Feb 3: Born in Flames (Invincible, Tamar-kali, Jean Grae) in Paris, France at Sons D'Hiver Festival Born in Flames at Sons D'hiver Festival The Born in Flames Tour bridges the worlds of hip hop and rock, and spotlights women who represent the best of both worlds, bringing together two crucibles of creativity—Brooklyn and Detroit. Featured artists Invincible, Tamar-kali, and Jean Grae are all highly-respected in their individual scenes, and their ever-growing fan bases will continue to elevate them into cult status well into the future. The name of the tour, Born in Flames, speaks to the pressure these artists feel from from a world that’s often at odds with their very existence, be it black/woman/queer/punk, etc. Friday, February 3rd 164 Boulevard Gallieni \| Map Fontenay-sous-Bois, France 94120 Click here for more information about this event.
