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, www.ticketweb.co.uk, 08700 600 100. Gate fee’s £10.
