Join us to celebrate World Refugee Week 2024. This year's theme is is “Our Home” - from the places we gather to share meals to our collective home, planet earth: everyone is invited to celebrate what our Our Home means to them.We're thrilled to welcome Bristol-based Baraka - a unique combination of musicians from Ghana, Senegal, Dominica, Germany, Trinidad and Southern Ireland. Each musician contributes his individual sound and style – Reggae featuring a Kora and Djembe, Township with a Calypso bassline, Hilife with Blues Harmonica, Soca with Balafon and Flute. Baraka features musical collaborations that you are unlikely to hear with any other band!
Plus Diabel Cissokho - singer, songwriter, kora player, multi-instrumentalist, producer - a creative musical dynamo emerging out of West Africa.
There'll also be craft and food stalls with Ukrainian and Syrian produce, and many community stalls.
