JooWan Kim and Ensemble Mik Nawooj will be performing their extremely successful chamber hip-hop opera ‘Great Integration’ at the Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley on Saturday. The ‘Great Integration’, inspired partly by the Mayan prophecies of the End of Days in 2012, blends genres like never before: hip-hop, jazz, pop and classical music all share beats in this widely acclaimed opera. Pirate Cat Radio voted the ‘Great Integration’ CD as the #1 R&B/Hip-Hop album of February 2010, and the opera played two sold-out shows at ODC Commons in San Francisco in June.
