Roots in Rhythm: A celebration of African artforms

This May bank holiday, we’re kicking things off in style with a night of electrifying live music, DJs, poetry, art, and dance. We’re bringing together artists from across disciplines to create an immersive celebration of Africa’s rhythmic heartbeat—its music, movement, and soul.

Expect an atmosphere filled with energy, unity, and creativity as we honour the cradle of rhythm, breaking borders and coming together in a safe space where inspiration can flow freely.

🎶 Live Music Lineup:

🔥 London Afrobeat Collective

One of the UK’s most explosive live bands, London Afrobeat Collective are set to ignite the stage with their high-energy blend of traditional afrobeat, hi-life, funk, jazz, Latin, and dub.

🔥 Angata

Joining the lineup is Angata, an Afro-groove collective blending the rich traditional sounds of West Africa with soul, jazz, and afrobeats.

The incredible Volta45 will be spinning highlife gems and rare African records to close the night off! He's a true veteran and avid record collector...anyone that's seem him before knows the vibes are unmatched.

🎤 Beyond the Music:

Throughout the night there will be spoken word poetry, sharing stories of belonging and diversity, as well as an interactive art workshop, giving you the chance to get creative and express yourself.

Dancers will use the space throughout the live music to add to the spectacle to immerse you to new levels.

This is more than just a night out—it’s a cultural experience like no other.
