About This Event

London-based collective Kefaya join forces with the Afghan singer and activist Elaha Soroor for a powerful evening of border-crossing music at the Glasshouse. Together they perform material from their acclaimed album Songs of Our Mothers and its follow-up, reworking traditional Afghan folk songs into something urgent and contemporary.\n\nPresented as part of the GemArts programme, the concert is a highlight for anyone drawn to global sounds, protest music and virtuoso live performance. Expect a set that moves between tenderness and defiance in Sage Two's intimate surroundings.
