In the winter of 2009, I was enrolled in Carlos Abril’s Multicultural Issues in Music Education course. For my final project, I studied ReFresH; a hip hop dance crew, largely comprised of Asians and Asian-Americans, at Northwestern University. As the study progressed, ReFresH members revealed their organizational aims and views of hip hop to be uncannily relevant to many of the issues that are raised when multiculturalism is implemented in a music education setting. Implications for practice are described based on these findings.
