Aisha Vibes
Singer
Aisha Vibes
On 13 September, Aisha Vibes returns with her second EP, which she created with a self-assembled team of musicians and creatives in Santorini at Blackrock Studios. An EP for the soul, the hips, long car journeys, loud car journeys or simply for a good mood.
BENSH
Singers
BENSH
With his new solo project, BENSH, who has already torn up the country's stages with Peter Fox, has finally come into his own. He combines the universal power of a good song with a unique sound between Afrobeats, R&B and post-everything pop. It's time for a new departure.
Born To Sing
Choir
Born To Sing
Born To Sing aims to (re)establish a healthy relationship with the body and the voice as an instrument through vocal technique and musical coaching. The choir offers singers, especially queers, black people and people of colour, a space to empower themselves through their own voices.
From Startups to
Shooting Stars
Afronauts launching visions,
landing success.
Afronauts symbolise the determination and pioneering spirit of founders, similar to astronauts exploring space and overcoming obstacles to successfully realise their visions. Afronauts encourage us to pursue our dreams and reach for the stars.
