Hello everyone,
The first blog in a while. The first of many to come. ORANJE season is definitely in full effect once again.
Before I get started I want to talk about our friend Mpozi Mshale Tolbert. The ORANJE family, as well as the Indianapolis community lost a good friend and true warrier on Monday, July 3rd. While we will miss Mpozi very dearly--the reggae tent @ ORANJE will not be the same without him--we will also do our best to continue working hard to present ORANJE every year to Indy and help bring to light the amazingly talented members of our art and music community. We know if Mpozi could speak to us now, he would say just keep doing what you're doing. This has been a truly tough loss for the team, but from this experience, strength and positivity will be gained, and Mpozi will be there with us in spirit forever.
We are pleased to announce that our artists and musicians have been selected for the 2006 showcase. Emails have been and will be sent out this weekend to inform participants who have been selected. The lineup this year, both artistically and musicically, is quite exciting, and we are anxious to see the ideas of each participant begin to unfold in the coming weeks.
Other details, including event location, will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to the website for the most up-to-date information. In addition, if you wish to receive these updates by email, please sign up for our mailing list if you have not already. This can be done on the front page of the site.
Enjoying the last few minutes of free time for the summer...
Bless,
Ryan
aka DJ Helicon
