Beyond The Bassline: Celebrating 500 years of Black British Music.

Beyond the Bassline is both a celebration and a starting point, spotlighting the rich legacy of African and Caribbean influences in British music. Yet, this is just the beginning. There's much more to uncover in our ongoing quest to understand and honour the depth of Black British music's impact, on British musical heritage. (Mykaell Riley (Exhibition Curator and Director of the Black British Music Research Unit and former member of Steel Pulse).
