SUMMARY:Nuestra Lírica: Hip hop de Pe-erre & The Chi
DESCRIPTION:This Independence Day weekend\, as Chicago’s Puerto Rican community gathers in Humboldt Park for the historic Jolgorio Boricua: No Kings\, No Colonies celebration—a call for self-determination\, cultural affirmation\, and solidarity—Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center welcomes two influential voices from Puerto Rico\, rapper Siete Nueve and producer\, DJ\, finger drummer\, and MC El S\, for a special residency at La Resi and an unforgettable evening dedicated to the power of words. \nNuestra Lírica: Hip hop de Pe-erre & The Chi brings together artists whose work reminds us that lyrics are more than entertainment—they are memory\, testimony\, resistance\, healing\, and imagination. \nJoining Siete Nueve and El S are two of Chicago’s most compelling voices: Chicago Poet Laureate Mayda Del Valle and acclaimed hip-hop artist Pinqy Ring. Together\, these artists will share performances\, stories\, creative process\, and dialogue exploring how poetry and music shape identity\, challenge injustice\, preserve culture\, and inspire transformation. \nThroughout the evening\, audiences will experience live performances\, artist conversations\, dj sets\, and moments of collective reflection that blur the boundaries between concert\, poetry reading\, community gathering\, and cultural dialogue. Rooted in the spirit of Puerto Rico and Chicago\, Nuestra Lírica celebrates the artists who use words to build bridges\, reclaim narratives\, and envision freer futures. \nTICKETS \n

SUMMARY:Afrodjia Social Club
DESCRIPTION:Afrodjia Social Club\, an immersive deejay performance and pop-up supper club conceived by artist\, curator\, and deejay Sadie Woods. \nAfrodjia Social Club is supported in part by the Chicago Park District and the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. Program partners include Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center\, CNL Projects\, and Chicago Public Art Group. \n\n\nUnder the artistic direction of Sadie Woods\, with acclaimed trumpeter Corey Wilkes serving as Music Director\, Afrodjia Social Club features an orchestral DJ set that brings together Woods’ deejaying practice with live symphonic instrumentation and vocal performance. The performance pays homage to Woods’ Chicago roots and familial heritage by way of Lares and Guayama (Borikén)\, New York\, Louisiana\, and Mississippi. Utilizing deejaying as both an American art form and cultural catalyst\, the performance highlights musical traditions that have long sustained communities through ceremony\, celebration\, gathering\, and fellowship. \nThrough contemporary music\, original compositions and reimagined traditional songs\, the program merges electronic sound\, orchestral arrangements\, and live performance\, demonstrating how music functions as sanctuary\, archive\, and living embodiment of American histories. The work celebrates the cultural knowledge\, foodways\, and musical traditions carried forward through generations\, honoring the peoples whose labor\, stewardship\, and creativity have shaped the cultural landscape of the Americas. \n \n\n\nHospitality is central to the experience. Guests will enjoy Comidas y Bebidas\, a thoughtfully prepared dinner by Chef Roberto Peréz of Urban Pilón\, centering Borinquén and Caribbean dining traditions through a farm-to-table approach featuring produce from Cedillo Fresh Produce\, locally sourced ingredients and time-honored cooking methods. \nThe evening includes beverage contributions from Three Olive Vodka\, Tin Cup Bourbon\, and 1800 Tequila. \nLineup: Sadie Woods (DJ\, Artistic Director)\, Corey Wilkes (Music Director)\, Miguel de la Cerna (Composer)\, Charles McKeith (Drummer)\, Edith Yokley (Violin\, Composer)\, Chris Paquette (Percussion)\, Avery Attzs (Steel Drum)\, Joe Sonnefeldt (Steel Drum)\, Thaddeus Tukes (Vibes/Keys)\, Royce Harrington (Trombone)\, Kevin Nabors Tenor Sax\, Frank Russell (Bass)\, Illuminati Congo (Vocals)\, Isa Starr (Vocals). \n\nTICKETS
