We have put together for your pleasure
a right royal jamboree of African proportions that welcomes
all of London’s communities to experience and celebrate
the richness and diversity of African culture in the Capital.
Featuring bands and solo artists providing traditional and
contemporary music from nations such as Somalia, Tanzania,
Congo and Gambia.
Savour mouth-watering food from Uganda, Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria
and Ethiopia.
Dance to a range of African beats such
as Kwaito, High Life, Tassou and Afro beat brought to you
by top DJs from Kenya, Rwanda, Eritrea and South Africa.
African culture is not a spectator’s
sport, so get interactive with African mask making, gumboot
dancing and Djembe drum workshops, plus exciting rugby demonstrations
by London Nigeria rugby team.

stone sculptures from Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Finest” stage, showcasing the talents of Africans in
