Don’t miss out on this unique chance to feel the pulse of Africa with friends and new faces alike\, while supporting two important social causes. \nEUGENE SKEEF is a world-renowned\, multi-faceted South African percussionist\, composer\, poet and educationalist\, who was recently appointed as a Professor of Practice at the University of Johannesburg’s Centre for Education Rights and Transformation. His professional journey is deeply rooted in his history as a young activist working alongside anti-apartheid visionary Steve Biko\, during which he co-led a nation-wide literacy campaign that reached schools\, colleges\, and communities across South Africa. \nBased in London since 1980\, Eugene has built a prolific career as a workshop leader\, broadcaster\, and consultant on cultural development. In 2003\, he established Umoya Creations\, a charity designed to facilitate his international work in conflict resolution and creative leadership. His significant contributions to the UK’s cultural landscape include serving on the board of the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) and being named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He was also the musician in residence at the Purcell School of Music and served on the advisory committee for the ABRSM’s Sound Junction project. \nEugene’s artistic achievements are prestigious and diverse. In 2005\, he performed with his Abantu Ensemble at Buckingham Palace for the Queen and in 2008 his orchestral commission Excite! premiered at the Royal Festival Hall. His collaborative work The Battle Of The Wordsmiths was also shortlisted for the PRS New Music Award in 2010. \nCurrently\, Eugene serves as the Artistic Director of Quartet of Peace\, an international initiative by South African luthier Brian Lisus\, using music to promote peaceful resolutions to conflict and poverty\, particularly among youth\, while honouring South Africa’s four Nobel peace laureates Dr. Albert Luthuli\, Nelson Mandela\, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and FW de Klerk. As Eugene prepares for a permanent return to the country of his birth\, he aims to contribute his extensive skills to the ongoing vision of a democratically cohesive South Africa.https://eugeneskeefrhythmforlife.wordpress.com/https://eugeneskeef.com/ https://twitter.com/eugeneskeefhttps://www.instagram.com/eugeneskeef/http://www.facebook.com/eugene.skeef \nANSUMANA SUSO is a virtuoso kora maestro\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer and producer\, born in The Gambia\, a nation celebrated for its deep cultural and musical traditions. From his earliest years\, his home was filled with the resonant sounds of the Kora\, Balafon\, and Djembe\, creating a rhythmic foundation that would define his life’s work. His griot family played a crucial role in nurturing this passion\, allowing him to explore ancestral instruments from a young age. \nHe began his formal musical journey with the balafon\, an instrument he learned to play as naturally as walking because it was always present in his household. In 2009\, a significant milestone occurred when his mother gifted him a Kora. The moment he touched the strings\, he felt an “indescribable connection” that set his career in motion. Since then\, he has mastered various other instruments\, including the guitar\, drums\, and djembe\, each adding layers to his soulful musical identity. \nAnsumana’s talent quickly made him a prominent fixture of the Gambian music scene\, where he became known for his vibrant energy and ability to blend traditional African music with modern styles. His reputation eventually crossed borders\, leading to performances at prestigious global festivals such as Glastonbury\, WOMAD\, and Shambala. He has also collaborated with major hip-hop artists\, showcasing the beauty of African sounds in a contemporary context. \nDriven by a desire for innovation\, Ansumana relocated to the United Kingdom to engage with its diverse\, multicultural music community. Through jam sessions and collaborations with artists from various backgrounds\, he continues to push the boundaries of his craft. Ansumana views music as a universal language capable of bridging cultures. He remains dedicated to honouring his West African roots while exploring new sounds\, inviting the world to join him on his extraordinary soulful journey. https://www.ansukora.com/home https://www.facebook.com/ansumana.suso.77/ \nENTHUM FOUNDATION (UK) provide unaccompanied young people seeking asylum with a safe home and prepare them for independent life in the UK\, aiming to empower each young person by building on their resilience and the reconciliation of their trauma. https://enthum-foundation.raiselysite.com/ \nHASKEY-PROJECT (GHANA) aims to contribute to a Ghanaian society where people with special challenges are included as anyone else and are seen as equal and respected members of their communities. https://www.haskey-projekt.de/english/
