Africans, native Americans and Chicano people - these are the people that have such a deep story to tell,  but rarely get the spotlight.

The youth of these cultures especially hardly get any love. They come from places all around the world, but are they frequently on the radio or the television or movies you see. 

As part of the Visual Audio Club, a progressive multimedia and educational experience, we hope to tell the stories of a few budding, talented immigrant and children of immigrants right here in Denver - a city with an overwhelming number of international voices that are seldom heard.

Meet these Denver, Colorado locals making waves, vocally, inspirationally, creatively, memorably:

Ezana Tesfamarian, “Eazy Blank”

Ruben Saldivar-Romero

Shewit Hailu

Diego Florez-Arroyo, “Astro Revolution”

If you want to know more about them, check out these videos by Youth on Record, who has been training and offering mentorship for them, as well as countless other youth in Denver.

More about the Visual Audio Club

The Visual Audio Club is a progressive, educational multimedia production collective that aims to bring international and diverse talents and voices to the forefront. Hopefully, our productions help guide our culture.

We are new, and only just forming as a collection between Denver Public Library’s cultural outreach, KGNU Radio 88.5FM/1390AM oral history project and GlobalColoradoNews.net, an international news happening here in Denver.

The Viusal Audio Club not only wants to bring voice to those that make up such a diverse culture in Denver, we try to bring mainstream audiences back into alternative media, in order to alter our movement’s culture to be more deep-rooted and culturally aware. This production, as well as the music in this production, is intended to brings about enlightenment and change.

Through live events, radio, television and online video, the Visual Audio Club hopes to bring All internationally concerned, yet locally active, community members to participate in, learn from and be entertained by underground and international music and culture of Denver, Colorado.

So far, we are:

Yolanda Chichester of Denver Public Library’s Byers Branch

Dave Ashton, Denver program manager at KGNU Community Radio 88.5FM/1390AM

Diana Aqra, local writer and producer of the GlobalColoradoNews.net website and the video above

DJ Alisha B

Tyler Breuer, director of programs, Youth on Record
