On Saturday, February 23, Jack Kerouac's first musical collaborator, composer and multi-instrumentalist David Amram returns to Denver to join forces with Denver's own nationally ranked slam poet Panama Soweto and highly acclaimed hip hop band The Flobots to explore how spoken-word poetry, scat and rap has emerged since the 1950s as a powerful form of autobiographical and social expression. This rare collaborative and intergenerational performance takes place in the Denver Central Library

  • Every time I watch one of these I am in awe of your energy!

  • Awesome! As I told you last Summer Time, You My Dear Mr. David, Are A Treasure!

  • Great job David! You can always bring out the best in large groups of people. See you in Kerrville! Ric

  • i agree so much i was listening to george carlin the other day thinking about how he really was a poet.

  • What if Flobots did a colabo with Matisyahu? How awesome would that be?

  • my life has improved for the better since i found the flobots. No, they found me

  • Bloody Brilliant.

  • i was there that was one of the coolest things ive ever gone to

  • I really hope that Beat Poets and Motivational, Inspirational, and Sensational Rap never die. George Carlin was more of a beat poet than a comic. He understood that people listen to and gestate your words more effectively if there is a rhythm. The rhythmic rise and fall of your spoken word can soothe your audience into a state of complete understanding. It's refreshing and amazing to see that there are still those who would persue and thrive to be great in these musical and poetic fields.

  • Amazing
