Events We Love :: WorldTown v3 ft Moni & FWL
This Saturday DJ K7 (Phillip Allen) of Chattanooga, Tennessee invited me to be a part of his music series,Et Cetera, WorldTown v3 and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ll be screening a few of our Friends We Love shorts followed by a panel discussion on global culture and music. Later in the evening we’ll have a big party where we’ll play bumping music from around the world. I’ll be DJing along with K7 and Miss Kai from Nashville, a lovely soul sister I can’t wait to share the decks with.
Here’s a bit more information about the event from DJ K7:
Et Cetera (etc) is a music series spearheaded by Chattanooga DJ K7. ETC is about everything else; music that is not traditionally represented though the mainstream music outlet. The goal of ETC is to generate awareness for lesser-known musical styles such as: Afrobeat, Kuduro, Cumbia, Nu-Jazz, Broken Beat, Drum and Bass, and Future Soul. The names may seem unfamiliar but the sound is universal. We will be hosting recurring parties, lectures, and movie screenings to promote these sounds in the Chattanooga area.
Et Cetera Music presents WorldTown V. 3
DJ Moni, Miss Kai of Nashville, & resident DJ K7 will bring the Love Movement to Chattanooga! Join us from 9-1am on a journey around the world via the music we love. The sounds of the favelas, barrios, townships, and global villages will fill Chattanooga’s Southside. This is the WorldTown.

WorldTown v3 discussion
We will also be having a screening/discussion with Moni at 3pm.
On April 17th join us for a special screening/discussion with NYC multimedia artist Moni Pineda, co-creator of the NYC artist mini-documentary series “Friends We Love”. We’ll be presenting 3 Friends We Love shorts followed by a discussion about the project and her views on global music culture.
About the WorldTown project:
“With World Town I am seeking to redefine the community’s perception of the music and culture from various Global Diasporas. People usually think of a culture and say to themselves, ‘Brazilian music sounds like this, or African music sounds like that,’ but there is so much more bubbling right below the surface. I’m seeking to create diversity through sound, by showing the local community how genres such as Jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggae, and even the Blues have been reinterpreted by other cultures.”
This event is made possible by a CreateHere MakeWork artist grant.
