  • On May 28, 2022, 90's hip hop legends Digable Planets lit up the stage with classic performances of “It’s Good To Be Here,” “Where I’m From,” “Nickel Bags,” “9th Wonder,” “The Ambassador” by E-40 and “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat).”
    Digable Planets was part of a historic 7,000+ attendee Year 10 experience. After three reschedules due to the Pandemic, our Core Organizing Team persevered through 1,164 days of planning and execution to produce the event for Portland, OR.
    ******
    With special thanks to the University of Oregon for presenting partnership, a world class stage design provided by Meyer Pro Inc, an incredible legacy bound Event Book provided by Premier Press and to the creative digital craft provided by Enjoy the Weather & Victory Creative. All of our Partners and event history can be found at TEDxPortland.com 90’s hip hop left an indelible mark on the music industry. Groups from De La Soul to Tribe Called Quest - We believe Digable Planets has a seat at that table because they were trailblazers - fusing jazz rap with R&B and melodic rhymes. The legendary Grammy winning trio-Mariana “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira, Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler and Craig “Doodlebug” Irving return to Portland for Year 10 to perform their greatest hits. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
