Cuban Hip-Hop with Yrak Saenz aka Vitalicio

Presented by the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in collaboration with Emetrece Productions and hosted by Four Season’s Four Seasons Dance Studio.

JOIN US FOR A DISCUSSION, INTERVIEW, AND RAP DEMONSTRATION

Yrak Saenz, also known as Vitalicio, has been performing and recording rap music in Cuba for over two decades as an originator of the Havana hip-hop scene. From his trajectory in the band Garage H that fused rock with rap in the mid 1990’s, to his 15 year portfolio alongside Edgar Gonzalez in the duo Doble Filo, today Yrak is considered one of the most well known Cuban rappers of all time.
