Lil Buck performs Memphis Jookin | The Kennedy Center

Charles Riley, better known as Lil Buck, performs a street dance called Memphis Jookin, that originated in Memphis, Tennessee alongside the emergence of “Buck” music in the 1990’s.

This performance was part of DEMO by Damian Woetzel: Heroes, a night of artists coming together to pay tribute to their artistic inspirations.

“For this DEMO we are celebrating our heroes, those who inspire us, the shoulders we all stand upon, and thinking about the idea of heroism in all our lives. DEMO: Heroes will be a roll call of gratitude, with extraordinary artists paying homage through their performances to their inspirations.”
–Damian Woetzel
