"The Beautiful, Rowdy Prisoners"
a Hip-Hop Set by
Chee Malabar
Chee Malabar’s musical resume includes six albums: three with Himalayan Project, followed by an LP and EP with Oblique Brown and two albums under his own moniker. Chee's previous efforts are an exploration of the immigrant experience, love, relationships, politics, and art. His latest release, "The Beautiful, Rowdy Prisoners," is a series of loosely connected songs and vignettes inspired by years of Chee’s work with incarcerated youth and their families. Chee Malabar’s work has found its way into college curriculums, discussion panels, and papers that address identity and hip-hop.
The show will be followed by a Q&A with Manan Ahmed, Assistant Professor of History at Columbia.
**Doors open at 6:45pm**
