My name is Ismael Ahmed, Director and Curator of the Concert of Colors, and host of WDET's "This Island Earth."
I'm here to welcome you to this year's Concert of Colors.
Before we get started, I'd like to take a moment to honor the first peoples of this country and planet.
After all, the Concert of Colors is taking place on their land.
The Concert of Colors was started by Detroit's communities of color to celebrate their cultures and the music of all peoples and to work for peace, love, and justice for all our communities.
Today, we continue in that tradition.
We'd like to thank all the staff, volunteers, and artists that have made this year's event possible.
Especially the Detroit Institute of Arts, who have played such an important role, as well as the Detroit Public Television's WTVS, and Detroit Public Radio's WDET.

It's the 29th annual Concert of Colors.
(upbeat music) - Welcome to the Don Was All-Star Revue, as part of the 29th annual Concert of Colors.
I'm Ann Delisi, from Detroit public radio station WDET.
Every year for the past 13 years, Detroit native Don Was steps away from his role as Blue Note Records President and record producer to come to Detroit as a musician and music director for this celebration of music and cultural diversity.
Don and his band of world-class musicians: Luis Resto, Dave McMurry, Brian Roscoe-White, Randy Jacobs, Ron Otis, Ron Pangborn, and Larry Fortangelo, will pay tribute to funk pioneer George Clinton, in celebration of his life and 80 colorful trips around the sun.
Dynamic Detroit singers Nadir Omowale, Coko Buttafli, Apropos, Jennifer Westwood, the Mollywop Singers, and Dames Brown will be joining the Don Was All-Stars to perform music from George Clinton's funkified musical incarnations.
But we're going to start with the Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences Choir, groovin' through the streets of Detroit, singing George Clinton's funk anthem, "One Nation Under a Groove."
