Rockaz MVMT {pronounced Rockers Movement} is an infinite movement of people thru music, arts, culture & technology. A grassroots network designed to enable change and create solutions. We inform, inspire and engage to evolve. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for the underprivileged by providing educational resources, encouraging individual responsibility and volunteer action on a musical platform. Events are designed as family fun filled days of community and environmental awareness, social consciousness with an urgent humanitarian effort to end hunger. Music and movements go hand-in-hand: music has been a key part of social change. It gives us an outlet to express that which we care about, a quality of life concept to bring the knowledge of need through music.

If you can dream of a better world, you can make it happen.

For Alfonso D’Niscio Brooks and Ewart Jr Burton, the driving force behind Rockaz MVMT, turning that dream into reality has become a vocational signature. Through the universal language of music, as well as a vision for the arts and cultural media, Alfonso has tapped into the social consciousness to uplift the spirit and inspire people of every ilk to give of themselves to help make the world a better place in which to live.

Rockaz MVMT produces a series of entertaining and fun-filled music/arts events around the world, all custom-tailored for the enjoyment of families and individuals of all ages and musical tastes. These masterful events feature multiple headliner acts, as well as some of the world’s most promising up-and-coming talent. Music, art, fashion, technology and food from around the world provide the backdrop to a truly amazing cultural experience.

As befits its world-changing raison d’etre of empowering people to help people, Rockaz MVMT also is committed to changing the world through sound environmental practices. All Rockaz MVMT events incorporate myriad green initiatives (minimizing waste, recycling, etc.).

In the US, each spring Rockaz MVMT hosts the Free Miami Reggae Festival in Coconut Grove. With summer comes the annual Carifest NYC (Reggae Carifest) in New York City. And in the fall, Bayside Rocks Festival brings world music to downtown Miami. President’s Weekend brings the One Love Nutrifest in Miami during Winter 2012. Additional festivals fill out the Rockaz MVMT calendar of events in North America.

But it takes more than great music to turn the dream of a better world into a reality. That’s why proceeds from Rockaz MVMT events are donated to established non-profit organizations that fight poverty, house the homeless and feed the hungry in the US and abroad. In fact, patrons are asked to bring at least two items of non-perishable food as a part of the cost of admission.

Changing the world for the better is an ongoing process in which Rockaz MVMT is proud to be a part. But perhaps the greatest gift we can offer people – and ourselves – is the empowerment that comes from knowing you can make a difference, and that we are in fact, making a difference.
