Welcome to Kongi's Happy Hour & Live Music featuring Bumi Thomas! Join us at The Africa Centre on Sun Jul 21 2024 at 19:00 for a night of great music and good vibes.

Bumi Thomas is a contemporary British Nigerian multidisciplinary artist based in London and Lagos. Her work explores transcending cultural boundaries sonically using photography and music as her mediums of exploration. ‘The human voice is a raging canvas through which words and melodies create patterns of experience. l tell stories about movement, displacement, joy and humanity.’

Thomas has spoken at TEDx Events about the Power of Purpose, the role of art in evolving cultures and the Ripple Effect on the Next Generation. She curates immersive experiences that stimulate trans-cultural dialogue about the role of the female voice in 21st century society.Thomas believes in the importance of creating physical/ ideological spaces that encourage women to activate the feminine principle, take authorship of how they are perceived historically and reclaim their identity through ART, and positive self- representation.

Her latest EP 'Broken Silence' reached No 1 on the UK Itunes RnB charts and was described as 'Strikingly original' by London Jazz News and 'Visceral and Timely' by The Sunday Times. The lead Single 'Black Child' was featured on BBC Radio 4 Loose Ends.

Bumi Thomas was born in Glasgow to Commonwealth Citizens in 1983 and is currently raising awareness through her Initiative ‘Border Natives’ Migration Culture + Interconnections about the retroactive consequences of the 1981 British Nationality Act on UK Born residents that are yet to be formally recognised as citizens in Britain today, due to the changes in Immigration law that have compounded in the Hostile Environment Policy.

The performance takes place in our bar space so please note that seating is not guaranteed or available for reservation.
