A few days ago we got to play host to a documentary crew shooting an early interview with local hiphop adventurers Tou SaiKo Lee, Maria Isa, andM.anifest. I’ll let director Justin Long summarize:
“The documentary, tentatively titled “Scattered Roots,” will follow three hip-hop artists, Maria Isa, M.anifest, and Tou SaiK Lee, who live in Minnesota but have roots in places far beyond the land of 10,000 lakes. The artists will travel to Ghana, Puerto Rico, and Thailand to explore how their music and their lives bridge generations and geography, and become part of the globally powerful movement of hip-hop.”
This interview was intense enough, I can only imagine dropping these three artists together and filming them ’round the world is going to spark some great cinematic/musical moments More info on it as the documentary progresses!
