for RAS came from producer Phillip ‘Fatis’ Burrell and was called “Yellow Like Cheese”. Coincidentally this was the start of a long and fruitful relationship with RAS and Yellowman and also RAS and ‘Fatis’ and his exterminator production. Yellowman has always been very professional to work with and always a respectful and reliable human being. He has managed to outlive his predicted fate of death and his performances are incredibly lively as he seems to have an unlimited amount of stage energy. We can only hope for the best for Yellowman. He has continued his hard work and his devotion to his family is to be complimented.  \nAbout Alika \nAlika (born Alicia Dal Monte Campuzano in Montevideo\, Uruguay and raised in Buenos Aires\, Argentina) is one of the most important artists in South America right now garnering millions of hits on Youtube…Alika’s latest album\, Mi Palabra\, Mi Alma (My Word\, My Soul)\, is just that: Reggae drums and Hip-Hop beats that help her bare her soul in rhymes and music. “El Don\,” a cumbia-infused Hip-Hop track featuring Argentine rapper La Liga made its worldwide debut last year as part of the soundtrack to the popular video game “Grand Theft Auto V”. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tribute to the Reggae Legends Pre-Party: The Gladiators and the Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Both legendary roots reggae groups from Jamaica: the Meditations and the Gladiators. You don’t get to see these roots groups that often. Don’t miss this\, two foundation groups\, from the home of Reggae Jamaica. \nThe Meditations are among the most beloved and respected harmony trios to emerge from the roots era of reggae during the 1970s. In 1999\, they returned better than ever with Ghetto Knowledge\, their first album together since 1992 and their only full-length release with Easy Star. After a successful career in Jamaica in the 70s\, including recording timeless hits like “Woman Is Like A Shadow\,” “Miracles\,” “Fly Natty Dread\,” and “Having Fun\,” the group recorded “Jah Music” for Easy Star Records’ debut compilation. The song was a favorite on reggae radio and the collaboration with Easy Star led to the release of Ghetto Knowledge in 1999. Ghetto Knowledge bears all of the trademarks of a classic Meditations record: gorgeous harmonies\, beautifully written songs and cultural lyrics. Many of the tracks had been written in the 1970s and 1980s but had never been recorded for release before. This disc established The Meditations once and for all as one of the premier vocal groups in Jamaican history. \nThe Gladiators have been masters of the reggae arena for the past 30 years. After the rise and fall of many reggae artists and bands\, they remain one of the most influential reggae groups to date. The group’s original leader\, Albert Griffiths\, formed the legendary band – whose name was suggested to him on a bus by a fellow traveler who had just seen the movie “Ben Hur.” The concept of men who fought for their liberty against Babylon immediately struck a chord with Albert and remains a testament today of the difficult life and struggle of Jamaica. The Gladiators have proven on stage and in the studio that they are without a doubt one of the best and most enduring original real roots\, rock reggae bands. \nIn 2005 The Gladiators continue with the fresh new “Father and Sons” album recorded in Jamaica still faithful to their roots compositions delivering reggae music full of heart\, force and courage. Featuring Albert Griffiths’ two sons\, Anthony on drums and Al sharing lead vocals\, “Father and Sons” is a gripping reflection on life\, love and faith. \nCurrently Albert is in the process of turning The Gladiators over to his two sons he knows are capable of carrying on this musical heritage. With Anthony on drums setting the pace for the band and Al’s voice\, which is virtually indistinguishable from his father’s\, these two young reggae warriors have proven both live and in the studio that they are fully competent and are infusing a new\, youthful energy and substance to carry The Gladiators’ legacy into the future. The “New” Gladiators have already garnered tremendous response touring throughout Europe\, Brazil\, the South Pacific and Australia to as many as 70\,000 fans in mostly sold-out shows. They are poised and ready to spread their message to the rest of the world! \n \nMembers $20 | Non-Members $25\nInterested in becoming a WorldBeat Member?

SUMMARY:Reparations United Unity Tour - San Diego
DESCRIPTION:Reparations—a system of redress for egregious injustices—are not foreign to the United States. \nThe average white family has roughly 10 times the amount of wealth as the average Black family. White college graduates have over seven times more wealth than Black college graduates. Making the American Dream an equitable reality demand for Blacks has been repeatedly denied. In order to close the Black – White (among other racial groups) racial wealth gap in the U.S. Blacks’ deferred wealth must be restored. Through reparations\, these racial disparities can be easily addressed and supported by a variety of wealth-building opportunities such as education\, basic guaranteed income initiatives\, housing\, and business ownership. \nThe Reparations Unity Tour is designed to unify those of us who are influencers in our communities on the essential elements in the Reparations Movement. We believe that to win reparations there must be unity on how to proceed when addressing these essential elements. Please join Us! We are determined to win! \n\n\n\n\nPlease visit ReparationsUnited.org for additional details.

SUMMARY:Plant Spirit Meditation & Tea Tasting
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of these meditations is to connect deeply to the earth and the plants.
