The London Lucumi Choir is a choir which explores the songs of the African Diaspora as expressed in Cuba. It is also interested in comparative regional song studies. The songs that we sing not only are still sung within ceremony and within living Orisha traditions, but they are part of a tradition which historically has been marginalised. It is also part of a history of resistance and survival after years of brutality, genocide, and displacement. It is a powerful testament to the fact that culture, ancient wisdom and connections can withstand the most brutal acts of Colonialism.

We see parallels between all anti colonialist struggles and therefore we support the Palestine people as we do all Indigenous people. We also recognise the importance of not being silent surrounding a time where a colonial project is involved in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of a whole people. We also recognise the importance of culture and uplifting the Culture of the Palestinian people, as a form of resistance.

We recently signed the open letter ” Music for Ceasefire” https://djmag.com/news/musicforaceasefire-open-letter-signed-over-1000-artists

Stop Bombing Children! Ceasefire now! End the Occupation and Apartheid now! Free Palestine.
