Song, Music and Storytelling from British Folkies of the African Diaspora
Welcome to the Black British Folk Revival; 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.
This first-of-its-kind festival-style all-dayer features folk music styles ranging from traditional ballad singing to contemporary, experimental folk-inspired music, as well as a live conversation on African diasporic relationships with British folk, and a folk club led by the musicians, open to all audience members.
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, interviewed by Angeline.
