Experience a powerful musical journey where tradition meets contemporary expression. This dynamic ensemble features three captivating soloists alongside a live four-piece band—drums, bass, keyboard, and percussion—creating a rich, layered sound full of energy and emotion.

Through evocative songs and vibrant instrumentation, the performance tells stories of home, identity, resilience, joy, sorrow, and triumph. Each piece reflects the shared experiences and cultural connections within African, Caribbean, and Black communities.
The visual experience is equally compelling, with performers dressed in traditional attire and the expressive use of flowing scarves adding movement, color, and atmosphere to the stage.

Join us for a moving celebration of culture, heritage, and storytelling through music.
Be ready to experience a cultural explosion as we take you through time and space.

Featuring
Noreta Lewis, Oghenevwede Oturuhoyi, Nathan Hackett, Rasheed Lawrence, Sokhana Mfenyana, Ramoy Rodriquez and Andrew Clarke
