Zion Arts Centre - Pre-Carnival VIP Night
Do you want to hear some African drumming? For once, I actually liked this.
Erinma Bell MBE from Peace FM and Angela Lawrence of Mothers Against Violence were just 2 of the many guests & artistst.
I talked to Angela and she was telling me how wonderful people have been since the Secret Millionaire was aired that week. Later I met some people promoting the Afrika Afrika show. They gave tickets as prizes to some of the young people involved in last weekend’s carnival parade.
When the Afro-Brazilian capoeira demonstration was on, I noticed the mix of races and how they were integrated in this music art form. Next, Vicky Sinclaire from Generate Generations gave me the mic and I was asked to introduce Erinma onto the stage out-of-the-blue. I’ve met Erinma once before at Zion Arts and I couldn’t think of any organisations she was involved in - so I introduced her as from Peace FM.
I’ve only got a camera phone so certain images don’t come out right. With a few glasses of wine and delicious chocolate cake, I enjoyed my evening at the Zion.
