Event description
What is percussive poetry? It's a poetry that strikes back, that moves and grooves hard. It tells our ancestors' stories; it's a poetry of worship, believe, and healing... The poets assembled for this evening precuss precisely in this way...you'll feel their words in your skin, bones, soul and corazón.
