Bring KOLLABORATION to Harvard!

If you haven't heard of Kollaboration, they are a really awesome non-profit dedicated to "Empowerment through Entertainment." They aim to show Asian Americans in a positive light in the entertainment field. 

AAA would love to bring them to Harvard to perform for free. It's as easy as registering your basic info with the civic engagement initiative Youth Charge Now (make sure you list your college as Harvard University....we're competing with other schools across the nation)! Please, help us out and register!!!


Some videos of Kollaboration performers:

Far East Movement

....is officially the first Asian American music group to break the Top 10 on Itunes and Billboard (it hit #1 on the former), with their song, "Like a G6."

You may be wondering, "What is a G6?" Seems like a lot of other people are wondering too. Yay, Internet.

Jenny, Jos, and I were lucky enough to meet the members of Far East Movement at MIT CSC's New Year's Banquet last spring. Not only do they hail from diverse Asian backgrounds (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino), they're reaaaalllllly nice, and know how to throw a good show. And now I can say they hit it big! I have an autographed CD from them, so maybe I'll just leave that in the AAA office so someone in the future can listen to it and be like, "Ohhh....so that's what they sounded like before they were famous..."

Listen to their song below and see for yourself:
