What!!! Rahzel from the original Roots is coming to LEAF! The Human Beatbox aka the Grammy-winning Rapper/MC from the original, world-renowned Roots lineup, has been added to the Saturday night lineup of the October Festival.
Famous for his jaw-dropping vocal percussion and beatboxing prowess, Rahzel is not just a performer, he’s an experience. Dive deep into the pulse and rhythm of hip-hop (on the 50th anniversary of the genre) with this masterful artist who blurs the line between voice and instrument. It’s more than a show: it’s musical genius live onstage.
Aaaand … there will be a Beatbox Play-Shop for all ages. Don’t miss it!
Rahzel is one of the biggest names in beatboxing today, and continues to redefine the limits of the human voice. Known as “The Godfather of Noyze,” he was growing up in Queens when hip-hop blew up. LEAF is thrilled to welcome Rahzel to the fall Festival on the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.
Rahzel’s cousin Rahiem was an original member of the Furious Five, and Rahzel recalls sneaking into their shows, “watching Grand Master Flash before I could even see over the gate.” Rahzel embraced the philosophy that “not having’ was never an excuse for ‘not doing. … To me, [beatboxing] saves lives and I’m a prime example of it. It inspires kids to be creative and motivated.”
Through both his solo work and his stint with the live-music hip-hop group The Roots, Rahzel is credited with bringing beatboxing back to the fore of hip-hop in the 1990s. Rahzel can sing a chorus and beatbox the back-up simultaneously, a skill showcased on his signature song, “If Your Mother Only Knew,” from his groundbreaking first album, Make the Music 2000. Rahzel has worked with artists from Björk to Branford Marsalis.

The Greek Asheville Festival has been offered by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church for over thirty years. Annually locals and tourists flocked downtown to watch Greek dancing, enjoy Greek food, listen to Greek music and learn about our heritage, customs and faith.
In 2007 Holy Trinity renovated its property and by 2010 moved its festival from downtown to our own location on Cumberland Ave. to share with Asheville the Church and property we have proudly built. Montford itself had become a much more inviting neighborhood by this time as well.
Until 2019 we held festival after festival in the Montford neighborhood. Moving allowed us to open our home to the larger Asheville area sharing our faith through church tours, providing hospitality in our kitchen and event center.
2020-22 we hosted a drive-thru in lieu the regular festival. This was initially a response to Covid-19 and the restrictions imposed to contain the virus and limit its effects. We want to thank everyone who participated during these years as your continued support is allowing us to return to our full festival in 2023!
We thank you for your continued support, we look forward to offering you the same great food as we have been known for. Your patience is very appreciated. We have organized a team that is excited to bring back the full festival everyone remembers. In order to make this a success we need you, we need volunteers, sponsors, vendors and festival goers. We hope you will join us on this venture.
Γεια σου! – Be Happy!
