Our nations capital will be playing "hostess" to one of the entertainment industries most prolific female music and arts festivals put together; The fourth annual Can A Sista Rock A Mic? Festival.
The festival marks the progression of the female voice in the industry be it from spoken word, to visual arts, to music... it's all there for the taking. Each year the Festival gets better by showcasing some of the greatest females to ever rock the mic.
Last years festivities brought out Sy Smith, Philladelphia's Bahamadia and MC Lyte to rock the mic right, and this year will be no exception with the sista's scheduled to perform which includes artists Ayah, Nola Darling, Alison Carney and Teisha Marie. Also featured during the weeks events are veterans such as Jean Baylor, Angela Johnson, Yahzarah and N'dambi.
In addition to the phenomenal women on the mic, CASRAM will also highlight other facets of female artistic expression with a production of The Saartjie Project and a screening of NO! The Rape Documentary. The festival begins on Wednesday, October 8th in the heart of Washington, DC's historic U Street area and culminates in a free grand finale concert in Silver Springs, MD on Saturday, October 11th.
