Theatrical extravaganzas such as Afrika Afrika, The Lion King and the famous South African production, Umoja, have injected London with the heat and exoticism of the African continent. Exploration of everything African is now penetrating cosmopolitan London, creating a home from home experience on stage for those living within the diaspora and for those who want to learn more. With such rich and exciting traditions, it is fantastic to see Britain welcoming and taking an interest in the free-spirited African culture – to witness years of versatile history depicted on large stages in celebration of all that is African.
