This Monday from 12 – 8.30 pm at The Dragon Café – African Connections – Poetry and Drumming
We have an exciting line-up of poets and world class drumming for you this Monday as part of our Celebrating Black History & Culture programme. Hosted by leading figure within the UK’s youth slam poetry movement Jacob Sam-La Rose we welcome Esther Heller – writer, poet and co-founder of Poet and Prophetess; and Gboyega Odubanja – British-Nigerian poet born and raised in East London and a Roundhouse Resident Artist.
Mohamed Gueye is a West African percussionist based in London. Born into a large griot family of drummers from Dakar in Senegal, Mohamed learnt the Sabar and Djembe drum with his family from the age of 5 and has been playing professionally since the age of 15. We will be treated to live performance and hear about these musical traditions.
