Listening Session: Generation(s) of Panafrica – An Ode to Street Soul
Barbican Centre · Silk St, Barbican, London EC2Y 8DS
3 July 2026
A father and son revisit street soul, the DIY sound British Black musicians built from bedroom tapes and community halls in the late 1980s. It is a listening session tied to the Pan-Africanism exhibition next door, made for those who would rather hear it aloud than read it in a crowd.
