Culture: Vietnam to host UK hip-hop concert

As I am just beginning to discover and explore music made by artists that are actually still alive, (I now know who Fergie is - and for that I am extremely grateful!) this story caught my eye.

Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are to host the, "It's Not a Rumour!"hip-hop concert featuring hip-hop artist AKALA from the UK, DJ Joan Flerin, drummer Richard Cassell, and Vietnamese rap artists Kim and Tien Dat, the Big Toe and T&A dance groups.

According to local media the event is the finale of UK splash - a month of educational and cultural activities organised by the British Council in Vietnam.

I guess it will make a change to, "Whiter Shade of Pale".
