People of all backgrounds are invited to take a musical journey and celebrate the work of Norfolk’s most successful black musicians on Thursday 21 October at the Forum, Norwich. The idea behind Mapazi – Roots and Branches, organised by Culture Crossroads, won the Norfolk Community Cohesion & Norfolk County Council Black History Month 200 Gold Award which has provided funding towards this educational event. Culture Crossroads is an organisation that works with powerfully inspiring tutors and performers to improve inter-cultural understanding. Together with the BBC Voices team and Future Projects they have created brand new documentaries about the lives, influences and inspirations of four of Norfolk’s outstanding black musicians, Anna Mudeka, Glynnis, Jose Ferrera and Girl in a Thunderbolt.
There will be exclusive live performances by the artists representing a diverse range of musical styles as well as DJs and fine food with Caribbean, African and British flavours, catered by Jan’s Roti and Munyah.
There will also be the opportunity to be the first to view brand new documentaries that profile these outstanding musicians – a fully interactive cinematic experience that is perfect for people wanting an introduction to a variety of exciting musical genres or for fans who have been alongside the artists and supporting them every step of the way.
The event requires no booking and there is a small entrance fee of just £3. For further information please call Caspar James on 07532 001361, or email mail@culturecrossroads.co.uk. More information about Culture Crossroads can be found on their website www.culturecrossroads.co.uk.
