A recent event aimed to expose the Capital to African people and their culture
The venue was lined with stalls selling African garments, authentic Ethopian coffee and food, such as injira, which tastes a lot like dosa, and a hair-styling kiosk.
“The music allows you to lose yourself in the rhythm, which is the biggest challenge in today’s scenario. West African music being tribal, resonates through your body and centres you emotionally,” says Yashdeep Khare, member of the Sunshine Ensemble. The band had the audience clapping to the rhythm of the African drums, called djembe, at the Akshara Theatre in Delhi for the Spirit of Africa Festival, held recently. The festival organised in collaboration with the P[ART]icle Collective, was not just a celebration of African culture but an effort to spark conversations over racism and work towards inclusion.
