AFRICA COMES TO LONDON 23 – 30 May
The sun is finally out in London and with it comes an African festival called OUT OF AFRICA. OOT 2005 is being held in the heart of London: Kingsly court and Carnaby St to be exact, right near SOHO, Regents Street, Picadally circus… W1 which means ZONE 1 to those in the know.
The festival is a carnival of soun…
ds, colours and tastes that grabs the imagination and will broaden perceptions about Africa forever. It’s being held from the 23 May to the 30 May 2005.
A quick glance at the program reveals little REPRESENTATION from South Africans… but I am sure there will be lots more opportunity next year…Get in and find out. There is a Zimbabwean/UK vocalist Netsayi performing as well as the official release of the next AMABALA cd called REAL EARTH that does feature SA bands but otherwise it looks a bit bare… The categories at the festival are MUSIC, FASHION, POETRY, DANCE and DJ’ing – so lots of scope for us to fill.
If you’re in London go down to Carnaby st for a bit of homebrew…
