In 2001, Lincoln Center hosted the first La Casita, a citywide, internationally inclusive festival celebrating the global oral traditions in poetry and music, grounded in the principle that New York City is more equitably represented by presenting the rich artistic traditions of its many underserved communities. In honor of La Casita's twentieth anniversary, their roster of esteemed curators has assembled a stellar cast of artists hailing from across the globe, including interdisciplinary musical performers Madison McFerrin, Amyra León, and Kelly Tsai; spoken word poets Ricardo Alberto Maldonado, Rich Villar and Rabih Ahmed; and Senegalese kora player and vocalist Abdou Mboup. The evening's host is theatermaker and hip-hop artist Baba Israel.
