I Dream of Accra with The Long Blonde ‘Fro

Interesting looking spoken word piece coming up at The Drum on June 15th.

If you though you understood Africa in relation to your own life in the West, even just a little, think again…

Africa attacks all the senses – an unparalleled cacophony of sounds, smells, colours and feelings from a continent with a rich, magnificent history and deep rooted culture. I Dream of Accra… captures this frenzied spirit in an epic multimedia poem featuring African and European musicians, poets, storytellers, DJs rappers and visual artists, including Tunde Jegede and his string quartet, MC poet B.R.I.E.S. and Kelly Budge from Your Mum.

Doors are 7.30pm and tickets are a fiver. More info.
