Bavubuka
Foundation in conjunction with Heart
In Action, Star Image Uganda and No
End Entertainment realizes the close
relationship between basketball, music,
fashion and dance in hip-hop culture.
Hence we are introducing an annual
hip-hop event called “We Got
Skillz” that will bring together
these four areas to create a conscience
and empowering experience.
The
event will include local and international
artists, DJs, producers (both audio
and visual), athletes, break-dancers,
graffiti and spoken word performers.
Hip-hop supporters worldwide will
be invited to celebrate the growth
and development of East African hip-hop
culture. The event will take place
in Kampala, Uganda over the week of
(and coincide with) International
AIDS day (December 1st). This event
will be multicast live in real time
over the Internet through technology,
supported and provided by Heart in
Action Enterprises.
