We sang all weekend long at HARLEM WEEK Inc. Not only did Mama Music Matters deliver energetic pop-up performances, but the community blew us away with free open mic karaoke! And to close out the weekend’s festivities, Sing Harlem turned up the heat on the Main Stage.

A huge thank you to our friends at Harlem Week, our Mama team, and YOU for making this a weekend to remember. Same time next year?
