JB the First Lady brings her Indigenous hip hop to River Market for an ArtStarts workshop Jan. 27.

Families are invited to stop by River Market next weekend for the next ArtStarts workshop.

JB the First Lady will be on hand on Sunday, Jan. 27 with an Indigenous hip hop performance.

A write-up about the show notes that she’ll talk about the history of hip hop, the four elements that make it up and how those elements reflect Indigenous culture. Then she’ll lead a short interactive activity teaching students how to beatbox, and she’ll perform some of her songs highlighting the power of storytelling and music.

It’s for all ages, and there are two shows: one at 11 a.m. and one at 1 p.m. The sessions are free, but arrive a little early as the programs are always popular.

River Market is at 810 Quayside Dr. Check out www.artstarts.com/events for details.
