thePeople Joy @ SOM...Ron Trent this Saturday....BOOM! Posted at 7:42 PM Nov 12 view more
thePeople Party was started in November of 2007 by music lovers who felt the East Bay was being overlooked by Bay Area taste makers. Oakland, with its history as a community of immigrants, transplants, revolutionaries, leftists, artists, and people of color, was an obvious place to create a gathering focused on creative community building through art and culture.
thePeople aims to redefine nightlife in the East Bay by cultivating music, art, dance, fashion, cuisine, and community to create a soulful and eclectic experience. You can expect to hear gems from across the musical spectrum - progressive dance-hop to Afrobeat flavored house - the only limit imposed on the music is that it must move the body, mind, soul, or all three. Guest Chefs nourish thePeople with meaningful cuisines including locally and organically sourced food and foods that reflect the diverse cultural heritages of the community. Artisan vendors display and sell work including painting, jewelery, and clothing.

Peeps,
Black music tells a story of traditions reborn outside the context of their origin...a story of adaptations and innovations springing like branches from a tree with deep roots. It’s a story that says: That which is unique is not just a part of the whole. It's essential to the whole.
thePeople (you and I who make up this party) strive to honor this story whether by welcoming new faces or by spinning new music along side the classic stuff.
Last night, we, thePeople, took our tradition to a new context and discovered new beauty, new pleasures, and new possibilities. What a night.
Thank you for being apart of it. Let's do it again soon. Shall we?
