Aberdeen Performing Arts Head of Creative Engagement, Susan Whyte, said: “We’re always excited to see what Raven Afrikulture will do next, and they have once again curated a fantastic night of entertainment, bursting with incredible talent, which the Afro Indie Series has come to be known for.
“It is sure to be the best one yet!”
Adedeji Ekundayo, and Adebayo Winsala, Founders of Raven Afrikulture, said: “It all started as a dream, and here we stand today with the fourth edition of the Afro Indie Series. We are not just marking another event, we are celebrating a thriving community and a resilient movement. This platform has proudly supported over 20 emerging local artists and brought in four established international acts within 12 months to collaborate, share music, and perform with our local gems right here in Aberdeen.
“This has offered our local talent a stage to shine, a network to thrive, and the confidence to know creativity has no limit giving them genuine wings to leverage onto the global stage.
“For this special finale AIS 4.0, we are thrilled to bring all of our local alumni back for an unprecedented collaborative edition, a true testament to the growth of this dream.
