Translations

"Long ago it was written in blood and blues of our black desperate lives came a beat that survives a music travelling on from the core of Africa it decries."
-Byron Wallen


Dele Sosimi, Christina Oshunniyi, Byron Wallen, Lemm Sissay, Dzifa Benson, Zena Saro-Wiwa and others star in Translations a cross-artform celebration of Africa and her languages.
