To celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop in 2023, Hennessy will return to the Body & Soul Festival from June 16-18 with signature blends.
It all started with a party in the Bronx on August 11, 1973. The party is widely considered to be the birthplace of hip-hop, an art form that has influenced every corner of the globe and influenced today’s culture.
To mark this milestone, Hennessy presents ‘Body & Soul 2023’, designed and produced with guest curators Stevie G and Alveen Jusan, who play key roles in the Irish hip-hop and urban music scene.
