MTSU’s Electronic Media Communication and Recording Industry departments will produce the concert and film a music video and footage for a documentary on Afroflow, hip-hop and culture, particularly Ethiopian culture. A parade of flags and music beginning at 4:15 at the art building will wind its way to the stage by the Honors College.
