• At Ohio's premier arts and culture festival 

Who: Global Entertainment has been selected to perform the new message of "hip hope" on stage with LC Woods, M.D., R.N. and premier violinist Humble G (Global Entertainment was chosen to open for Barak Obama during the campaign in Cleveland, OH)    “Feel, listen and be moved to another paradigm of life. “

     I describe Global Records, the opening act for Barack Obama’s first visit to Cleveland and the originators of Afripean Music, the combination of African drums with European strings that is both excitingly new and hauntingly familiar

.
 
  They play Hip/Hope which is their brand of conscious rap with a difference.  That difference is humble-g the 19 y.o. self taught violin prodigy who spits fire while penetrating magical thinking.  Mic Tate, Producer in tie on left, Humble G, Presidential candidate Obama, LC Woods, M.D.

  Fresh from standing room only crowds in Washington, D.C., they have collaborated with Cleveland’s Ingenuity Technology Festival to perform their most ambitious work to date.  Titled “The Work” it is the finest example of edutainment yet produced by V.P. of Edutainment Kwaku L.C. Woods RN M.D. and the C.E.O. and Head Producer of Global Records McKinley Tate III, known far and wide as Mic Beats.

     Global Entertainment is a unique entity that practices the art of edutainment, which is educating its audience through entertainment.

      It breaks down barriers and overcomes fixed ways of thinking by entering the mind subconsciously with paradigm altering rhetoric often composed by its Vice President of Edutainment Kwaku Larry C. Woods RN M.D. who sculpts the message of Global to meet the needs of the people.

     Global Entertainment is offering the unique opportunity of sponsorship as it presents its 2009 Tour season that starts with a collaboration with Cleveland’s Ingenuity Technology Festival July 11th.  Over 70,000 people will attend the festival this year with Global Entertainment as the featured attraction in a performance that will be pod-cast online to 36 countries.

     In addition to the festival performance Global will be featured in articles in ‘The Healthy Referral’ international newspaper as well the African-American Lifestyle magazine.  

The performance will be web cast over the internet as well as broadcast via cable T.V.
“Don’t ask yourself if it’s your kind of entertainment; give yourself the grace to be transformed”.
