Want to showcase your music?
Despite the sense of isolation that the pandemic created, Black musicians have kept us going throughout the pandemic. This summer, we are creating opportunities for people to celebrate the music that has held us up. In collaboration with Small World Music, Playing the Diaspora is a showcase to uplift local musicians. We are looking for artists who can represent the cultural and sonic diversity of the Afro-diaspora. All genre’s are welcome.
See details below.
