The Shrine Competition
The Shrine’s run by
DJs/promoters Rita Ray (ex-Darts!) and Max Reinhardt, whose “talents encompass
presenting, performing, remixing, writing and composing, as well as
programming a range of festivals that attracted over
100,000 people last
year. Inspired by Fela Kuti’s legendary Lagos club and the
rebirth of Afrobeat brought about by his untimely death in 1997, The
Shrine is an Afrocentric musical insurrection for the 22nd Century,
featuring live acts and recorded music – it very quickly became the
biggest Afrocentric club night in London, breaking acts like Orishas,
Tinariwen and Daara J, as well as moving and moulding the
musical and international scene.” Saturday Feb. 25 (10pm-3am) at
Cargo, Kingsland Viaduct, 83 Rivington Street, London EC2
(Old
Street Tube). www.theshrine.uk.com,
