Indigenous Hip Hop artist and environmental activist Xiuhtezcatl opened a concert at Crossroads KC last night, the last concert of the season at the open air venue.

The weather was cool, not cold, and the audience was happy and in a festive mood. The venue and the staff were pleasant and very professional.

Xiuhtezcatl’s music is inventive, infectious, executed with precision, and replete with musical and textual meaning. We’re glad we had the opportunity to cover and attend the performance.

Part of last night’s message from Xiuhtezcatl was participation. Ten days, people, ten days.
