Make Me Wanna Holler - The Rhythm of Resistance Live at Green Room 42
Make Me Wanna Holler is a sonic journey through the legacy of R&B and Hip Hop as engines of social change. This cabaret explores how these genres—born from struggle, joy, protest, and survival—have become vital vehicles for truth-telling in times of need and turmoil. Make Me Wanna Holler celebrates the beauty, the heartbreak, and the unshakable resilience found within our collective and universal struggle.
Through intimate original poetry, music, and a dynamic, biopic cast, the show weaves together music, memory, and movement to honor the artists who dared to speak, sing, and shout for freedom. This is not just a performance—it's a revolution set to a beat.
