Iman Omari & Cavalier – Are You Hearing Me?

Dance film – Are You Hearing Me? – is an exploration of spirituality in the language of Hip Hop. The film brings together Hip Hop innovators from the east and west coast— Grammy Award-winning producer Iman Omari (Kaytranada “2 The Music”), avant-garde emcee Cavalier, and Bruk Up dance innovator Albert “The Ghost” Esquilin illuminate the healing power of African Diasporic art during difficult times. The latest production by Roc Nomadia Productions in collaboration with Vibe Music Collective, directed and produced by Petra Richterova? and Albert “The Ghost” Esquilin, and edited by Roberto Garci?a Matus, features cinematography by music photographer and second-time filmmaker Richterova?. The collaboration between Omari, Cavalier, and The Ghost marks a historic moment—the future of Hip Hop culture is danced into existence through Omari’s hypnotic soundtrack blending post-Dilla beats with sensitive melodies. The song, composed by Omari exclusively for the film, creates a unique tension between sound and motion. Magnified by masterful emcee Cavalier, the interplay between word and movement brings an unmatched complexity through a syncopated word-flow style. “I was using flows inspired by different parts of Ghost’s movement, but still aiming to sound natural and ideally effortless,” says Cavalier. “I let my mind and body flow. This performance is not anything more than honest expression,” answers The Ghost.
