The Film & Poets Showcase

This was truly a magical event, Cinema Paradiso and FtLaudiGras.com hosted The Film & Poets Showcase last night. Local artist such as Just Lashawn, Sheba, Emonie Luv and the internationally acclaimed Bill Flakes performed at a level rarely seen at Broward venues. This was the sign that our area is on the verge of being a major player on the poetry scene. The final piece of the night's event was the showing of the 1974 documentary " Soul Power". This film was the concert that took place prior to the Ali vs Foreman " Rumble In The Jungle " championship fight. It featured the biggest artist of the time such as B.B. King, The Spinners, James Brown, Celia Cruz, Bill Withers and a host of others. Everyone was left eagerly awaiting the next event.
