About this event
A free riverside takeover of SWANA sound running from mid-afternoon until the Thames goes dark. Gnawa trance, Levantine dabke lines that pull in passers-by, Sudanese DJ sets and Egyptian trios share one open terrace. Part of the Southbank Centre's Riverside Sessions, it is the kind of afternoon where the audience ends up dancing rather than watching.
