Dunham, NC – Hip Hop heads residing in Durham, North Carolina are in for a treat. Moogfest — the annual festival dedicated to the work of Robert Moog, best known as the inventor of the Moog synthesizer — has just added a free stage with an awesome line-up.
On May 19 in the heart of downtown Durham, the festival (now in its 14th year) has announced the addition of legendary producer/DJ Pete Rock, as well as Ali Shaheed Muhammad, the key component of the immortal A Tribe Called Quest. The two will each do a live DJ set and given their history, it’s a free experience that fans won’t want to miss.
