Description:
Following a successful year performing across India, China, United States and Europe, AfroReggae, Rio’s cultural warriors return to the Barbican with an explosion of percussion. Hip-Hop and reggae rhythms from the heart of the favela fuse with the deep funk sounds of James Brown, providing a pulsating peripheral vision that sees art where others see no solution. Favelization will feature sounds and images from young performers in East London, inspired by AfroReggae. On Friday 26 September, there will also be a special AfroReggae performance for our East London community partners to celebrate bite’s 10th anniversary. Have you seen AfroReggae perform before?
