IF IT FITS IN THE BACKPACK... 10 years on the road with MOCHILLA June 2, 2011

On June 2nd, 2011, Peek Gallery in association with Noise Pop proudly presents an exclusive photo gallery IF IT FITS IN THE BACKPACK...10 Years On the Road with MOCHILLA.
B+ and Coleman, Mochilla's co-founders, have photographed some of music's biggest icons, including Eminem, Lauryn Hill, Black Eyed Peas, DJ Shadow, MF Doom, Dilated Peoples, Blackalicious, David Axelrod, Mulatu Astatke, J.Dilla, EPMD, Snoop Dogg, Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli), Damian Marley, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Madlib, Jay Electronica, and many others. Outside of their photography work, Mochilla developed into a full service production company, producing 3 groundbreaking music films which include KEEPINTIME, BRASILINTIME, and TIMELESS, all exploring the connection between Jazz/Soul/Funk/Brasilian music and the latter generation of DJs and producers who were so influenced by the previous generation's music and aesthetic.
Recent video projects include Eric Coleman's video work w/ Jay Electronica in South Africa; B+'s travels w/ Nas & Damian Marley in Jamaica; an interview with the legendary Jose Maria "Curro" Fuentes (producer of some of Colombia's most important musicians and orchestras on his own Discos Curro imprint); and their combined work on Banksy's film, "Exit Through The Gift Shop."
