African hiphop in Secret Garden

As some of you may know. I am a big fan of African Arts & Culture. I am inspired by the creativity that comes from the different young people from Africa and the African Diaspora.
So last sunday when i was asked to join their celebration of Africanhiphop.com i was honoured to join. The celebration turned out to be a relaxt, warm get together with artists like Zwart Licht, Pan Africans, Selah Adin, my girl Esperanza (she is amazing). To name a view.
And all of this is Amsterdam Secret Garden: Tolhuis Tuin.
Its the most beautifull garden in the North of Amsterdam. And for one day. Africa came and took over.. :)
