Exotic Erotic and Cowabunga are not the only big parties on campus this weekend. In a concert-fashion show duo that will feature the work of local artists — including current Stanford students and alumni — the Caribbean Students Association (CSA) is presenting “The Movement” as its first annual Hip Hop, Dance and Fashion Benefit Concert.

Co-sponsored by Raspire Movement and Comotion Productions, the event will showcase performers including Jidenna the Chief, Jim Chitty, Von, True KoloRs, Raspire Movement, ST and Catch a Fyah, Stanford’s first Caribbean dance group. The show will also feature coordinators and students from the Mural Music & Arts Project, a project that was founded in part by a CSA member. All proceeds from “The Movement” will be donated to East Palo Alto youths through the Project’s History Through Hip Hop Program.

“[The Project] is trying to encourage kids to get involved in the arts, to have them focus on that instead of other negative influences,” said CSA member Kimani McDonald ‘10.

“[The] goal [of “The Movement”] is first to raise funds for East Palo Alto youth and the Mural Music & Art Project,” said CSA president Kamila McDonald ‘08. “We also want to get CSA’s name out there, since this is the first time we are doing something this big. We’re trying to promote diversity within our campus, and within the rich culture of the Caribbean.”

Organizers are expecting a turnout of more than 700 students for the event, which starts tonight at 6 p.m. in Dinkelspiel Auditorium.

“It’s going to be high-energy, jam-packed, a fusion of cultures,” Kamila McDonald said. “We really just want everyone to have a good time. We hope that the event really represents what the Mural Arts Project is all about — spreading positivity.”

Tickets are $5 with an SUID and $10 for the general public. They will be sold in White Plaza today from 12 until 2 p.m. and will also be available at the door. Visit www.comotionpresents.com for more information.
