Direct from the San Francisco/Bay Area, Cambodian American vocalist Bochan Huy and Filipina American hip hop artist Ruby Ibarra take the Kip Theatre stage in this live concert celebrating Southeast Asian American sisterhood. Join us in this season of springtime renewal and New Years for much of Southeast Asia. Defying the afterlives of U.S. war and empire in Southeast Asia, their music pulsates with histories of art and resistance in Cambodia and the Philippines, as they show us how young Asian Americans form their political voice through diverse genres (hip hop and Cambodian rock), multiple languages (English, Tagalog, Khmer, and Waray), and popular music.
