From child soldier in Africa to a Human Rights Activist, Author, Modern Day Revolutionary & Rapper. Catch the man’s musical stories this Friday at The Basement with a special film screening of the film “Warchild”, the story of child soldier, Emmanuel Jal.
After a hard day’s work, some people rush to the bottle, some the pipe. While others just turn on their speakers.
This is one for those kinds of people, my kind of people. Perfect Monday night vibes.
Also for those into African Music vibes be sure to keen an ear out for the African Film Festival fundraiser “MUSIC IS THE WEAPON’ that will showcase the amazing documentary from 1983 on FELA KUTI by the same name. The night will also feature Sydney’s own AFRO BEAT legends The Liberators play live in a rare personal tribute to some of their inspirations followed by Soul Of Sydney DJ’s & Friends paying our own special tribute with a solid dose of Afro-Beat & Afro-Funk sounds to close off the night.

Ok we never get too political on here, but I was actually just reading the tweets on #Egypt and have a guess what tune popped up on shuffle…
