Birmingham’s connection to Black music has always been prolific - From the emergence of Reggae and Ska to the fusion of Caribbean sounds with British punk in the 1970s - 0121 has been a melting pot of musical influences. Its vibrant club scene has played a pivotal role in promoting genres such as Jungle, Drum and Bass, UK Garage, and Grime, providing platforms for emerging Black artists to showcase their talents and push cultural boundaries.
During this panel discussion, we watch and discuss the profound impact of Birmingham's Black musical legacy.
Celebrating the profound impact of Birmingham's Black musical legacy with Punch Records Nikki Riggon, writer and poet Casey Bailey, film maker Daniel Alexander and artists Dapz On The Map and Roxxxan.
