This is a past event which has now ended.

‘undeniable bounce’ Financial Times

Singers Mamani Keita, Rokia Konem and Awa Sangho and their band bring a fresh lively sound, that seamlessly blends the ancient rhythms of Africa with funk and blues and dabs of dub.

They are part of West Africa’s first all-female supergroup whose 2017 Real World release Republique Amazone featured the legendary Angélique Kidjo and Mariam Doumbia and rising star Nneka. Through their dynamic songs, they convey a powerful political message, opposing violence against women and championing gender equality.

‘infectious energy…a triumph’ The Observer

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
