Description

DC non-profit Swaliga Foundation will host a release party at Culture Coffee Too, to celebrate their new album Tale of Two Cities. On August 26, 2021 the DC non-profit Swaliga Foundation will host a release party at Culture Coffee Too to celebrate their new album, Tale of 2 Cities along with the single and video for the song, “This Feelin.” Swaliga Foundation’s two main programming missions include a global initiative that uses digital arts to teach Engineering Design and Applied Science to underserved youths, as well as a cultural exchange program that sends DC area teens to South Africa for a week-long immersive experience rooted in education, social justice, wellness and Community Service. In early 2020, the Swaliga Foundation had planned a series of artistic cultural exchange concerts between DC and South Africa. As COVID shutdown international travel, the organization pivoted and decided to bring those artists together in one place through the making of an album, the result of which is Tale of 2 Cities. The album was produced by Olé Entertainment and funded in part by the D.C. Commission of Arts and Humanities. The first single and music video from that album, “This Feelin,” inspired by South African rhythms and culture, is now available to the public. The song was created and produced by Lemond “Imag” Brown (also the Founder & Executive Director of Swaliga Foundation), and Entaty, a graduate of Duke Ellington High School and UDC who has previously worked with artists such as Raheem DeVaughn and the late, legendary, Chuck Brown. Entanty is currently the lead vocalist for the celebrated Go-Go band, UCB. The Swaliga Foundation is aimed at cultivating learning globally to inspire young people to connect their passion to successful careers. This year Swaliga Foundation is gearing up for its second STEAM cultural exchange trip to South Africa to continue their mission to use Arts as a bridge to teach Science, Tech, Engineering and Math. The Swaliga Foundation has engaged learners in communities from the DC Metro Area to South Africa to serve over 5,000 young people to date.
