notes
Farbeon (Fabian Saucedo) is a poet/emcee/educator
hailing from El Paso, Texas. He is currently teaching
Poetry, Performance, & Hip-Hop Activism at New Design
High School and Facing History School. As well, as the
Director of Education and Outreach for the Bowery
Poetry Club (www.bowerypoetry.com), he develops
programming to bridge the gap between education and
the arts, specifically poetry and literacy.
Musically, Farbeon reps both Say Word Entertainment
(NYC) and the Blow Up Co-Op (AZ). In 2002, Farbeon
worked with veteran hip-hop producer Foundation (AZ)
to indpendently release Collective Memory. Shortly
there after, he moved to the commercially-saturated
scene of New York City and was quick to find out that
he had taken for granted the cooperative vibe of the
Southwest.
In the fall of 2003 he co-founded Say Word
Entertainment, a collective of socially-conscious and
like-minded artists, musicians, and promoters, who
want to bring genuine hip-hop culture, community, and
activism back to NYC. In early 2005, as a member of
3rd Party (Hired Gun, Rabbi Darkside, DJ Watts and
AndI) he released, Pressed for Time, an album which
recieved "****" in the September, '05 issue of Urb
Magazine (and which can also be purchased on CD Baby).
He has rocked well over 100 shows from the East Coast
to the West Coast, and has shared the stage with some
of the most repected acts in hip-hop music: The Last
Poets, Rob Swift & the Executioners, Wordsworth,
Fatlip from the Pharcyde, 2 Mex, and Immortal
Technique to name a few.
