In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, and the incredible impact Black culture influences globally; BE NATION, CLOUDS OF COLOR, SONY H.U.E, & BLACK MUSIC COLLECTIVE have partnered to bring you a music-first listening and networking experience. The theme, ROOTS & ROTATIONS, honors the era when Black music, particularly hip-hop and R&B, circulated through community-driven formats like vinyl, mixtapes, and cassettes long before gaining access to traditional industry gatekeepers, and connects that legacy to modern platforms. Network, connect, enjoy light bites and curated drinks with a collective of music, tech and entertainment professionals of New York City.
