Listening to Christylez Bacon Could Be Habit Forming
It doesn’t matter what age you are, or what genre of music is your thing, if you want to be hip, then you had better get to know “the human beat box,” aka Christylez Bacon. He calls himself a “progressive Hip Hop artist,” but that just doesn’t do his talent justice. Anyone who has ever caught one of his performances will tell you he is more than just an entertainer, he is unequivocally “brilliant.” If you play your cards right and RSVP now, you might still get to see him perform tomorrow evening at the residence of the Turkish Ambassador.
Ambassador Giulio Terzo di Sant’Agata at the Italian Embassy
The Italian Embassy hosted a cocktail hour for its new art exhibit in which various masterpieces from the last 150 years are on display from now until October 30th. The works were individually chosen, one from each region of Italy, and span several genres, including naturalism, futurism, expressionism, and metaphysical art, an Italian movement which would later inspire the surrealists.
