This Saturday, we have our final "Echoes of Windrush" session at Wellingborough African and Caribbean Association, this time with Aga Serugo Lugo!

To book your free place, register here: https://bit.ly/windrushwaca

This will be a unique and fascinating creative music session for the whole family. Describing the session, Aga says: "Sing and celebrate music from the African diaspora. Starting from the great continent itself, we’ll look into the history of music with African origins and explore how it’s influenced the music we create and listen to today, including from home-grown British talent. Then we’ll look at the links between these songs to create our own piece celebrating Black history."
