Nigeria’s Story: Beat of the West - Hosted by BBC presenter Eddie Kadi

Join BBC presenter Eddie Kadi for an in-depth conversation looking at the rise and rise of Nigerian music, it’s powerful impact in the UK and the effect it is having globally.

The west coast of Africa has been the central point for global music over the last few years. Heading the movement has been the music of Nigeria, which has produced some of today’s biggest music stars such as Burna Boy and Wizkid.

London (and in particular Koko) has become its spiritual European home, a place where global sounds meet, culture thrives, and live music takes centre stage.

Don’t miss this chance to explore the stories, rhythms, and cultural influence behind one of the most exciting music movements of our time.

Doors open from 6.30pm with welcome drink on arrival.

Tickets are Pay What You Can, with all donations supporting the Umoja Health Forum - a Camden charity championing health and wellbeing in African & Caribbean communities.

Part of Camden Council's Black History Season Programme for 2025.

Supported by the KOKO Foundation & curated by The Playmaker Group
