About

Mission

Lango Indigenous Hip-Hop strives to build a generation of youths making the most of Hip-Hop as a cultural tool to educate, motivate and to lead our people and facilitating youth and community development.

Vision

A powerful youth generation that is not limited by imagination or self-expression, rising to make a positive difference in our global society.

Core Values

  1. PEACE: We all strive for peace and not to complicate our lives, or the lives of others.
  2. LOVE: We understand that Love or, at least, simple kindness always makes daily living easier. Sometimes it may seem awkward, but it’s important to tell those people that you care about them and that you love them. We never know when we may get another chance to do so.
  3. UNITY: Within our families, circles of friends, associates, churches, communities, organizations – an understanding of unity is essential. How many times have you heard, “Those people are unified, that’s why they get things done.” There are people among us who share similar goals as we do. Even if personalities clash, the concept of unity should always be practiced. When there’s a common goal in mind, it overrides any one person. Actions – not just words.
  4. HAVING FUN: Enjoying ourselves is one humanity’s deepest needs. When it’s done with others and is safe – it heightens the joy and has several positive health effects.
  5. RESPECT: We all want it. And we should give it. The question: are we doing all we can to get it and receive it? Everyone deserves common respect as a human being. Respect is a two-way street.
