This festival-style all-dayer includes traditional folk sounds, modern British music inspired by folk traditions, a live conversation on African diasporic identities and relationships with British folk, and much more. Guest curator Angeline Morrison and friends take over Cecil Sharp House with folk sounds, songs, and stories that shine a long overdue light on the African Diaspora's love for, and ongoing conversations with, British folk.
Featuring music from Angeline Morrison & Mataio Austin Dean, Germa Adan, Bethany Weimers, Marie Bashiru, Border Widow, Calliope, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne and Muco. Plus conversation with Zakia Sewell and Emma Kathryn.
