Le Transbordeur 3 Boulevard bataille de Stalingrad - 69100 Villeurbanne

In 2015, Georges Fagbohoun, breakdancer with the Pockemon Crew, lost his son to a rare disease. As a result of this, a deeply moving assemblage of people came together to support him, which later became a community known as Les Héros des Hostos. Their aim is to restore smiles to the faces of children suffering from serious diseases, and collect funds to provide for their everyday needs, and/or buy equipment to improve the quality of their lives.

Lyon's own hip-hop community therefore got together, and were rapidly joined by a few trailblazers of the French stage, to devise a show to be held on Sunday 11th February at Le Transbordeur in their hometown. The schedule for the day includes some blazing rap with Kéry James and Demi-Portion, laughter with the humourist Rman and the comedian (and YouTuber) Jhon Rachid, and some high-flying dancing with So Unikid, Nigwaz and Lilou from the Pockemon Crew. Last but not least, a drove of street artists (Birdy Kidz, Ogreoner, El Seed, JR, Don Mateo, Grem's and Dontwa) will be selling some of their works.
