Join us for the return of the Francis Experience Quartet for First Friday: Hip Hop(e) & Healing for a night of communal healing through artistry, music, and spoken word. Featuring award-winning poet José Jiménez and a poets corner with Zainab Hussain, Auracle Ash, and Esperanza Cabrales.
The Francis Experience is led by Jonathan Francisco Borca, alongside co-founder Gabby Horlick (drums), and features musicians Miguel "Frunkyman" Levya (bass), and Mark Arroyo (guitar), with special guest Jared Cruz (saxophone). The quintet blends rap, poetry, and storytelling as a vehicle to engage audiences with one shared experience.
