FUNKJAZZ KAFÉ®: SEE THE HISTORY and EXPERIENCE THE LEGACY

Nationally Award-winning film, “FunkJazz Kafé: Diary Of A Decade (The Story Of A Movement)” documents Atlanta’s creative arts movement and opens the 25th Annual National Black Arts Festival

The legendary multi-faceted arts and music festival, FunkJazz Kafé®, birthed a creative arts movement in 1994, and nearly twenty-years of footage later, it has spawned into a highly acclaimed, award winning documentary film, “FunkJazz Kafé: Diary Of A Decade (The Story Of A Movement)” that has sold out venues across the country. Applauded by Pulitzer Prize award-winning author, Alice Walker, this documentary chronicles the Atlanta-based festival that Rolling Stone Magazine has proclaimed as “A Cultural Paradise!” Since its inception, FunkJazz Kafé® Arts & Music Festival has developed into one of the most anticipated and original, interactive cultural arts festivals in North America.

On Friday, July 12 at 7pm at the Southwest Arts Center (915 New Hope Rd SW), the National Black Arts Festival opens with the film screening and welcomes audiences to SEE THE HISTORY and EXPERIENCE THE LEGACY of FunkJazz Kafé®. Narrated by Chuck D of Public Enemy, the film spans the late 1980s - early 2000s and speaks on the fabric of soul music, its pioneers, its offspring, the challenges with the commercial music industry, and the evolution of the Atlanta-birthed FunkJazz Kafé®.
