Cuban hip-hop pioneers Obsesión are celebrating their 20th anniversary this summer! To mark the occasion, they are organizing three days of workshops, seminars and hip hop events in Havana, Cuba - and inviting friends and supporters from around the world to join them. Huge Hip-Hop 4 Peace festival supporters, Obsesión travelled to Vancouver four times to rock crowds against war and occupation, and collaborate with local artists. They also hosted Hip Hop 4 Peace artists and organizers at the international Hip-Hop symposium in Havana. Now, they've asked MAWO and Hip-Hop 4 Peace for our support in making their anniversary celebration a great success.
